1:50pm That will be all from us for this game. But lots of Hundred action is lined up today, both in the men's and the women's competitions. The men's game can be followed here, while the women's match can be found here. Do join us for both of those contests, and until next time, from Raghav, Sudeep and myself (Shashwat), this is goodbye!

Sophie Devine, Player of the Match: Really pleased (about the result). She (Wyatt-Hodge) was outstanding. The way she set up the game, it was trickier than she made it look. Great game for us and nice to do it in front of the home crowd. Always nice to perform against teams you have previously played for. Every game is on the line (in the comp) and you have to be good. We have to keep sharp and keep learning. Have not played a lot of cricket over the last few months, was probably swinging like a rusty gate. Have played enough cricket to know that it (the rhythm) will come (back). When you have someone like her (Wyatt-Hodge), it makes easier. If I can contribute in any way, that is what I am here for.

1:42pm The Southern Brave will be pleased with that effort. It felt that they left a few runs out there, but they returned with vigour with the ball, rocking the Phoenix early, which included the wickets of Lamb and Voll, both of whom had done well in the Phoenix's first game. Perry and Jones then performed a rear-guard action, with Kalis taking over post Jones' dismissal, and that left the Phoenix with 45 to get off 30 balls. Perry, though, perished soon after, and despite Kalis' clean ball-striking, they could not muster enough to have a real tilt at the score.

A lot of that was down to the Southern Brave's bowling. Corteen-Coleman was brilliant, as was Devine, especially towards the end. Bell also regained her composure after a ten-run first set and all of those factors, which led to constant wicket-taking more or less, has now given the Brave their second win in as many games.

Bell to Baker, OUT, stumps go splat again, and Bell, the leading wicket-taker in the Women's Hundred, finishes off the job in style! This is another change-up, bowled into the track on middle and off. The ball just does not arrive and Taylor plays several strokes in her head before failing with her actual attempt. Middle and off stump rattled, and the Brave have more wins in two games this year than they did in the entirety of last season!

Bell to Baker, no run, length ball wide outside off. Baker goes chasing after it and only swishes at thin air

Baker is the last batter in

Bell to Kalis, OUT, pops it straight up, and taken at short fine leg! Kalis falls and with that, the chase probably does too! Off-pace on a full length outside off. Kalis shimmies across, trying the lap again. And even though she makes contact this time, the contact is not enough. No pace to work with and Corteen-Coleman snares the chance to extinguish the Phoenix's hopes!

SL Kalis c Corteen-Coleman b Bell 44 (36m 34b 7x4 0x6) SR: 129.41

Over to Kalis. Four boundaries would do it, but that is easier said than done...

Bell to Taylor, 1 run, excellent yorker, tailing back into off stump. Might have been a slower ball too. Taylor digs it out to the bowler's left and gets called through for the single

Bell to close out the game for the Brave. She has plenty of runs in the bank. Taylor on strike

END OF OVER:
19 | 5 Runs 1 Wkt | BP-W: 123/8 (17 runs required from 5 balls, RR: 6.47, RRR: 17.00)

Devine to Kalis, 1 run, length on middle and leg. Kalis advances and heaves it towards long on. They take the single, which means Kalis is now off strike with Phoenix needing 17 off 5

Devine to Kalis, no run, zipped in full and wide, and Kalis admonishes herself after missing the scoop. That is the second time she has tried it, and the second time she has failed to pull it off
