- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.2 dragged on! Leg stump goes back. Just back of a length outside off, wasn't that short, Mack goes for the pull and gets a bottom edge 5/114.3 classy stumping by Redmayne! Beautifully bowled by Jonassen. Wolvaardt was feeling the run-rate pressure, she skipped down to a ball that kept drifting in, she played around it trying to whip through midwicket and Redmayne took it beautifully. 95/39.6 the breakthrough! McGrath charges down the pitch, stays leg side of the ball, drives and misses. The ball clips the off bail 71/216.1 Surge brings an error! Patterson holes out to mid-on! Tossed up in the slot, it was there to go over long-on but Patterson completely miscues and presents a catch to Grace Harris backpedaling from mid-on 100/417.3 picks out deep backward square! Short into the hip, Penna loaded up to pull with power but hit it too flat and hit it straight down Sippel's throat on the rope 108/5Extras10 (lb 1, w 9)TOTAL125/5 (20 Overs, RR: 6.25)Fall of wickets: 1-5 (Katie Mack, 1.2 ov), 2-71 (Tahlia McGrath, 9.6 ov), 3-95 (Laura Wolvaardt, 14.3 ov), 4-100 (Bridget Patterson, 16.1 ov), 5-108 (Madeline Penna, 17.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.2 over the wicket, pulls a long hop to deep midwicket! Awful delivery, in truth, but it pays off in a big way. Dragged down very, very short, barely gets up off the surface, Harris can't only pick out the fielder 32/17.2 taken at midwicket! Redmayne comes down the pitch, loses her shape, think it was a googly, bottom hand comes off the bat and McGrath takes it above her head 43/212.1 clean bowled! Clever slower ball! Slower off cutter on middle, du Preez wipes across the line and is beaten completely, it crashes into middle and leg 62/312.2 Harris bowled first ball! McGrath goes full and straight, yorker at leg stump, Harris tries to slap it leg side with a horizontal bat, it sneaks under the bat, brushes the pad and knocks back leg! 62/416.3 holes out to cover! Knott backs away to a slower ball leg cutter that holds in the surface, she miscues trying to loft over cover and it's an easy catch for McGrath on the circle 96/518.1 clean bowled! Off stump knocked back! Very full on off, Jonassen wipes across the line trying to go too square over the leg side, it skids through and crashes into off! 106/619.3 skied straight up! Penna holds on at midwicket! Flighted leg break outside off, Voll tries to slog sweep, she skies it straight up, Penna sits under it for an age but just holds on as the crowd goes ballistic! 115/719.5 holes out to long-off! Two metres short of the win! Tossed up again, she swung hard and sliced it high to long-off, Barsby right on the rope right hangs on well. It only had to carry two more metres! 121/8Extras7 (lb 4, w 3)TOTAL122/8 (20 Overs, RR: 6.1)Did not bat: CG SippelFall of wickets: 1-32 (Grace Harris, 5.2 ov), 2-43 (Georgia Redmayne, 7.2 ov), 3-62 (Mignon du Preez, 12.1 ov), 4-62 (Laura Harris, 12.2 ov), 5-96 (Charli Knott, 16.3 ov), 6-106 (Jess Jonassen, 18.1 ov), 7-115 (Georgia Voll, 19.3 ov), 8-121 (Mikayla Hinkley, 19.5 ov)
