- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.4 the pressure leads to a wicket! Bouchier goes for a sweep to release some pressure with some runs but Matthews has really slowed that down and she misses it completely 5/110.1 cut straight to backward point! Wyatt-Hodge came down initially then saw the ball delivered without much pace and waited before slicing it straight to Jonassen 53/32.4 Ismail has the last laugh, and that's a sharp catch from Bryce! Ismail banged it in short and Wolvaardt possibly want it to guide it away behind her with no slip in place, but the edge is taken with a one-handed attempt from Bryce 14/211.1 rattles the middle stump! Kemp wants to pull that away to leg but that's not so short and a tad quick, enough to go past the bat 56/414.2 chipped straight to mid-on! The troubles continue for Brave. She took a step down and wanted to clear the fielder but her aerial shot was taken by Beaumont over her head with both hands 74/518.3 goes a long way across to off and she exposes her stumps, and Jonassen rattles the middle stump with a delivery that went straight and past the sweep 100/619.3 Devine loses her stumps too! She had to go for the big shot, there's no time left. Devine makes room and exposes her stumps and Ismail targets the stumps as Devine misses. Loses the middle and leg 104/719.5 pace for the last ball, it's pulled away to deep midwicket and they certainly want a second. The throw from the deep is nice and accurate, Ismail takes the bails off too and catches the batter outside! 106/8Extras3 (lb 1, w 2)TOTAL106/8 (20 Overs, RR: 5.3 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-5 (Maia Bouchier, 1.4 ov), 2-14 (Laura Wolvaardt, 2.4 ov), 3-53 (Danni Wyatt-Hodge, 10.1 ov), 4-56 (Freya Kemp, 11.1 ov), 5-74 (Chloe Tryon, 14.2 ov), 6-100 (Mady Villiers, 18.3 ov), 7-104 (Sophie Devine, 19.3 ov), 8-106 (Rhianna Southby, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.3 there comes the first wicket! Some turn from shorter length, Dunkley comes down and goes across the line, misses it completely and loses her leg stump 26/111.1 the pressure leads to a wicket! The ever-reliable Bell strikes again. Pitches it short, Beaumont pulls it in the air and there are two fielders in the deep there. Villiers takes it easily well inside the rope 50/212.4 Matthews is gone as well, Fire are crumbling now! That's three wickets in nine balls for Brave. Matthews went down on a knee for a big shot, she middled it as well but not quite enough to clear the fielder in the deep. Big wicket this one! 54/411.5 holes out to deep point! That's another wicket for Bell, make it 17 for the tournament. Short and wide, JJ scythes it away in the air and Kemp takes it nicely with her fingers pointing up 52/317.4 a mix up because of the search for desperate runs and it results in a run out! Elwiss drove to cover point where Kemp put in a dive and got both hands on the ball before she fired in a throw to the keeper while Elwiss tried to make her way back 73/613.3 smashes it onto her stumps! Bryce went a long way across to off with an open stance and swats the ball to leg but ends up smashing the ball onto her stumps 56/519.3 another wicket for Bell as Griffiths gets a leading edge while trying to take the aerial route, it goes high on the off side, and Devine settles under it nicely although she might have been looking into the sun 77/818.1 knocks over off stump! Keeps it simple and straight on off stump, Davis swings and misses, and that's seven down for Fire 74/719.5 it's number four for Bell! Magical figures of 4 for 6 and it seals Brave's unbeaten run to the final. Ismail made room again, got a thick edge off the swipe and handed a catch to short third 77/9Extras0TOTAL77/9 (20 Overs, RR: 3.85 per 6 ball)Did not bat: KA LevickFall of wickets: 1-26 (Sophia Dunkley, 4.3 ov), 2-50 (Tammy Beaumont, 11.1 ov), 3-52 (Jess Jonassen, 11.5 ov), 4-54 (Hayley Matthews, 12.4 ov), 5-56 (Sarah Bryce, 13.3 ov), 6-73 (Georgia Elwiss, 17.4 ov), 7-74 (Georgia Davis, 18.1 ov), 8-77 (Alex Griffiths, 19.3 ov), 9-77 (Shabnim Ismail, 19.5 ov)
