2.03pm Northern Superchargers have fallen out of the race for the playoffs, but they end their season with an impressive win. This, by the way, is Southern Brave's first defeat this season. Brave, though, could still top the table and head straight to the final if Oval Invincibles lose to Manchester Originals later in the day. That is all we have for you from this game. Do also join us for the Invincibles-Originals coverage. Cheers
Laura Wolvaardt is the Match Hero: It was lots of fun. I think we need to restrict them to less to qualify, bitter-sweet. I thought the girls played and fielded exceptionally well. We didn't have the ideal start, but we looked to hit it as deep as we could. Jenny hit some bombs later. It has been a long way on the road, excited to go back home, but I will miss my team-mates here
Shrubsole, Brave skipper: Really frustrated and we had it in control to go straight through to the finals. I will keep an eye on the other game and we have lost the right to be in control of things. Next few hours, I will be a massive Manchester Originals fan. I often say it's not a bad thing to lose, but it will sharpen our focus. I don't think it was complacency; we were just outplayed. We have to sharpen our focus and switch on again. I don't think you can win many chances when you are 20 odd for 3 and we gave away some extras to them. When three of our best batters are in the shed, you are not going to win too many games. It's amazing; Wellington is a great legspinner. We have Sarah Glenn, but don't think we have anyone like Wellington with her revs in our country.
