- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.2 Springs down the track and miscues the skier, gobbled calmly by the fielder at long-off and a much-needed wicket for Phoenix. Captain dismissed, she attacked and tried to go big downtown, didn't find the sweet spot 92/27.5 Goes full and it slants in at middle, she decides to take the aerial route and hasn't got all of it, finds the fielder sprinting in and she takes a gem, diving forward to pocket a low catch, superb knock nevertheless, provided the brisk start and set the platform for the middle-order 76/119.3 over the wicket, tries a bumper around the line off and it works to perfection! She tries to go along her merry way, goes for the pull and finds the fielder at deep square, Baker didn't have to move much to catch that, brilliant contribution, gave the impetus 170/413.4 Marvelously caught by the fielder at backward square, sprinted to her right and took a stunning running catch as Kapp tried to pull it behind square on leg and didn't find the timing and middle of the bat to clear the infield, another vital scalp 113/319.4 Another short ball works like a charm, she has found the recipe for success, tries to get on top of it and only manages to loft it towards mid-on, fielder sprinted in to pouch that at mid-on, just one delivery left and she is on a hattrick 170/5Extras11 (b 1, nb 4, w 6)TOTAL174/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.7 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-76 (Meg Lanning, 7.5 ov), 2-92 (Lauren Winfield-Hill, 10.2 ov), 3-113 (Marizanne Kapp, 13.4 ov), 4-170 (Alice Capsey, 19.3 ov), 5-170 (Amanda-Jade Wellington, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.2 banged in short around the line middle and leg, a casual pull to short fine, at 45, and taken down her throat, soft dismissal and she cannot believe what she has done, walks off crestfallen and was on fire until this error. Big celebration, they know the value of this wicket 25/111.4 tossed fuller on the pads, worked away to midwicket, direct-hit at non-striker's end and she didn't stretch herself fully and didn't anticipate such a rocket-arm throw, late response and she is short of her crease 83/44.4 Tossed up fuller and gets a hint of turn from wide of off, she chases it and plinks it out to mid-off who takes a wonderful catch charging to her right and made the ground quickly to take a fabulous catch, stupendously done 31/210.3 Wellington has the last laugh and a big roar of celebration tells the story, huge breakthrough! Brave enough to give it even more air and gets it to spin across off, she went back for a cut and finds a faint edge to the keeper, Lauren is absolutely ecstatic after taking a sharp catch, punches the air in elation, hugs and high fives, bossing the game now 80/318.2 slower in-dipping full-length ball chasing her outside leg-stump, slapped on the up and finds the fielder at cover, grabs really well and a shake of heard and trudges off, too much left to do in the end, valiant innings, tried her heart out 138/519.3 charging in, cagey stuff as she lands it on length just outside off, taken in the deep at cover 144/6Extras8 (b 4, lb 2, w 2)TOTAL152/6 (20 Overs, RR: 7.6 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-25 (Georgia Voll, 3.2 ov), 2-31 (Marie Kelly, 4.4 ov), 3-80 (Ellyse Perry, 10.3 ov), 4-83 (Emma Lamb, 11.4 ov), 5-138 (Amy Jones, 18.2 ov), 6-144 (Em Arlott, 19.3 ov)
