- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.4 A rush of blood and Wyatt departs! The frustration of not finding the boundaries gets to her. Skips down the track to the legspinner, looking to hoick it away. Misses it completely and the keeper whips off the bails in a flash. 50/22.4 GONE! For once Mandhana falls cheaply. Length outside off, she looks to go up and over again, but does not get the desired elevation. And mid-off takes a good catch. That was hit quite hard. Look at the delight on the faces of the Fire fielders 28/118.1 Loud shout for lbw, not given and Beaumont reviews! Hmm, that looked close on first view. Has she hit it though? There were two noises. Length on middle stump, she gets across looking for a slog sweep misses and is seemingly caught right in front. Ultra-edge confirms there was no bat on that. The ball goes on to thump into leg stump and the umpire has to change her decision. 105/511.2 Big wicket for Fire! Quick on off, skids on as McGrath goes back but is deceived by the pace of it. Misses a straighter one and sees her offstump flattened. 68/312.2 Another one! This is great for Fire. Flighted outside off as Bouchier looks to go straight but is done in by the flight as she drags to midwicket. Beaumont completes a simple chance. 71/419.3 Departs looking for a six! Flighted outside off, she gives herself room skipping down the track but does not reach the pitch of it. Mis-hits it completely with Sutherland, this time coming forward to safely pouch it. 121/619.4 Tossed up on middle and leg, she hacks it to deep midwicket and some odd running sees her run out. Why wouldn't you want Adams on strike? A bit of confusion as Wellington runs back for a second run, and even with the throw quite wide, she wasn't able to make it. Surely, Adams, having spent some time in the middle, should've been the one to take strike. 122/719.5 A bit of a clumsy end to the innings. Pushed through outside off, she skips down the track, runs past and it and is stumped for a golden duck. Brave finish on a just about a par total with the drizzle coming down steadily. 122/8Extras8 (b 1, lb 4, nb 2, w 1)TOTAL122/8 (20 Overs, RR: 6.1 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-28 (Smriti Mandhana, 2.4 ov), 2-50 (Danni Wyatt-Hodge, 7.4 ov), 3-68 (Tahlia McGrath, 11.2 ov), 4-71 (Maia Bouchier, 12.2 ov), 5-105 (Sophia Dunkley, 18.1 ov), 6-121 (Freya Kemp, 19.3 ov), 7-122 (Amanda-Jade Wellington, 19.4 ov), 8-122 (Anya Shrubsole, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.4 leading edge loops up to midwicket! Good length ball on middle, tries to flick through midwicket but Beaumont is through the shot a touch early and this lobs up in the air behind Bouchier, who does very well judging it by turning around and running straight back for the chance rather than trying to backpedal on her heels. Bouchier tracks it and takes a superb over the shoulder catch while lunging to the turf and sticks the landing. 13/18.3 great from Wellington continuing to toss this up and gets an edge to slip! Wellington was not intimidated by the previous shot that went for four. Tosses this up full on fourth stump to encourage another drive and this time gets enough turn to produce an edge that flies quickly to slip at head height. Sharp catch taken. 44/213.2 good length ball on fifth stump, goes back to cut and a thin edge is held by the keeper standing up to the stumps. It was a slower ball legcutter and the slight away movement produced the edge. 67/59.4 good length ball seams in past a back foot flick and clips the top of leg stump! Not much footwork from Wilson and the movement does enough to expose that general lack of footwork to clatter leg stump. 50/310.5 slower ball yorker cleans up Carey! The Aussie tries to keep the hands back long enough to flick this through the leg side but plays over the top of the ball. Middle and off stump are drilled. 59/419.4 full on off, heaved to deep midwicket for one. She wants to keep running a second to keep strike even though mathematically they can't win. Hartley doesn't get the memo and stays put. The relay to the bowler's end catches Bryce short trying to get back and that's all she wrote. A win for Southern Brave. 108/1015.3 full on the stumps, goes for a huge heave and it sounded like an inside edge onto the pads. Huge lbw appeal upheld. But George calls for a review immediately. Replays show no edge. Ball-tracking shows she was hit in line with the stumps and it was smashing them over. 84/615.4 full on fourth stump, flat-footed shovel is skied over mid-off. McGrath backpedals for a simple catch. Shrubsole is on a hat-trick! 84/717.1 Nicholas essentially works herself here into a stumping. Charge down the pitch to a full ball on fifth stump, swings over the top of the ball and the ball skids under her bat. Simple stumping by the keeper. 87/817.2 good length ball skids on and nails Baker in front of middle stump playing back and across the line. Straightforward lbw decision after the appeal is belted out by Adams. 87/9Extras9 (lb 4, w 5)TOTAL108 all out (19.4 Overs, RR: 5.45 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-13 (Tammy Beaumont, 1.4 ov), 2-44 (Hayley Matthews, 8.3 ov), 3-50 (Fran Wilson, 9.4 ov), 4-59 (Nicola Carey, 10.5 ov), 5-67 (Annabel Sutherland, 13.2 ov), 6-84 (Katie George, 15.3 ov), 7-84 (Lauren Filer, 15.4 ov), 8-87 (Claire Nicholas, 17.1 ov), 9-87 (Hannah Baker, 17.2 ov), 10-108 (Sarah Bryce, 19.4 ov)
