- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.3 Soft dismissal and Ecclestone has her hands on her mouth. Another tossed up ball, dips as Wolvaardt charges down to go over. The bat turns in her hands and she spoons it to Athapaththu at mid-off. She hangs on and then indicates that she was almost done in by the revs on the ball 61/25.2 Ecclestone gets the breakthrough! Mooney has played an uncharacteristic shot is is out of here. Sees the flight and looks to dance down and loft it over mid-off. But does not get under it and pops a catch to Harris in the circle 40/112.6 A waste of a wicket, and it is all down to the pressure mounting on Deol. Charges down to the tossed up ball on a length. Goes for an almighty heave across the line. She has her head down immediately. Knows she has not connected that, gets a top edge that is swallowed by Sarvani taking a few steps forward from short third. Giants in a bit of a mush again 83/318.3 Direct hit and it is curtains for Litchfield! Superb from Thakor in the field. Gets quickly from cover to her left, collects the ball and nails the direct hit at the striker's end. Hemalatha pushed a tossed up ball on off towards the off side and set off with Litchfield responding. Even a full-stretched dive is not enough 135/518.1 Brilliant catch by Athapaththu running back to her right from short fine leg. Ecclestone fires it through, full on off. Gardner plays the scoop but only skies it. Ecclestone only stares as she walks to celebrate 135/4Extras8 (b 4, lb 4)TOTAL142/5 (20 Overs, RR: 7.1)Fall of wickets: 1-40 (Beth Mooney, 5.2 ov), 2-61 (Laura Wolvaardt, 9.3 ov), 3-83 (Harleen Deol, 12.6 ov), 4-135 (Ashleigh Gardner, 18.1 ov), 5-135 (Phoebe Litchfield, 18.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.2 Knocked her over! Healy is furious with herself and mutters a few words with her bat in front of her face. Full and swinging in from outside off, Healy goes for an ugly swipe across the line and misses. Clean bowled. Giants strike twice early 50/24.3 Kanwar's happy knack of picking up an early wicket continues. Tossed up full and well outside off, inviting the big shot. Navgire is not one to resist. Gets down on a knee and looks to go big but only slices a top edge that is gobbled up by Hemalatha at short third. Navgire falls to spin once more 42/18.5 And Kanwar has the last laugh! End of the Athapaththu blitz on her WPL debut. Quicker and angling in on middle, she gets down to help it over with a slog sweep but finds Wolvaardt stationed at deep backward square leg with perfection 86/310.4 Clean bowled and Meghna roars! She has been trying for the perfect yorker this over. Gets one right finally. On middle and leg at 102.2kph. Sehrawat backs away to go through off side again but misses this time.
