    If Phoenix do pull off the win, they'll have this woman to thank...

    Because the Superchargers have only lost one wicket, I'd say they're on top. They've got a really good platform going into the last 50 balls or so.

  3. Superchargers 76-1published at 55 balls left

    Need 76 runs to win

    Phoebe Franklin turns her arm for the first time. A full delivery is hit through the off side but a diving stop from Emily Arlott stops a certain four.

    There's no stopping that, though, as Wolvaardt latches onto a wide delivery and cuts for four. Poor bowling, far too much width.

    That is very smart batting. It's a deliberate shot, just waiting for the ball and using her wrists at the last second to guide it for four.

  5. Superchargers 65-1published at 40 balls left

    Need 83 to win

    Kirtie Gordon is back after getting a bit of a hammering with her set of five earlier. After a few decent deliveries, Wolvaardt plays the most delicate of late cuts for four.

  7. Superchargers 58-1published at 65 balls left

    Need 90 to win

    Good comeback from Wong, just two runs from her next three deliveries.

    The win predictor has Phoenix - at 52% - the slight favourites here.

  8. Superchargers 56-1published at 68 balls left

    Ouch! An Issy Wong bouncer clatters into Winfield-Hill's helmet. The batter is fine and, to make things better, the ball races to the third-man boundary.

    Do not bowl there to Lauren Winfield-Hill!

  10. Superchargers 52-1published at 69 balls left

    Phoenix, in desperate search of wicket, turn back to Issy Wong.

    Pitched up. In the slot. Drilled for four. Winfield-Hill is loving this.

    Superchargers fancy themselves in this chase.

    That's a beautiful bit of timing.

  13. Superchargers 47-1published at 70 balls left

    Need 101 to win

    Spinner Abtaha Maqsood is introduced to the attack. After two tidy deliveries, she floats one in and Wolvaardt plays a traditional covers drive for four. Proper cricket shot, that.

    A full toss is then dispatched to the mid-on boundary.

    Superchargers finding boundaries with ease!

    Even when you've had a great five balls, batters can work out what you're going to bowl if you stay on for the 10 in a row.

    Need 111 runs to win

    Erin Burns is kept on five more. The Australian, wearing her trademark baseball cap as she bowls, sways down the leg side and Winfield-Hill helps it along to the boundary.

    A superb set of five from Burns, going for just one run and finding the breakthrough.

    That's the first big shot we've seen from Jemimah Rodrigues and it's been her downfall.

    That's a massive blow. A huge wicket for Phoenix.
