clean as a whistle, and the Superchargers take a big stride towards the playoffs! The Invincibles, meanwhile, are eliminated! Right in the slot on middle and leg. Carey gets her front foot out of the way and clobbers this over the bowler's head. A clinical shot to end what was a clinical run-chase, and a clinical performance in general!

1:52pm That will be all from us for this game. Lots of action lined up across both competitions in the Hundred and you can follow all of those games on ESPNcricinfo. Until next time, from Ranjith, Sudeep and myself (Shashwat), this is goodbye!
Alice Davidson-Richards, Player of the Match: (On the nervy end) I was a bit of a wreck to be honest, just pacing around and hoping the girls could get us over the line. Glad to get the win. (On the pitch) Up top, it looked quite hard. With both sets of seamers, it did a little bit. It got a little bit easier (as the innings progressed). (On how she recovered from the setback of her World Cup omission) This is a wonderful group. They wrap themselves around you. This is cricket - you have to turn up the next day, and just happy (with the win).
1:45pm Another strong and dominant showing at home by the Superchargers. Davidson-Richards was the star of their batting show, registering a half-century and breaking the back of the run-chase. Litchfield sparkled while she was at the crease, as did Sutherland and Carey. The most defining aspect, though, was that the Superchargers never lost wickets in clumps, and always built a partnership to ensure there were not many hiccups.
The Invincibles did not have a huge total on the board, and were dealt a tougher hand courtesy the injury to Farrant. Capsey injured her right hand while fielding off her own bowling too, and that may have also impacted the way she bowled towards the end. All of that meant the Invincibles were hanging on, and when the Superchargers turned it up a notch, they could not do much.

four more, and that could be the game! Fired in full just outside off. Carey gets down on the sweep and whacks it to deep mid wicket's right!

DaWolf: "Not sure this is good batting. It opens up the chance of a late collapse despite having plenty of wickets in hand." -- The caution is perhaps down to botching a run-chase recently against the Originals, where they probably went too hard too early...

A discussion happening between the umpires, Winfield-Hill, Capsey and Lanning. Not sure what that is exactly about. Could be around how many balls Capsey can bowl on the trot, given she went off mid-way in one of her previous sets, says Nasser Hussain on broadcast. Discussion is done, back to the cricket. Capsey to bowl. 20 off 15
