    4.2 Oh dear! Not that short on this occasion, harmless middle-stump line, she gets behind it and takes the aerial route, didn't hit the middle and ball balloons up, mid-on takes a few steps to her left and takes a cool and calm catch down her throat, Superchargers off to a terrible start, they need some rebuilding work now and look to charge later 25/3
    0.3 Oh what an incredible jaffa! Perplexed her with a scorching nip-backer that disturbed the furniture, she was standing a bit leg-sidish and tried to work it on the leg side, Armittage puzzled by the sharp inswing and it's a lovely set of deliveries, mixing it up, creating an element of doubt. How often does Perry do that? 1/1
    3.1 Charging in from over the wicket and bowls a loosener on short of a length outside leg-stump, she merrily tries to tickle it away and gets the faintest of the edges and keeper takes a nifty catch moving to her right and pocketing it low, that's a soft dismissal, it was a nothing delivery, two big guns back in the hut inside powerplay, blazing start from Phoenix! 17/2
    11.5 Woho! That's a massive wicket! Slightly shorter and plugs away in the corridor, she was backing away a touch and tried to slam it away but ended up getting a thin under-edge as Amy Jones does the rest. This is a massive moment in the game, just when they got a semblance of control, they've lost the lynchpin 68/4

    16.4 Pressure tells, couldn't just afford to meander along. She went down on one knee and tried to sweep it out of the park but instead found Arlott at deep square who takes a gem, makes it look so easy, she got plenty of power behind it but still enough to clear the rope there, shot was on but maybe troubled by the pace and not perfectly placed 85/5

    12.1 12 runs per set required. Dishes out a full-toss at off, slapped to extra cover, umpire checking if the height on that full-toss is okay, it's a fair delivery and Devine has to go. Birmingham in dire straits as Devine gets dismissed on a rank full-toss, looks crestfallen while taking the long walk back to the hut. 36/5
    1.3 Flings it on a shortish length and it holds its line on off, she wanted to crack a pull and couldn't get the middle, ends up chopping it back onto the stumps, kept a touch low, gets the bottom-edge, that's exactly what Superchargers needed while defending a low total, shot was on but she was undone by the lowness, bit unlucky 5/1
    4.5 Magnificent bowling, good length at middle, she tries to break the shackles, springs down and bashes it back to Smith who has been so tough to hit, her excellent tournament continues. Build up a string of dots and induced an error, massive breakthrough 13/2
    6.2 Fuller outside off, gets under and tries to clear mid-on but she hasn't got all of it, wanted to manufacture a shot down the ground and was looking to break the shackles, ends up giving a bread and butter catch to Sutherland, slow start getting on their nerves and they have lost a few in the process, in-fact this is third, poor start, poorer than Phoenix 14/3
    7.2 Strong appeal for lbw and given straightaway! Lobbed up, stumps-to-stumps line, takes a big stride forward and tries to sweep her away, ball tenderises her front pad and it was a vociferous appeal in unison, umpire didn't have any doubt, review taken and rightly so, desperate situation, well, it's pitching in line, umpire's call on hawk-eye and hitting leg, going from bad to worse. 14/4

    15.3 Clatters the stumps, inverses her stance to try improvisation, ball was quick and fired straight at the stumps, beaten by the pace and couldn't execute the shot, didn't want to die wondering 52/7
    14.3 Hammered in short and veers in at off, pumps it straight to mid-off who ran to her right and took a nifty catch, Cross with neat work in the ring, Wilson departs for six, six wickets down. Another false stroke from Phoenix batter. Not a strong connection 45/6
    16.3 Slower and fuller wide of off, reaches out and that hung in the air for a while, Cross is everywhere today, sprints to her right and plucks it out of thin air, that's a phenomenal catch, she is having a superb day in the field, sprinting, showing her fitness and athleticism, taken a gem. Phoenix continue to capitulate 54/8

    16.4 She is a master of her craft, round the wicket, length ball, angles in, gets it to dip and drift, kept low and beat her wild swing down the ground, middle stump has been disturbed. It's a no show from Phoenix with the bat 54/9
    17.1 Over the wicket, lured her with the bait and she bites it, given plenty of flight and lands it on touch fuller length on middle, tries to smoke that over midwicket and finds Smith who takes a stunner at midwicket while diving backwards, a stellar bowling performance from Superchargers! 54/10
