12.09pm Well, that was comprehensive. The Blaze's first defeat of the season is the cruellest and most emphatic imaginable. A whopping 34 balls left unused. And once again, Danni Wyatt's crushing half-century set the agenda, alongside Maia Bouchier. Congratulations to the Southern Vipers, back-to-back champions and serial domestic competition winners. Their fifth trophy in eight seasons.
