finishes it with an imperious six. Another full toss down leg, she nonchalantly swats it over deep square leg to cap a magnificent chase. Brave win 3 out of 3.
5.32 pm: Right, that's all for this game, but don't go too far yet. The men's teams will be facing off soon, and we're bringing you that live too. Toss in about half hour for that game. Follow it here.
Danni Wyatt: Really pleased. Sophia Dunkley came out and played really well, made it easy for me. You have to back yourself. We thought we needed to keep batting, we had plenty of time.
Duncan : "Sorry for this but two wongs don't make a wyatt. "
- I enjoyed that as much as her cover drives, Duncan.
5.27pm: Superb innings by Wyatt, who finishes on 69 off 40. Dunkley got the chase going and Stafanie contributed her bit, while Wyatt was the star. Phoenix had a good score, but Brave have chased it down in just 82 balls. Ridiculously easy, they made it look. Wyatt started slow but never looked flustered, and then unfurled all those inside out beauties to dismantle the Phoenix attack.

pinged on the pads by a ball swinging in. Hopeful appeal but that was going down leg

swept through square leg
moves across again and this time, whips it to long-on

flatter and wider on a length outside off, punched to cover
