- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.1 sliced and taken! Given a bit of air on a length outside off stump. Dunkley looks to go inside out but is beaten in the flight. She is not to the pitch of the ball and that, coupled with the slight turn away, means that she slices it badly towards short third man, where Sarvani does the rest! The Warriorz are right back into this contest! 45/24.1 knocks her over! Length delivery slanted into middle and leg stump from around the wicket. Wolvaardt is caught on the crease and is slightly late on the stroke as the ball skids through. The ball goes past the bat and then crashes into the stumps! Just what the Warriorz needed at this stage! Wolvaardt can't quite believe what has happened but will have to make the long walk back! 41/15.6 another soft dismissal! Gayakwad has two! Given a bit of air on a length just outside off stump. Harleen looks at the flight and hares down the track, trying to go over extra cover. But much like Dunkley, she gets nowhere close to the pitch of the ball and ends up slicing it towards cover point. Simran, who misfielded earlier in the over, gobbles up this chance! 50/316.1 holes out to long on! Parshavi gets Hemalatha! Flighted on a full length outside off stump. Hemalatha charges down the track and swings at it. For a change, though, she toe-ends it and McGrath does the rest at long on. Brave bowling by the youngster and she finally has something to show for her toil. Take nothing away from this innings, though. This has given the Giants a realistic chance of posting a 180-plus score for the second successive game! 143/418.1 Parshavi gets Gardner! Oh my word! What a moment for the youngster! Flighted deliciously on a length just outside off stump. Gardner's eyes light up and she advances, looking to tonk it into next week. She gets nowhere close to the pitch of the ball, though, and misses it completely. Healy gathers cleanly and does the rest! Brave call to give Parshavi the penultimate over and she has already repaid that faith! 166/519.4 huge appeal, and given! Yorker darted into off stump. Ashwani has a massive swing at it but can't get her bat down in time. The ball breezes past the bat and thumps into the boot. The umpire raises his finger and Ashwani does not even bother with the review! 177/6Extras3 (lb 2, w 1)TOTAL178/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.9)Fall of wickets: 1-41 (Laura Wolvaardt, 4.1 ov), 2-45 (Sophia Dunkley, 5.1 ov), 3-50 (Harleen Deol, 5.6 ov), 4-143 (Dayalan Hemalatha, 16.1 ov), 5-166 (Ashleigh Gardner, 18.1 ov), 6-177 (Ashwani Kumari, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.5 stumped by a mile! And given out caught-behind too! The good'ol double-play! Length delivery just outside off stump that goes through with the arm. Devika hares down the track aimlessly and then looks to flick it away. Because she is not to the pitch of the ball, she can't get any purchase and ends up feathering it through to the keeper, who also whips off the bails, just to be sure! 39/31.5 taken at deep square leg! Back of a length delivery on middle and leg stump that holds in the surface and bounces a tad extra. Healy is slightly early into her short-arm pull and gets a bit of a top edge that arrows towards deep square leg. Harleen does the rest and Monica is over the moon! Massive moment in the game! 14/12.4 soft dismissal! Banged into the track outside off stump. Navgire looks to pull it away but the ball gets big on her. She can't get on top of the bounce and gets a tame top edge that lobs towards mid wicket. The Giants have two wickets in the powerplay, and the Warriorz are in an early spot of bother! 19/213.4 holes out to long off! Gardner does the trick! Tossed up on a length outside off stump. McGrath comes out of her bunker and looks to go over long off. On this occasion, though, she is not really to the pitch of the ball and can neither generate the elevation nor the power. Arrows it straight down long off's throat, and the Giants might have a lifeline here! 117/418.5 and it does the trick! Harris departs! Full and slanted across on off stump. Harris looks to hammer it into next week but gets this one wrong slightly. She swings too early and chalks it straight down long on's throat! There is still some life left in this game! 172/614.6 Deepti bites the dust! Tossed up on a full length on middle and off stump. With mid on up in the circle, Deepti thinks she can just pop it over the fielder and pick up four. Unlike the last ball, she is deceived in the air and has to reach out for it a shade. The ball clinks off the bottom part of the bat and Gardner does the rest at mid on! 130/519.4 low full toss outside off stump. Ecclestone advances and clinks it down the ground. Simran is stretching every muscle to get back for the second but has she made it? We go upstairs to find out! Looks like she has not made her ground! Simran has to go, but Ecclestone remains on strike! 177/7Extras3 (w 3)TOTAL181/7 (19.5 Overs, RR: 9.12)Fall of wickets: 1-14 (Alyssa Healy, 1.5 ov), 2-19 (Kiran Navgire, 2.4 ov), 3-39 (Devika Vaidya, 4.5 ov), 4-117 (Tahlia McGrath, 13.4 ov), 5-130 (Deepti Sharma, 14.6 ov), 6-172 (Grace Harris, 18.5 ov), 7-177 (Simran Shaikh, 19.4 ov)
