That's all from us on ball-by-ball commentary. Thank you for joining us. Hop over to the men's game that's about to start and keep feeding your cricket fix.
Amelia Kerr is the player of the match. She says its pleasing to get a win today and it was a great game for the crowd for a London derby. Tough position to be in (while they were batting). She praises her team-mate Kirstie Gordon for sticking with her in a ninth wicket stand that fetched 32 runs in 19 balls. She knew the pitch would be hard for run-scoring, that the ball was sticking in it and that gave them hope that they were still in it.
MI London were 64 for 8. Somehow they've managed to drag this out of the fire. Amelia Kerr (69 off 41) with the bat. Nicola Carey (2-30) and Hayley Matthews (2-21) with the ball. And a whole heap of never say die from everybody else. That's the first win of the season and it's definitely one to savour.

Carey to Dottin, 1 run, OUT, short ball outside off, Dottin pulls to deep midwicket. She wants to go for the second. There's no time for it and she ends up run out. MI London win by three runs.
DJS Dottin run out 11 (6m 6b 2x4 0x6) SR: 183.33
Armitage in conference with the bowler. Matthews steps in as well to plot her old team-mates downfall

Carey to Dottin, no run, slower short ball in line with the off stump. Dottin backing away, looking to upper cut, can't make contact

Carey to Dottin, FOUR, beats short fine and deep square leg can't get around in time to stop it. Leg stump line because that's where she has fielding cover. A near yorker, so very near, is flicked away by Dottin. She's swinging so hard she loses shape, one hand coming off the bat. But it's effective
Keeper goes back. Only three fielders on the boundary. All on the boundary

Carey to Dottin, FOUR, much needed boundary. All the off side field is up square. Carey bowls a full toss outside off. Dotton opens the face of her bat and scythes it through the gap behind point

Carey to Dottin, 2 runs, the ample inswing makes sure Dottin's big heave becomes more of an inside edge out to deep midwicket
Spirit need 15 off 5 balls now. Carey to close it out

Matthews to Dottin, no run, seam up bouncer. Dottin backs away trying to cut. But the ball beats her top edge and it's taken wonderfully by the keeper; almost as if she were in on the plan
