That's all from our side for this game. See you soon.
Mady Villiers is the Player of the Match: It's a tough place to come here as an away player. We needed to play very well today and we did that. When our batters came off, they told us what to do. All of us played a part today and that was great. I like attack as a bowler and when you have bigger boundaries, you can set the field accordingly. I didn't think the stumping was out but Richa did. I was a bit surprised when it came as out.
5.10pm A 27-run win for MSG as they cement their third place on the points table. The win was set up by their batters, especially Richa Ghosh. After being promoted to No. 3, she scored a breezy half-century to steer MSG to 139. Lee and Bouchier gave Brave a quick start but once the openers departed, there was no coming back.

MacDonald-Gay to Grewcock, 1 run, down the track but it's chest-high full toss. Pulled to deep midwicket. But the ball-tracking shows Grewcock so much down the track that it would have dipped below her waist height at popping crease
