    Cheers, Ffion.

    We could be in for a classic here. Superchargers will be hoping Jemimah Rodrigues - the leading run scorer of the tournament - has another cracking game.

    So, who's going to make it to the eliminator? Here's Kal Sajad to take you through it.

    It's a good score, but it won't be straightforward for the Phoenix to defend.

    Northern Superchargers' Jemimah Rodrigues has been batting beautifully and South Africa's Laura Wolvaardt scored 75 not out in her last outing. She has just started to find her form after a slow start to the Hundred - maybe at the perfect time?

    Opening batter Eve Jones was the star of the show for the Phoenix, scoring 64.

    I think Superchargers will be quietly confident of chasing this down.

    Phoenix with runs on the board are probably just favourites.

    A couple of misfields at the end there just allow a few more runs to be scurried.

    So, it'll be 148 for the Superchargers to win and secure their place in the eliminator.

    Can the Phoenix defend that total?

    Those ones are tough. She had no chance.

  9. Phoenix 145-4published at Ball 99

    Oh no! Alice Davidson-Richards goes for a sliding dive, but the ball spins past her for four and, although she may feel a bit silly, those ones are so hard and sometimes impossible to stop when it spins past you.

    She's laughing about it, anyway!

    The vast majority of people here are supporting the Northern Superchargers but Eve Jones still got a great round of applause. Great knock.

    Issy Wong can give it a hit.

    Issy Wong usually only plays one way: she whacks it. What can she get from the last five balls?

    What a fabulous innings from Eve Jones. She's done a brilliant job.

    A brilliant innings comes to an end. She tries to go for six more but finds Laura Wolvaardt on the boundary.

    What a take from the wicketkeeper. That is high class.

    What a take! Beth Langston bowls full, following the batter who was backing away, and keeper Lauren Winfield-Hill leaps to intercept it one handed.

    Big last 10 here from Phoenix. What can they get?
