  1. Superchargers 66-3published at 45 balls

    It's been a decent recovery from the Superchargers, led by Rodrigues.

    Without Capsey, it'll be interesting to see how van Niekerk manages her bowlers the rest of the way.

    That is slapped away to the boundary by Jemimah Rodrigues. She continues to shine here at The Oval.

  3. Superchargers 65-3published at 43 balls

    Jemimah Rodrigues is putting on a show!

    Dane van Niekerk flights up another leg break, the batter watches it all the way and middles a sweep shot. Well in front of square for four more.

  5. Superchargers 59-3published at 40 balls

    Two boundaries from the Villiers set but the off spinner almost ends it with a wicket.

    She slides the ball past Wolvaardt's outside edge, the back foot does drag out of the crease but the batter gets it back so that even the quick glovework from Lauren Winfield-Hill isn't enough. Not out.

    Pierces the gap. That's proper class from Wolvaardt and it runs away for four.

  7. Superchargers 59-3published at 39 balls

    Top shot from Wolvaardt, just leaning on the ball to send it through the covers.

    Timed beautifully as well and the ball beats the fielder in the race to the boundary.

    Len: The fact Alice Capsey is walking off after that horrible fall shows how strong she is. I wouldn’t be able to walk for a month if that happened to me.

  9. Superchargers 54-3published at 37 balls

    Top shot from Rodrigues. Too straight from Villiers and the India right-hander hammers the ball away behind square on the sweep.

  10. Superchargers 50-3published at 35 balls

    The 50 comes up for the Superchargers but it is a good set from van Niekerk, just five single from it.

    Really good flight and a nice pace from the South African leg spinner.

    Dane van Niekerk is going to bowl the next set, her first bowl in her first game for a number of months.

    R: I love watching Jemimah Rodrigues bat, it’s pure art. I also love how she much loves playing and is not afraid to express it.

    It looks like Capsey will come off. I think that's the right decision. Especially with the ball going square of the wicket and you look for your most agile fielders. It will be difficult for her to dive and take a catch, so it is in her best interest that she comes off.

  14. Superchargers 45-3published at 30 balls

    Alice Capsey is now limping off after giving it a go out in the field. The fact she was allowed to even give it a try suggests that the damage isn't too serious. Let's hope so anyway.

    On the field and Laura Wolvaardt is in the middle with Jemimah Rodrigues. Not a bad duo to try and get the Superchargers back on track.

    Good news, Alice Capsey is up and she is going to continue. I would not have expected that after seeing that first replay.

  16. Postpublished at 18:55 British Summer Time 11 August 2022

    While we wait to see whether Alice Capsey will be able to continue. Let's take a quick look at the first runs in the women's tournament this year - all six of them off the bat of Alyssa Healy.

    The only surprise was that it came second ball rather than first...

    Capsey looks injured. There'll be a break of play here. That doesn't look good, on her birthday as well.

  18. Superchargers 44-3published at 28 balls

    Oh no. This does not look good for Alice Capsey, she slipped as she tried to field in the covers and the way her right knee twisted as her foot got stuck in the turf did not look good.

    The physio is out so fingers crossed it is not too serious.

    Shabnim Ismail gets her breakthrough. Sheer pace!

    Armitage b Ismail 1 (Superchargers 38-3)

    Bowled her! Completely done for pace.

    It wasn't a great start to the evening for Shabnim Ismail with the dropped catch but she is quickly making amends.

    This one is through Hollie Armitage before the Superchargers skipper can even reaction.

    The visitors are in trouble.
