Not a clinical game, which is often the case, but that made the game more interesting, which also is often the case. These are the first two teams to play their second game, and we have new table-toppers in Southern Brave. The same teams take on each other in the Men's Hundred. You can follow it here. For now, thanks for joining us, goodbye.

Jemimah Rodrigues, POTM: Happy that the team won. Bowlers were outstanding under pressure. Not my most pleasing innings but the team won, that's all that matters. It was a good pitch, some balls held in the pitch, I felt I wasn't timing it well. Just needed to be there and build partnerships. Together, my batting partners helped me. One of the best things about this team is that it's calm. I'm confident we'll keep it the same.

1:55pm: Sun's out after it was cloudy for the most part. Kind of sums up the chase which ended up being much trickier than what it seemed it would be at the start. McCarthy's swing led to early wickets, she castled Lee and Bouchier with lovely inswingers. Wolvarrdt was caught at mid-off. Then Molineux and Rodrigues put on a partnership. There were a few dropped chances which cost Sunrisers dearly. The game was still tight late in the piece but Gibson's radar was off and two boundaries in the first two balls of her final set took the pressure out.

Jonassen to Rodrigues, FOUR, Rodrigues reverse sweeps... and finds the boundary to finish the game! Fullish ball around off, Rodrigues changed her stance and scythed the bat with high hand-speed. It went uppishly, landed fine, too and went to the deep-third fence

Great over from Sutherland but Brave still ahead . Jonassen to close out, around

END OF OVER:

Chef: "Disastrous from Captain Gibson to bowl when she wasn't needed to bowl. They had 5-5-5 each from Sutherland, Deepti and Jonassen. Guess what she went for 16 in 5. "

Sutherland to Dattani, 1 run, Go for everything. Dattani tried to turn it leg side, got it towards cover and Rodrigues charged through. No direct hit

2
Sutherland to Dattani, 2 runs, Is that a run out? Dattani looked like she was slow as the throw came in, but Winfield-Hill, the keeper, had gone left of the stumps and had to reach out to the right to take off the bails. Had to recalibrate after the first push. Enough time to make it back. Length on middle, waits it and helps it behind square leg

Dattani

Sutherland to Grewcock, OUT, Sunrisers stay in it! This looked like a hit-me ball. Full, but off the back of the hand, around off. Grewcock drove through the line with a follow-through, got it off the bottom, mid-off came in and took it fingers pointing up

J Grewcock c Litchfield b Sutherland 13 (20m 11b 2x4 0x6) SR: 118.18

Manoj: "Gibson went plenty, still she want to bowl. They ahd Jess, Sutherland, Deepthi to bowl. "

Sutherland to Rodrigues, 1 run, And Rodrigues makes a lot of room as expected. Sutherland went shortish down leg, Cut on the higher part of the bat to mid-off. Quick single

Sutherland has to have a brilliant over to keep this game alive. Keeper up. Off-side infield packed, so the lines will likely be straight. Time taken for probably sight-screen fixes. Maybe field changes too, five in the ring off-side now
