That's it from the Women's Hundred second game. For Sudeep Poojar and Ranjith P, I'm Rvel Zahid. Goodnight!

Laura Wolvaardt, Match Hero: (feel) very good, nice to chase a big score, will be really good for our group. Wasn't the easiest game, didn't get the start that I ideally would have wanted. I knew we still had a lot of firepower in our line up so just wanted to take it easy. She (Jones) was amazing, she has been whacking them every single game so far, really strong down the ground, pretty proud of how she batted and she played to her strengths

A batting masterclass from Laura Wolvaardt kept Brave at bay. It was an emphatic batting display and the match never slipped away while she was out there. Brave remain winless, while Originals bag back-to-back wins. Earlier, Brave got off to a flying start when Danni Wyatt launched a brutal assault on the bowlers with a quickfire 61-run knock, but nobody else could match her strike rate and the innings slowed down towards the end, perhaps ending with 20 fewer runs than expected given their fiery start. Lauren Filer was spectacular as usual, conceding just 0.95 RPO, while Sophie Ecclestone prevented a big finish by bowling at crucial stages, picking up two wickets and leaking only 0.86 RPO - proved to be a game-changing spell. In reply, Wolvaardt got set and put a hefty price on her wicket, blasting away when needed, keeping the asking rate in check, and playing some delightful strokes during her innings. There was a hiccup towards the end when Originals lost a few wickets in clumps but Wolvaardt remained resolute at the other end. She received able support from Eve Jones, who raced to 39 off 27 balls, and Wolvaardt sealed the game with two beautiful boundaries down the ground in the last over and hit the first ball of last set past extra cover, preventing any drama and didn't stutter at all in her sublime knock

Cheatle to Wolvaardt, FOUR, Bang! Finishes the game in style with another four down the ground. Length ball at off, gets behind and spanks it up and over mid-off for four, impeccably orchestrated knock, an unblemished innings, she is a treat to watch when on song!

Cheatle to Wolvaardt, FOUR, On a length and angled it straight at stumps, gets behind and pulverises it over the bowler's head for a four, superb shot, margin of error is minimal against Wolvaardt, scores are level

Cheatle to Wolvaardt, FOUR, Charges in, round the wicket, fuller and offers width, that's a cardinal sin at this stage, a loosener and she says thank you very much, gets down low and creams it over extra cover for four, not the best of the starts and she knows she erred

Brave making it a habit to take games in the last over, Cheatle will ball the last five deliveries.

Kemp to Morris, OUT, Oh dear! Round the wicket, short of a length, came back in a shade from wide of off, tapped away to cover and that's dozy attempt to slide her bat in, needless run-out which will bring more pressure on Originals. Morris was short of her crease, not expecting a direct-hit and she didn't make her ground, fielder came in quickly and hit's the bull's eye.
