5.30pm That is that. Oval Invincibles head straight to Lord's for the final. Trent Rockets will compete with Southern Brave in the Eliminator at the Ageas Bowl. Invincibles' victory was set up by Suzie Bates (79*) and Marizanne Kapp (36). In pursuit of 164, Originals kept wobbling around Lee and eventually lost by 32 runs. Thanks for tuning in. Until next time, goodbye and take care.
Suzie Bates is the Match Hero: It was an important game and once Brave lost we know it was a very important game. It was a gut feel and we wanted to bat. We were sloppy in the field but hopefully we will fix that in the game. Yes, I sort of felt with my shoulder injury and Covid, I realised how much I missed the game. I just don't want to give up soon. When I started, there wasn't much crowds and I just love playing for new teams. The best thing is about winning is going straight to the final and not make the trip to the Eliminator. Whoever we play on Saturday, it is going to be tough
Capsey: I mean it's nice not to play the Eliminator. It's a great feeling and nice to get a dominant win today. I think one of the takebacks from last year was we did struggle with the top order, but Lauren and Suzie have made it easy this time. They've been absolutely brilliant. At the moment, my mind is clear and I have the backing of the management. I'm in pretty good form and just taking the positive option and putting the pressure on the bowlers and not just thinking about my wicket. I think the Hundred last year set me up for international cricket and this year I have fed from the crowd's energy and I'm enjoying it. The conditions played nicely. The hard length was the hardest ball to hit and it was just about finding the length and bowling our best ball really. It would mean everything [to win the final] and we have a slightly different squad; predominantly it's the same though and it would mean a lot for us.
