5.10pm And that is all from our coverage of this game. We'll be back shortly for the final group game from the Men's edition. See you there.
Gibson:We knew that if we put them in, it would make it a bit easier. We put in a good bowling performance, couldn't quite do it with the bat. Just don't think everything clicked in every game. The crowds we've got at Lord's are fantastic. Such a great tournament, can't wait for next year. I just think all our support staff have really supported us. They've all been really well.

5.03pm They've won with 42 balls to spare. A pretty good chase, and something to be proud of, even if they couldn't get there 17 balls earlier for qualification. Danielle Gibson in particular can be proud of this effort - 34 off 19 for her, unbeaten. If anything, it's a blueprint for next season. This kind of approach in chase will elevate the tournament even further. For Welsh Fire, a disappointing tournament ends in a massive loss. They finish last in the table. Spirit finish fourth, missing out on the eliminator on net run rate.
