holes out to deep mid wicket, and the Invincibles have been consigned to the heaviest-ever defeat in this competition (in terms of runs)! This is angled in, and also chasing the batter outside leg. Gibb advances but has no real room to free her arms. Shovels it straight to deep mid wicket, and the Brave make it five in five, and they do it with an utterly commanding display!

Full commentary
5:35pm That will be all for this game. The men's match should get up and running within the hour, and the hope is that that will be slightly more competitive than this one. Do join us for that contest. Until then, from Vairavan and myself (Shashwat), it is goodbye!
Sophie Devine, Player of the Match: (On winning yet another POTM award) I feel a bit embarrassed because today was a team performance. So many people that should have been standing here instead of me. Today was really exceptional from the group. The great thing about this group is we have spoken about different plans (at length) and for the bowlers to execute that. It does not matter who it is, to execute that against world-class players is a skill that will hold us in good stead (throughout the tournament). Really important to focus on one game at a time. It is a cliché, but it is a cliché because it is true. We know we have some big, tough games coming up. We will reflect and celebrate the success tonight, but we will also look to finish this competition strong.
5:30pm An 89-run win, and it could have been more had Wellington not found the fence a few times towards the end. The Brave were just that dominant, and they have now entered the record books as the team to inflict the heaviest-ever defeat on an opposition. Wellington's unbeaten 18 was the highest score for the Invincibles, with only three others making it to ten. They were thoroughly outplayed, and the only thing that went in their favour was the toss...
Coming back to the Brave, they will be chuffed with this effort. Their batters turned up, and their bowlers then did the rest, almost showing the Invincibles what they had been missing throughout their bowling innings.

nicely done! Slow, short and wide, and Wellington capitalizes. She gets on top of the bounce and steers it between backward point and short third!

Bell to Wellington, no run
slower ball that goes awry and slides down leg. Wellington swings at it and seems to miss it. Or maybe not. May have been a scratch somewhere, because that has not been called a wide

off-pace on a back of a length outside off. Wellington wafts at it and only grabs a handful of fresh air

Bell to Wellington, no run
slower ball on a back of a length on middle and off. Wellington spots it, waits for it and pats it gently into the off side
Gibb, on debut, is the last batter in. She is at the non-striker's end for now, though. And Bell returns to the attack. Bell, remember, is on a hat-trick

Villiers to Smale, OUT
caught in the ring, and the Invincibles are nine down! Floated up a mile outside off, and Smale, somehow, decides she wants to reach this and go inside-out. The ball is so far from her, though, that she cannot generate any power and clinks it off the bottom part of the bat. Adams tracks it from extra cover, back-pedals a few paces and then grabs it neatly over her left shoulder!
