Thank you all for your company. Hope you enjoyed this exciting game. On behalf of Ranjith and Raghav, this is Sreshth saying adios!

Wyatt is the POTM: "Didn't think the pitch would be that slow. Matter of hanging in there. Credit to the bowlers, Anya fantastic at the end. (Opening partnership) I don't know, we don't really speak a lot! She's really calm. (Target) We thought 120 or 130 would be a good score. Bowlers finished the job. (Held their nerve, crowd support?) Atmosphere was amazing in the end. They're like our 12th man. (Fielding unit) We said before the game that fielding will play a big important role. It showed today. Bouchier has been exceptional too."

5.37pm Delight for the home fans as Southern Brave are 99% assured of playoff qualification. They are just one point away from being assured of that spot. Hard luck to Birmingham Phoenix, who had the momentum with the bat while Amy Jones was around. They now lose their fifth in a row this season.
