5:46pm That will be all from us for this game. But the men's match between SRL and MSG is not very far away. Do join us for that as well. Until next time, from all of us here at Cricinfo, it is goodbye!

Smriti Mandhana, Player of the Match: Feels great to win the match. Got a little lucky with the dropped chance, but glad I could do the job for the team. We discussed that the wicket has a bit of hold, and that it is not a typical Headingley wicket. We felt if we played positive cricket and commit (to our shots), we could chase it down. Really disappointed with the (first) run-out - that was my mistake. The time-out was at the right time. We got together, and saw what we could do and how to attack. Happy we could execute. Bryce, she was really cool, with important runs at the end. Anything slow, into the wicket, was difficult. Just holding your line and shape, I got it pretty late in my innings, and just committing to the shot and not playing anything half-heartedly. In franchise cricket, you have to keep your head down and keep going. If you win matches like this, it puts you in a good place.

5:39pm A sensational knock by MSG's high-profile overseas star. Mandhana saw batters around her perish, and she also saw the required run-rate zing up. But she never seemed to lose control of the chase. She found the fence when it was required and when push came to shove towards the end, she found another gear altogether. She was helped by a couple of dropped catches along the way (which SRL will definitely regret) but take nothing away from a world-class innings, and a knock that has just reiterated why Mandhana is one of the best on the planet.

Sutherland to Mandhana, SIX, Mandhana finishes it off in style! What a player, and what a run-chase! Right in the slot on middle and off. Mandhana picks the slower one and goes dead straight. Launched over the bowler's head, and that is a fitting way to finish off what was a one-batter show for most of this innings. Brilliant. Just brilliant!

Just two more needed now. Can Sutherland whip up some magic?

END OF OVER:
19 | 14 Runs | MSG-W: 141/6 (2 runs required from 5 balls, RR: 7.42, RRR: 2.00)

Jonassen to Mandhana, SIX, well, does not matter how many are outside the ring because Mandhana goes massive! On a length on middle and off. Mandhana dances down, holds her shape and creams it over mid off!

SRL have been slapped with an over-rate penalty too. Just three outside the ring now
