A one-sided result in the end, with Sutherland's all-round show leaving Invincibles discharged. Superchargers' first win of the season has taken them up from No. 8 to No. 5 in the points table. But the action from the Hundred isn't done yet, as the men's teams face-off in about two hours' time. Until then, this is Himanshu signing off on behalf of Ashish, Chandan and Ranjith. Take care!
Invincibles captain Lauren Winfield-Hill: "They looked like getting 160. They just got a bit more out of the surface. They bowled a bit more Test-match seam up. We bowled a little more short at times. You go in confident every game... but the Superchargers have a world-class team. They were just better than us today. Crossy is a difficult one... she's got the away swinger. But the big bonus is the nip-backer. You've got to use the crease and your guard a little bit. The key is to remain consistent."
Anna Sutherland is the Hero of the Match: "Feel like we played pretty good as a group. There was a bit in the wicket. [The ball] went through the gate, I guess. Few individual reflections, but we bowled and fielded exceptionally."
5.16pm No more Invincible(s). Sutherland dominates with both bat and ball, as she follows up an unbeaten 63 off 40 balls with an incredible 4 for 11, where the ball pinged the stumps one after the other in a brilliant spell. Only three Invincibles batters went into double figures, as Superchargers put in an electrified performance to register their first win this season.
