In the end, it was a clinical victory by the Oval Invincibles, who weren't challenged much. 117 wasn't an intimidating total, and only a few partnerships were needed to break the back of the chase. Alice Capsey and Paige Scholfield attacked from the get-go, not allowing the bowlers to settle into a rhythm. There was a hiccup towards the end, but Marizanne Kapp stepped up to the plate and got able support from Mady Villiers as they took their team to the victory's junction with no drama. And so that is a wrap for this match. Thank you for following our coverage. The Men's Hundred game is starting shortly; comms has already started

Alice Capsey, Match Hero: Capitalized in the powerplay, they bowled change-ups really well and bowled slow. We build a partnership and knew it will get easier towards the backend...wanted to get the best out of myself, feeling in really good nick, most pleasing thing is my calmness, nice to contribute to team's wins. Working hard in nets and making training fun, England's batting coach helped...I feel like I'm starting to getting an understanding of my game and the game as a whole.

88
4
Jonassen to Kapp, FOUR runs

Belted for four, fraction short again in the slot, she splays her front foot out of the way and swivels to the leg side, pulverises it over midwicket for another one-bounce four, played the quintessential role of a finisher and remained composed in a slightly tricky situation when they lost a few wickets in quick succession. She put her team back on the ascendency and Invincibles have registered a commanding win!

87
4
Jonassen to Kapp, FOUR runs

Over the wicket, dropped a touch short on middle, swinging for the hills, yanks her front foot out of the way and hammers it high and handsome to deep midwicket, one bounce over the rope. Duff ball and she puts it away with disdain

86
1lb
Jonassen to Villiers, 1 leg bye

Round the wicket, tossed up on middle, crouches and attempts a sweep, off the pads and into the leg side, keeper comes forward but can't prevent them from taking a single

85
Davies to Villiers, no run

Flings it touch short on middle, plays with the inward seam movement to short midwicket, decent over, kept things tight

84
Davies to Villiers, no run

Rams the yorker right into the blockhole, followed her as she stepped away to the leg side, digs it out to short midwicket

83
1
Davies to Kapp, 1 run

Short of a length and snakes it in at middle, backs away and crisply punches it off the backfoot to sweeper cover

82
1
Davies to Villiers, 1 run

Good length and attacks the stumps, cracks a cut and the ball is swirling away from cover fielder inside the ring

81
1
Davies to Kapp, 1 run

Good length, nice and straight at the stumps, walloped down the floor and a fumble at mid-on allows them to sneak a run

4
Davis to Villiers, FOUR runs

Bowls fuller at the stumps, she plays a brave reverse sweep and beats third, gets a timely four. Lots of finesse, class, and poise about that. Tough shot executed brilliantly in a pressure situation

79
1
Davis to Kapp, 1 run

Still going about it swimmingly, pulled towards fine leg, sets off for a quick single.

78
1
Davis to Villiers, 1 run

Tossed up and she sweeps it uppishly to deep backward square, shuffled across to access that region

77
4
Davis to Villiers, FOUR runs

Cuts the tension with a picturesque inside-out drive into the extra cover boundary, slight width offered and she pounced on it, she is on a mission

76
1
Davis to Kapp, 1 run

Floated up on a length at off, chopped away to backward point, throw is sharp at keeper's end but she is home safely, third ump confirms it, NOT OUT on the big screen

75
1
Davis to Villiers, 1 run

Fires it quicker on middle, sweeps it well to deep backward square.

Davis to Laura Harris, OUT

Is there a twist in the tale? Down on one knee and tries to pump it over deep midwicket, Dunkley charges in and takes a stupendous catch. Tossed up in her arc and she swung hard but just didn't get enough distance. Keeping the crowd interested

Davis to Laura Harris, FOUR runs

Tossed up outside off, brute force in those wrists as she slog sweep it in the gap between deep midwicket and long-on, placement is exceptional

72
W
Davis to Capsey, OUT

Mathews takes a breathtaking catch at long-on! Instinctively flicks her left hand out and plucks it out of thin air. Capsey trying to finish it up quickly and didn't get enough power on this occasion, couldn't lift it much.

Davis to Capsey, FOUR runs
