that will be that! A neat flick off the pads, and the Southern Brave coast to a six-wicket win! This was a low full toss and Wolvaardt, having spent so much time at the crease, gleefully tucks it past mid wicket and ices this run-chase!

Tap to rate now!
5:38pm That will be all from us for this game. In a few minutes from now, the Manchester Originals will be hosting the Southern Brave in the Men's Hundred, and you can follow all the action from that contest here. Until next time, from Sudeep, Vairavan and myself, Shashwat, this is goodbye!
5:31pm A comfortable run-chase for the Southern Brave, even though they did lose Bouchier rather early. Wyatt-Hodge and Wolvaardt, though, ensured there would be no further major hiccups. While the former popped up with a 27-ball 32, the latter finished unbeaten and also hit the winning runs.
Plenty to ponder for the hosts, though. They would have wanted to get off to a good start in front of their fans but just did not have enough runs on the board. There were, however, a few positive signs, and they will hope they can build on that when they face the Oval Invincibles on Saturday.
Scores level now

Ecclestone to bowl out
generously tossed up on a full length wide outside off. Tryon gives it the lot but only connects with the fresh Mancunian air
googly on a length just outside off. Grips in the surface and spins back in sharply. Tryon does not pick it and gets pinged on the back thigh. Perhaps too high for an lbw
off the mark in style! Kerr goes searching and bowls a juicy half-volley outside off. Tryon shows the maker's name, gets her hands through the ball and scorches it through cover!
Tryon joins her South Africa teammate
soft, soft dismissal! Given some air on a full length just outside leg. Kemp steps down the track, looking to go downtown but the ball is too full to get under. She chips it straight to Ecclestone at mid off, and with the finish line in sight, Kemp has to trudge off!
