- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 What a blazing start from Welsh Fire! Sounds the death rattle with a corker on a hard length and wobbles around off-stump, a casual waft and the ball kept low which made it difficult for her to get behind the ball, chopped on and Ismail is absolutely ecstatic! 0/15.3 full and dipping on middle and leg, prolonged appeal for an lbw and the umpire, after long deliberation, raises the finger. Fire get the massive breakthrough, late on the sweep and befuddled by the fuller one 45/212.3 dug in short on fifth stump line, casual shank back to Ismail while leaning forward, indicating it might have stuck in the surface and she looks flabbergasted but has to go 92/314.4 fuller and wide of off, miscues the skier as she attempted to go big downtown, taken by the keeper, the simplest of the catches 109/417.4 longway down the track in a bid to pump it over leg-side, she cleverly drags her length back and the ball turns away, keeper removes the bails quickly as she tries to slide her bat back, very close, third umpire gives it out, excellent attacking knock, amazing stumping as the ball was quite far from her 136/5Extras0TOTAL150/5 (20 Overs, RR: 7.5 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Lauren Winfield-Hill, 0.1 ov), 2-45 (Meg Lanning, 5.3 ov), 3-92 (Alice Capsey, 12.3 ov), 4-109 (Paige Scholfield, 14.4 ov), 5-136 (Amanda-Jade Wellington, 17.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR14.1 around the wicket, tossed up full on middle, taken at long-off, she gets behind the line and takes a step down the pitch, fielder dived in front and completes a terrific low catch, excellent knock comes to an end but still plenty of work left, needed support from other end 90/64.4 tossed full on off, down on one knee and heaved straight to deep square and she stands there shellshocked that she found the lone fielder who didn't have to move a muscle to gobble that up. This is crucial breakthrough, nothing was going in favor of Fire; they have got an opening now 36/18.2 oh my goodness, hits her on the right thigh as she tries to plonk a pull, looks pretty adjacent as she went down a little, lowering her stature. Looks high on the replay as it has been sent upstairs for a second opinion. Well, it is hitting fully on the middle-stump so it turns out to be. stellar review, Kapp is all smiles now 58/28.3 PEARLEROver the wicket, Kapp is on absolute fire! My word, that is fantastic fast bowling display. Troubling, awkward length and it nipped back through the gate and disturbed the furniture. She is on a hattrick! 58/310.2 around the wicket, back of a length wide of off, nonchalantly slapped to wide mid-off, swoops to his right and pouches a sharp catch, bit of a wobble with a quick loss of wickets 67/412.2 around the wicket, touch shorter and in the channel, throws her bat at it and finds the fielder at short third, Fire staring into the abyss 78/518.3 looped up on a length and strangles her with the slowness of the delivery, knowing the fact that she was looking to go big and shaping up for an ambitious slog sweep and she is early through the shot, sees the middle-peg shaken with bails flying everywhere, Capsey has a big broad smile on her face. Terrific all around show 109/817.3 touch fuller and dipping on middle, clipped towards midwicket, mere formalities left, eh? 103/719.1 over the wicket, fuller and skidding on just outside off, prances down the track and she couldn't clear the 30-yard circle, finds the fielder at short cover who reverse cups, fire is almost extinguished 111/919.2 Not sure if that carry, they are celebrating! Fielder plucks a one-handed stunner at point, ball was dipping at her outside off and she slashes it straight to short cover who came charging in and Lanning takes a nifty catch, made sure it doesn't burst out, fingertips underneath and that brings an end to the game. Invincibles continue to go from strength to strength, comfortable win while Welsh Fire couldn't turn up again 111/10Extras6 (lb 2, w 4)TOTAL111 all out (19.2 Overs, RR: 5.72 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-36 (Hayley Matthews, 4.4 ov), 2-58 (Tammy Beaumont, 8.2 ov), 3-58 (Georgia Elwiss, 8.3 ov), 4-67 (Jess Jonassen, 10.2 ov), 5-78 (Sarah Bryce, 12.2 ov), 6-90 (Sophia Dunkley, 14.1 ov), 7-103 (Georgia Davis, 17.3 ov), 8-109 (Katie George, 18.3 ov), 9-111 (Shabnim Ismail, 19.1 ov), 10-111 (Katie Levick, 19.2 ov)
