The previous year's champions, in the Northern Superchargers avatar, have made it again, this time as Sunrisers Leeds. Trent Rockets have a chance to clinch their maiden title. Join us on Sunday to find out how that goes. For now, you can check out the Men's Qualifier, where Sunrisers Leeds are in action again. Goodbye from here.

Dani Gibson, Sunrisers Leeds captain: Buzzing to get the win, closer game than I thought. Baker did well and we'll get on Sunday. Our lines were good, they couldn't get boundaries often. Lauz (Winfield-Hill) and Deepti really saved us. We're on a winning streak and them on a losing streak, that worked out. We discussed that but stuck to the cricket we played. Think today's wicket is the most like Lord's we'll get, good prep for Sunday. We'll have to hit the pockets well, not over-hit it; and aim for the stumps with the ball. We'll enjoy tonight, chill tomorrow and back in it Sunday. I've learnt to trust my gut a lot more, better to make a decision than no decision. At the start, I was second-guessing what bowlers to pick, but have learnt how to trust my gut.

Hannah Baker, POTM: 100% nervous in the chase. With the power in our team, thought we could chase that. I spoke to Jono, was told to hit my lengths and that I'll get my reward. Will relax and get ready to go again for the final.

Douglas Kell: "Pretty much exactly as predicted: Excellent Brave bowling performance preceded by a mediocre batting one..."

Vimala: "The SRL girls have absorbed pressure well "

4:50pm: Mark your dates, IT'LL BE SUNRISERS LEEDS vs TRENT ROCKETS in the FINAL at Lord's on Sunday! The game was won in the first innings as Brave's batters could not get going. Despite that, they ran it close. They got Litchfield and Sutherland cheaply, those were the two main wickets. The extras cost them.

Bell to Jonassen, FOUR, SUNRISERS LEEDS ARE THROUGH! They get through with 11 balls to spare but don't let that fool you, Brave made a modest chase super tough with tight bowling. But Jonassen and Deepti close it out. Length ball outside off from around, square driven in the gap in front of point. Jonassen pumps her fists and yells 'come on' before the intensity breaks for a smile and a hug with her partner

Bell to Sharma, 1 run, Bouncer on leg, top-edges a pull while looking away and gets it to fine leg

Bell to Sharma, FOUR, Deepti's blinder now turning into a proper exhibition. Perhaps the most stylish four of the day as she covers off stump, gets a forward stride and larrups the fullish ball, on the rise, over wide midwicket

Ammoo: "85 - Game , Set "

Bell to Sharma, no run, Beats bat first up. Length ball in the channel, Deepti covers off and looks to guide it to third. Misses

Bell, from around, can she conjure up magic?

Glenn to Sharma, FOUR, No getting away this time! Down leg again, sits up again. Deepti gets on one knee and pulls it hard and fine. Too fine for short fine leg. 8 off 15, that should be the door shut on Brave

Glenn to Jonassen, 1 run, Length on leg, flicked off the back foot to deep midwicket

Neha Nelson: "80 - That was a buffet (help yourself) ball ! "

Glenn to Sharma, 1 run, Down leg, lucky for Glenn that went straight to short fine leg! That sat up off a length and Deepti got a got chunk on it as she turned and pulled hard

Malli: "I think you can't technically call it a over. You should have said she couldn't finish her five " Yeah, you're right, that or set

Glenn to Jonassen, 1 run, Length on off, stays back and flicks to deep midwicket

Glenn to Sharma, 1 run, Slow and shortish just outside off, came in with the angled and bounced low! No pace on it at all, so Deepti could get down and swivel in time for a pull to deep-backward square

16 off 20 needed. Glenn on with two lefties in. Around

END OF OVER:
16 | 4 Runs 2 Wkts | SRL-W: 99/5 (16 runs required from 20 balls, RR: 6.18, RRR: 4.00)

Saranya: "Deepti has to see SRL - W through !"

Wong to Jonassen, FOUR, Wong can't close out a potentially game-changing over, Sunrisers keep hold of the advantage thanks to Jonassen capitalising on Wong missing her line. Shortish down leg, helped wide of short fine leg with a pull

Wong to Jonassen, no run, Length around off, driven to cover

Manoj: "Please send Jess ahead of Gibson " if only

Wong to Gibson, OUT, Two in two, Vinod might have been on it! Reviewed, lbw looks close! Length ball on middle, Gibson stayed in front of leg stump - slightly leg side of the ball - so she couldn't cover the line and missed the flick square, on the up, and got hit on the back leg. Hawk-Eye returns umpire's call clipping leg, WONG ON A HAT-TRICK!

Wong to Winfield-Hill, OUT, That's one of the two wickets mentioned! A bit like Litchfield, a shortish ball beats Winfield-Hill's pull and hits the stumps. Winfield-Hill stayed in the crease and made room, got done by the lack of bounce, she expected true bounce, missed the ball and got leg stump rattled.

Wong to Winfield-Hill, no run, Good keeping. Winfield-Hill went across and looked for a fine reverse-sweep, looked to aerial too - bat went from slightly down to up - but the length ball beat her and went to Lee, who was right behind it

Dan: "Use Lauren Bell now and try get some scoreboard pressure back?" Wong for now. Keeper up

END OF OVER:
15 | 11 Runs | SRL-W: 95/3 (20 runs required from 25 balls, RR: 6.33, RRR: 4.00)

  • Deepti Sharma17 (16b)
  • Lauren Winfield-Hill37 (35b)
  • Tilly Corteen-Coleman3.5-0-26-0
  • Sophie Molineux2.5-0-20-0

Vinod Rajpal: "couple of wicktes here and this match will again become even-steven !" Need dots too. Difference between runs needed and balls remaining is now five, so Sunrisers might still be ahead with just wickets

Adhyapakee : "Brave's coffin getting the final nails drilled on it. Below par score , sub standard wicket keeping"

Corteen-Coleman to Winfield-Hill, FOUR, That could be the game. TCC fires it wide and full after Winfield-Hill charged last ball, but this time the batter stays her ground, reaches out and guides the near-yorker in the gap through short third

Corteen-Coleman to Winfield-Hill, FOUR, Have Sunrisers snatched back the advantage in the matter of five balls?! Seem to have as Winfield-Hill dances down and drives the full ball over mid-on. At the stumps, so fully in reach
