    Need 64 runs to win

    Oh, that should have been a third run-out. Katie Levick was miles out of her crease.

    The bowlers have been well and truly on top. Things change quickly in this tournament and you never want the gap between runs needed and balls left to get above 40 really.

  3. Fire 77-9published at 20 balls

    Need 64 runs to win

    Annabel Sutherland teases Shabnim Ismail with slower ball after slower ball. The South Africa bowler's eyes light up as one comes in a bit too full and she swings for the hills... and misses.

    Just a single from the set as Sutherland finishes with 1-19.

  4. Fire 77-9published at 25 balls

    Need 65 runs to win

    What did we say Welsh Fire's lowest score was? 95-9? It's not looking good.

    Davies c&b Cross 4 (Fire 76-9)

    Kate Cross joins in the wicket-taking fun. It's a simple caught and bowled, Freya Davies popping the ball straight back to her around hip height.

    This is turning into a convincing win for the Superchargers. They will want to wrap this up quickly and not hang around. That way, they help their net run-rate too.

  8. Fire 75-8published at 30 balls

    Need 67 runs to win

    A tidy set from Annabel Sutherland, conceding just three runs. She has 1-18 from her 15 balls.

  9. Fire 73-8published at 32 balls

    Need 69 runs to win

    Shabnim Ismail took a long look around the field as she walked out to bat.

    Third ball, she goes for a big old waft, slices it, and escapes with a single.

    The Superchargers have a lot of variety in their bowling attack, which is key. They have a bit of everything.

    A leg spinner, left-arm quick, a couple of right-arm quick. It looks a good team.

    WICKETpublished at 35 balls

    George lbw b Wareham 5 (Fire 72-8)

    It was a review of hope rather than belief.

    Katie George went for a creative reverse sweep, didn't connect, and was struck on the pad. The review shows three reds. George departs.

    Katie George is reviewing this and walking off at the same time which says it all.

  14. Fire reviewpublished at 35 balls

    Katie George has been given out lbw but she's sent it upstairs. She's Welsh Fire's last hope with the bat.

    It is starting to look a convincing day for the Superchargers.

  16. Fire 71-7published at 40 balls

    Need 71 runs to win

    Katie George bisects two fielders and picks up a boundary through third.

    Welsh Fire are halfway to their target of 142. The problem is they only have 40 balls and three wickets remaining...

    The accuracy. It is on the stumps. Good bowling from Sutherland and Welsh Fire have really had no answers, Beaumont apart.

  18. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 43 balls

    Bryce b Sutherland 2 (Fire 65-7)

    Annabel Sutherland flattens Sarah Bryce's off stump.

    This could be all over quite quickly.

  19. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 45 balls

    Windsor b Smith 4 (Fire 63-6)

    Emily Windsor's stay is all too brief. She struck the second ball she faced for four but is bowled by fourth.

    Linsey Smith has her second wicket, taking out middle stump.

  20. Fire 63-5published at 47 balls

    Need 79 runs to win

    Emily Windsor is off the mark with a boundary.
