That is it from this game. A lot of action going on in The Hundred. You can switch the tabs and enjoy the action between Southern Brave and Northern Superchargers. From here, it is goodbye and cheers!
Shabnim Ismail is the Player of the Match. She says she just tries to do well for the team. Adds she tries to bowl straight lines and the bowling unit bowled well too. Shares the team has been really helpful to her. Reckons she was padded up but the team did it.
Credit to Oval Invincibles Women for showing their fighting spirit. They took wickets at regular intervals and kept the pressure on but in the end, they were short of runs. Marizanne Kapp started the show and in middle, bowled a quick spell to end with four wickets. Welsh Fire Women will be slightly disappointed with how they chase but extremely happy with how they bowled. It was a complete bowling performance from them.
What an entertaining match it turned out to be! Who would have thought Oval Invincibles Women will take it so deep! They fought for each and every run but as expected, they felt short. Another 15-20 runs and they were right in the game. Welsh Fire Women needed just one good partnership to chase it down. It wasn't straightforward but the knocks from Sophia Dunkley and Georgia Elwiss helped Welsh Fire Women to chase this small score.
