Full commentary
5.30 pm The visitors looked like they were out of it at one stage during Hartley's spell but Deepti Sharma breathes life back into the contest in the latter stages to get the Spirit over the line. It means the Originals remain anchored to the bottom of the table. Meanwhile the Spirit stay in the playoff hunt on six points, now just one point out of second place where there's a three-way tie among three sides on seven points.
Today's Match Hero is Deepti Sharma: "I believe on me, on my team. We did chase really well this target. I finished this total and I was thinking yes I can do it for my team."
That does it for the coverage of the early match. Flip over to the men's match feed for coverage of the evening half of today's doubleheader. Take care!

Cross to Sharma, 2 runs
Deepti charges and heaves to long-on for what could be a catch. The fielder decides to hang on the rope rather than emulate du Preez and fields on a bounce instead of going for a possible catch, but botches the collection and turns it into two runs.

Around the wicket now for Cross.

Cross to Sharma, FOUR runs
short on the legs, pulls this toward deep backward square. Du Preez goes all out laying herself out trying to pull off a wicket in desperation but she can't reach this and it bounces past her for four. That may be the match now...
