Lee: "You shouldn't be losing a chase of 113 when a batter's faced 47 balls..."

No arguments from here Lee! Harmanpreet may have top-scored but there was no sense of urgency at any point in her innings, both in her strokeplay and in her running between the wickets. She looked like she may be carrying an injury and spent a lengthy period on the field getting treatment for her lower back. If she misses any time for the Originals, that will further dent their chances of progressing in this tournament.

Match Hero is Kirstie Gordon, not just for her bowling but for her superb fielding: "I'm really happy. It was really important for us to get the first win on the board. We were probably a few runs light but we made up with that in how we bowled. It was a really exceptional performance. It was holding up a bit slow. That was the advantage bowling second. We knew the conditions well and played to our strengths. I enjoyed the pressure and the occasion. I'm absolutely loving it and I'm hoping we can go the whole way."

Mixed debate going on about Harmanpreet's innings both on TV and in the comments section entering our feedback. Plenty to chew on ahead of the next match of the doubleheader between the correspondent men's sides. But that's it for this match. For Alan Gardner, I'm Peter Della Penna. Take care!

Elwiss to Kaur, 2 runs, full on middle, backs away to carve a lofted drive over extra cover for an easy two. They opt not to sprint for a third in an effort to get Harmanpreet to a cosmetic half-century. The Phoenix come out on top comfortably in the end.
