    0.4 standing outside the popping crease, length and slanted on middle, she gets down low for a slog sweep and finds deep backward square to perfection, looked like a good shot but just enough power behind to clear the fence and didn't find the gap, looks very crestfallen as she walks slowly back towards the pavilion, goes without any score and credit to Mahika for keeping it nice and tight, and not giving anything away, inducing an error 0/1
    4.4 zips it quick and full on leg, just a soft dismissal, casual flick of a wrists and finds Dottin at short midwicket and she takes a gem, pocketing it low, swooping low to her right, incredible sharp reflexes 15/2

    5.2 dug in short and it hung away outside off, tries to tonk it over midwicket but couldn't lift it much and finds short midwicket to perfection, Amy Jones departs without making a substantial impact. Not much conviction behind the shot, just a feeble push, not quite rolling her wrists and going full throttle, Phoenix in a real spot of bother, excellent field placement, Mahika makes it look so easy, height helps her too 17/3

    1.3 short of a length on an irksome off-stump line, no pace to work with and she tried to club it over mid-on but finds short mid who runs towards mid-off to take a brilliant running catch, Originals in a spot of bother, two big pillars broken inside the powerplay 5/2
    0.3 touch short and moving across off, tapped to point, tried to get a scampered single, poor call and she puts non-striker in trouble, single was never on, absolutely needless. Bryce has to go 0/1
    4.1 around the wicket, floated up fuller on off, she quickly goes down on one knee and tries to pound it over long on and midwicket region, top-edge scoots up and taken at mid-on. Originals shooting themselves in the foot and have been reckless while trying to go after this chase in a kind of arrogant way 14/4
    3.4 nothing shot in the end as she looked befuddled while playing that one, bat goes up in the air along with the ball, tried to hoist that over mid-on and gets a leading edge that goes straight into the hands of the fielder at mid-off. Alice has to go, Perry took a nifty catch and wickets continue to tumble, looks like we might have a thriller 14/3
    18.1 bit of anti-climatic end to the innings, shorter in length, a leg cutter outside off, she shuffles across for a ramp and finds the fielder at short fine, strategically for this shot 86/8
    9.1 over the wicket, quicker and fuller legbreak on middle and off, plants front leg and goes big downtown, hung in the air for a little while and snaffled well by Lister. That was launched straight into the hands of Lister at long-off who was inches inside the boundary rope, she was putting the chase back on track, such an untimely wicket 31/5
    13.4 just when they were trying to put some pressure a horrible mix up results in an another run out, jabbed into the covers and a direct at striker's end and Fi Morris was struggling big time, no chance to get back, Perry with a sharp throw, hits the bull's eye! 54/6
    14.4 stood deep in the crease and works it to midwicket, dicey call for a run, throw at non-striker's end. Ecclestone seems like she in trouble, on-field umpire takes his time before raising the finger. Didn't really sprint and put in a dive, bat is short of the line, MO gifts another wicket 58/7

    18.2 very good catch by the keeper! another short of a length leg-cutter and she has no clue what to do about it, feebly flings the bat out and faint outside edge is drawn 86/9
    19.5 takes the aerial route on this fuller ball at middle and she muscles it to deep midwicket, Mahika is well short of the crease while trying to push for the second and Birmingham Phoenix register a thumping win towards the end of their campaign, defended the total clinically! 95/10
