5.10pm And that is all from our coverage of this game. We'll be back shortly for the final group game from the Men's edition. See you there.
Gibson:We knew that if we put them in, it would make it a bit easier. We put in a good bowling performance, couldn't quite do it with the bat. Just don't think everything clicked in every game. The crowds we've got at Lord's are fantastic. Such a great tournament, can't wait for next year. I just think all our support staff have really supported us. They've all been really well.
Danielle Gibson is the Player of the Match.
5.03pm They've won with 42 balls to spare. A pretty good chase, and something to be proud of, even if they couldn't get there 17 balls earlier for qualification. Danielle Gibson in particular can be proud of this effort - 34 off 19 for her, unbeaten. If anything, it's a blueprint for next season. This kind of approach in chase will elevate the tournament even further. For Welsh Fire, a disappointing tournament ends in a massive loss. They finish last in the table. Spirit finish fourth, missing out on the eliminator on net run rate.
