6.05pm Well well well. Laura Wolvaardt. She doubted herself. She wasn't sure if she was the best fit at the top of the order in the shorter formats. She's a pristine ball-striker but because she's so textbook, she often hits straight to the field. It was a little bit like that today too, but she kept at it, and she kept at it, and now here she is, unbeaten on 90 off 49 to ensure the highest chase in the Women's Hundred.
Wolvaardt went 4, 4, 4, 6 and 4 between balls 85 and 89 and that just turned the game. Here she is as Match Hero "I feel like I hit them well in the warm-up so I knew if I just had to be calm. [Will you open from now on?] This will help. I didn't have a great start opening the batting. Found my feet at No. 3 and 4. But with Jemi being ruled out, we had to shake things up. I feel like I wasn't timing it throughout the whole tournament. I don't know what changed today but I'm glad it did. I feel like the games before, I tried to whack it way too hard and lost my shape. But now opening the batting, I knew I had more time and just focus on piercing the field"
"As a unit, we had full faith in her and what she did was phenomenal. She's just a general striker of the ball. She just times the ball really well" Superchargers captain Armitage says, "Brought the girls together after Dottin hit those sixes and I said to them, it's a really good pitch. They're potential 10-20 runs short. I was just feeling them up a bit. Katie Levick was outstanding today. I'm really lucky she's in my side. She was a great match-up to Dottin as well, with the ball turning away from her. The way Wolfy was striking it, I just thought today's going to be her day. The depth in English domestic cricket is pushing the Hundred on nicely. It's not just the international players."
That's all from us. Thanks so much for your company. But there's plenty more cricket on offer with the men's teams taking the field soon

Dottin to Graham, 1 run, That's the win!. Dottin goes short. Graham brings out the pull. It goes to the right of the short fine fielder and into the boundary
Headingley rises. ONe to win.

Dottin to Wolvaardt, 1 run, nudges the full delivery on leg stump to deep midwicket, looking for two, specifically looking for two, she played the ball so softly. But the throw comes in too quick and they have to settle for a single. Scores are level

Dottin to Wolvaardt, FOUR, slower ball way outside off stump, Wolvaardt really has to reach out for it, and still she has plenty of power on the shot to get it past point.

Dottin to Wolvaardt, 2 runs, short-arm pulls the back of a length ball outside off to deep midwicket. They go for the two because Wolvaardt has to be on strike. Two is not on. Graham could have been out, if only Dottin collects the throw from Cross to break the stumps at the non-striker's end.

Dottin to Graham, (no ball) 1 run, yorker on leg stump, works it to long-on. Oops, it's a no-ball! and Wolvaardt will be facing a free hit with only 9 runs needed to get
Deandra Dottin set this total up with the bat. Now she's gonna defend it with the ball. Superchargers need 11 off 5

Cross to Wolvaardt, 1 bye, lovely yorker. This time it's outside off. Wolvaardt tries to get underneath and carve it square on the off side but only mis-hits it to short third
