- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.1 cleaned up! A length ball at the stumps. Mooney goes for the pull but the ball keeps low and goes underneath the bat to rattle the stumps 9/114.3 Sliced straight up and Ecclestone finally gets the better of Dunkley. Darted on off, she backs away again trying to launch it over the offside. Ends up carving it with backward point doing the rest 116/312.2 Straight to Mandhana at mid-off and Luff falls right after her fifty. Back of a hand slower ball on middle stump, she backs away and looks to go over mid-off. Only manages a toe-ender as far as Mandhana who makes no mistake 100/215.5 An easy stumping for Ghosh and Rockets are falling apart. Lovely bowling from Villiers. Gives the ball lots of flight and gets it drift on off. Gardner jumps down the track looking to go across the line. She misses and Ghosh does the rest 121/514.5 Two wickets in three balls for Ecclestone. This is an Ecclestone special. Arm ball at 56mph on middle and leg. Heath is camped on the backfoot and looks to work that away. Plays all around it and sees her middle pole knocked back 116/417.3 A complete mix-up between the batters and Elwiss' stay at the crease is a short one. Good length ball on off stump, she miscues to the left of MacDonald-Gay. A bit of yes and go between Elwiss and Adams. Elwiss is already halfway down the track as MacDonald-Gay fires a throw to Ghosh who whips off the bails with Elwiss well short 133/618.5 Another run out? The third umpire has been summoned. Oh, yes, Garth is short. Flatter outside off, she slices to backward point. MacDonald-Gay fires a flat throw to Ghosh who is lightning quick in whipping off the bails. Rockets have lost the plot here. 145/719.5 A run out to end the innings. Rockets end with 153. Floated on off, she shimmies down the track and works this aerially to deep midwicket. There was never a second run on, but they pushed their luck. A clean pickup and throw meant that Levick was well short 153/8Extras4 (b 1, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL153/8 (20 Overs, RR: 7.65 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Beth Mooney, 2.1 ov), 2-100 (Sophie Luff, 12.2 ov), 3-116 (Sophia Dunkley, 14.3 ov), 4-116 (Bess Heath, 14.5 ov), 5-121 (Ashleigh Gardner, 15.5 ov), 6-133 (Georgia Elwiss, 17.3 ov), 7-145 (Kim Garth, 18.5 ov), 8-153 (Katie Levick, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.2 stumped by a mile. A length ball wide outside off. Doesn't turn and keeps low as well. Mandhana misses it completely and Mooney pulls off a stumping. A big blow for MSG 6/114.2 Huge, huge appeal for lbw. The umpire agrees and this is a body blow to Super Giants. Surely, Lanning will review here. She does. Is that sliding down? Gardner tosses this up on a length on middle stump, Lanning gets stifle across and misses the cross-batted swipe. She is hit in front. The only question is whether the ball was turning enough to miss leg stump. It wasn't. Replays suggest the ball would thud into leg stump 89/54.2 full around off. Villiers looks go over long-on but gets a leading edge towards extra cover where Dunkley accepts a dolly 20/26.1 full on the stumps. Chipped back towards the bowler but think it fell just short of Gardner. Elwiss appealed and the umpires are checking upstairs. The third umpire says the fingers are under the ball and Scholfield walks back. Looks like it bounced on her fingers and perhaps that's why Gardner wasn't sure 31/39.2 holes out to long-on. It was full around off and Ghosh looks to go big. Fails to clear the fielder, though 59/415.2 Bryce departs and Super Giants' run-chase is falling apart. That is a top catch from Gardner. Floated on off stump, Bryce shimmies down but fails to reach the pitch of the ball. She chips it towards Gardner, who dives forward to complete a superb catch 100/617.4 A direct hit and Brown is a goner! She wasn't even in the frame. Bullseye from Adams. Full outside off, she shovels to mid-off, where Adams collects, fires a clean throw and nails the non-striker's stumps 118/816.3 Oh, that is a screamer from Bates in her followthrough. It's more like the ball caught her, than the other way around. Floated outside off, she hammers this back to Bates, who in self-preservation, flings out her left hand and takes the catch 103/718.1 MacDonald-Gay falls for a golden duck. Tossed up outside off, she swipes across the line, gets a lot of height but not enough distance. A slight bobble from Dunkley at long-on but she hangs on, eventually 122/918.3 That's that! A thoroughly professional effort from Rockets, who complete a comfortable win. Tossed up, angling into Ballinger. She shimmies down the pitch, misses and sees her stumps in a mess. Gardner ends the innings as Rockets celebrate a 31-run win 122/10Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL122 all out (18.3 Overs, RR: 6.55 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Smriti Mandhana, 1.2 ov), 2-20 (Mady Villiers, 4.2 ov), 3-31 (Paige Scholfield, 6.1 ov), 4-59 (Richa Ghosh, 9.2 ov), 5-89 (Meg Lanning, 14.2 ov), 6-100 (Kathryn Bryce, 15.2 ov), 7-103 (Joanne Gardner, 16.3 ov), 8-118 (Maitlan Brown, 17.4 ov), 9-122 (Ryana MacDonald-Gay, 18.1 ov), 10-122 (Grace Ballinger, 18.3 ov)
