That's all from our side for this game. See you soon.
Lizelle Lee: I think the games we lost in the beginning were by small margins. Today was a beautiful day. The bowlers did well and then batters backed them up. It's an amazing tournament, it went better than expected. The crowd was amazing, the vibe was amazing. I didn't have any plan. It was one of those games that just went my way. It doesn't matter that we are not in the tournament anymore, we are going to give out best.
Kate Cross is the Player of the Match. "I just felt good," she says. "I have felt good for a while now. Cricket is confidence game, isn't it? Today, I thought we bowled well. Laura batted really well, she didn't take much risk. I thought then Lizelle batted was incredible to watch."
5.50pm A thumping win for Originals, they beat Superchargers by eight wickets with 14 balls to spare. It was a Lizelle Lee show right from the start. The South Africa batter smashed 68 off just 40 balls with the help of 13 fours and a six. After she departed, Mignon du Preez and Cordelia Griffith then applied the finishing touches to take Originals over the line. Laura Wolvaardt's unbeaten 75 off 51 goes in vain.
