So Rockets move to third spot with their win. Spirit, on the other hand, have three losses from three games and are languishing at the bottom of the table. Will they be able to revive their campaign? For now, that's all from our side. See you soon.
Bryony Smith is the Match Hero. "Nice to contribute with the bat as the ball wasn't coming on," she says. "We spoke yesterday how partnerships will be the key and we lacked that in the first three games. [On Sciver's bowling] She makes it look easy, isn't it?"
6.00pm A thumping win for Rockets, on their captain Sciver's birthday. Sciver herself played a key role in the win, scoring 42 off 34 balls and then picking up two wickets in her first set to rock the chase. But before all that, it was Bryony Smith's 63 off 44 balls that fuelled Rockets to 142 for 4, which proved too many for Spirit.

Sciver to Dean, FOUR, down the track but Sciver bowls it down the leg side. Dean still manages to flick it behind square leg and a valiant effort from the deep square leg fielder ends in vain
