- BATSMENRB4s6sSR11.1 shouts of catch it and taken at mid on! Full, outside off, and she goes for the big heave over deep midwicket. Slices it, in the air, and Radha fumbles before completing the catch 71/114.5 appeal for stumping, but is her back foot dragged in? Full on off and turnning further away. Mandhana tried to go up and over but missed. And replays suggest that Bhatia has got Mandhana! Her foot is inside the crease but in the air before it came down. Big wicket! 101/217.4 beautiful bowling from Radha. Drops the length, Richa comes down the wicket and it's simply not full. Tries to go inside out, but slices it, and cover takes a simple catch 112/417.2 holes out at long on! Full, outside off, and she comes down the wicket to hit a big one. Doesn't have the distance... 112/319.4 full on middle, and she wants to target long on, but a leading edge gives a simple catch to cover point once again 118/619.1 easy, peasy. Not full enough as she comes down the wicket to slog. Comes off the bat's splice, and caught at cover point 117/519.5 stumped! That's a five for! Full outside off, sharp turn as Goswami looks to slog. No connection, out of the ground. Easy for the keeper 118/719.6 good length, outside off, and punched to cover. They scamper for one as the throw is on the top of the stumps and the bowler whips the bails off. Replays show that she's out, and so Trailblazers finish on 118 118/8Extras5 (b 1, lb 1, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL118/8 (20 Overs, RR: 5.9)Fall of wickets: 1-71 (Deandra Dottin, 11.1 ov), 2-101 (Smriti Mandhana, 14.5 ov), 3-112 (Deepti Sharma, 17.2 ov), 4-112 (Richa Ghosh, 17.4 ov), 5-117 (Sophie Ecclestone, 19.1 ov), 6-118 (Harleen Deol, 19.4 ov), 7-118 (Jhulan Goswami, 19.5 ov), 8-118 (Natthakan Chantham, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1.6 faster ball slinging in, and traps her in front of the stumps. Big appeal for lbw turned down and Ecclestone convinces her captain to review. They're taking the gamble,and it has hit her front leg in front of middle stump. Ball tracking says pitched in line, hitting in line, and crashing into leg stump. Ecclestone strikes! Excellent review 10/18.3 ooh, what a catch! It's Chantam again, and she has helped take a huge wicket for the Trailblazers. Jemimah skips down the wicket, and Deepti just tosses it a bit wide and fuller, in an attempt to stop her from going down the ground. She's opened the face of her blade, and actually struck it really well, aiming to clear Chantam at cover-point. It is going to her left, and she takes off and pouches it with both hands, and lands softly. Superb fielding, and the kind of athleticism that would make any top goalkeeper proud. That's some way to make an impact in a big match! 37/36.5 there's the wicket! Taniya Bhatia looks to use her feet again, and Deepti just adjusts her line and length to outside off, and just a little back of good length. Bhatia is committed to looking for the flick, and ends up playing a rather tame chip to short mid-wicket 30/218.3 that's probably the game for Trailbazers! Kaur again skips down the wicket, and Khatun keeps this on the stumps for once. Perhaps pushed through just a tad quicker, but Kaur had lost all shape in looking to flog this through the on side. She misses, Khatun hits the stumps, and lets out a celebratory roar. Kaur limps off after a game effort, but her fitness made it quite difficult on the night 93/614.4 there's another wicket! Khatun had gone around the wicket to cut off the paddle swewp that Siriwardene was playing. She looks to go for the sweep again, and ends up getting a top edge. Gleefully accepted by Jhulan Goswami at short fine leg, who has to bend forward and pouch this 74/418.2 Kaur skips down the wicket, and gets it to the left of deep square leg. The throw is at the non-striker's end, where Patil puts in the dive, but is about a foot short 93/518.5 another one for Salma Khatun! Tossed up and just holds back the length a bit. Vastrakar looks to go big through the on side, but ends up top-edging this. Ecclestone is on hand at short-mid to collect this 94/7Extras3 (nb 1, w 2)TOTAL102/7 (20 Overs, RR: 5.1)Fall of wickets: 1-10 (Chamari Athapaththu, 1.6 ov), 2-30 (Taniya Bhatia, 6.5 ov), 3-37 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 8.3 ov), 4-74 (Shashikala Siriwardene, 14.4 ov), 5-93 (Anuja Patil, 18.2 ov), 6-93 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 18.3 ov), 7-94 (Pooja Vastrakar, 18.5 ov)
