    We always say winning is a habit and losing is a habit. You can sense that now a little bit.

    Wolvaardt c Sutherland b Carey 41 (Superchargers 102-3)

    Wolvaardt goes for one big hit too many and is caught in the deep. But it feels like a bit too little too late for the Fire.

    It should be in hand for the Superchargers but stranger things have happened in this format of the game.

    Welsh Fire do get the wicket but is going to be too little too late?

    Welsh Fire really needed wickets on top but didn't quite them if. If you get a wicket here it could break that momentum.

    If you get wickets now it creates some doubt and pressure.

  10. Superchargers 91-2published at 25 balls left

    Target 124

    Hartley bowls her last set, both batters are well set and are only taking calculated risks.

    Wolvaardt strokes a lovely one bounce four down the ground, a candidate for shot of the day. 33 needed off 25 balls

    Welsh Fire need a wicket. The longer this partnership goes on, it will be dangerous for them.

    Target 124

    Armitage and Wolvaardt continue to pick the gaps and the odd boundary. Armitage swats a four off Baker to keep the chase on track

    This game is only going one way. Superchargers are right on top.

  14. Superchargers 77-2published at 35 balls left

    Target 124

    The Superchargers look to be in control of this chase. Wolvaardt almost gets a four through the off side but the fielders combine well to stop the boundary.

    It's not enough from the Welsh Fire they need to be chipping away at the batting order.

    If Wolvaardt and Armitage stay in then it could be dangerous for the Welsh Fire. A really good partnership.

  17. Superchargers 73-2published at 40 balls left

    Target 124

    Hartley keeps it tight with her left-arm spin, no boundaries from her latest set and a strategic time out is called.

    51 runs needed off 40 balls.

    Target 124

    A loose awkward-looking shot from Armitage almost proves fatal but the ball just evades the wicketkeeper. But the partnership out in the middle are holding firm for the time being.
