That's all from our side from this game. See you soon.
Elyse Villani is the Match Hero: Our bowlers with the wickets in the powerplay set it up for us. We had a couple of great partnerships, which always helps. We were focusing on winning the game first, we wanted to play positive and then focus on what we needed to do mathematically. Mignon is a great player but it's a fickle game. We always backed her 100% because she a clean striker and fantastic batter. I was happy to step in for Nat as I have done this a lot back home. We made things hard for ourselves but we still have a mathematical chance.
5.46pm A comfortable win in the end for Rockets, who are now third on the points table with six points and a net run rate of 0.101. Now they wait and hope. Today's win was set up by the bowlers, who restricted Fire to 100. Villani then led the chase with an unbeaten on 55 off 40. Du Preez played a good hand too towards the end, hitting 32* off just 20 balls to wrap it up with 18 balls to go.
