2:10pm That will be all from us for this game. The action in the Hundred does not stop, though, and there are a whole host of games lined up for the rest of the day, and you can catch up with every moment here at ESPNcricinfo. Until next time, this is goodbye from me, Raghav and Vairavan. Take care, folks!
Paige Scholfied is the Meerkat Match Hero: (On finishing off the chase clinically) That is what we are here to do. Really enjoyed it. We had a couple of tough days, so hopefully this will get the girls buzzing again. You learn more from losing than winning. We focused on building partnerships with the bat. It was a decent score but chaseable on this pitch. It was a fresh deck, you got value for your shots. Ecclestone is obviously a world-class bowler. We (Kapp and me) spoke about nudging her (Ecclestone) around and get the rotation going, and then going after the rest of the bowlers. (On her form and if it puts her into the national reckoning) I guess so but I am just focused on this competition and doing my job here. What will come will come.
2:05pm That turned into a fairly routine run-chase, and that was all down to the partnership between Kapp and Scholfield. Kapp, for a change, was overshadowed, with Scholfield scoring around the dial and posing several questions. She struck the ball beautifully and the Originals, after a point, ran out of answers. Prior to that, there was a decent opening partnership, even if Athapaththu was scratchy during her stay. Winfield-Hill struck a few boundaries and that may be a good sign for the Invincibles moving forward.
A bad day at the office for the Originals, who have now lost two on the bounce. They did not have enough on the board, it seemed at the half-way stage and that was vindicated towards the end of the game. Ecclestone was not as incisive as usual either, and their failure to pick up wickets throughout the innings cost them, especially against a powerful batting unit. Back to the drawing board for the Originals, ahead of their next fixture on Friday.
Bryce to bowl. Invincibles need 9 off 10. They will want to finish this as soon as possible
