Match Hero Alice Davidson-Richards: "It has been pretty phenomenal, I'm chuffed for the girls. As days go it wasn't too shabby.

"They were playing some lovely shots to start, their top-order will definitely get away some days. It was about keeping it simple and bowling your best ball for as long as possible.

"There isn't too much chat about the differences between T20s and this. It's nice that you can't go for that four or six off the sixth ball! The plans were pretty similar.

"The other batters did the hard work, I just knocked a few over. It was a slightly slower wicket but it played great.

"We were really close [to the knockout stage] last year and it was frustrating. We're definitely aiming for the knockouts. It's about doing what we do best for as long as possible and hope the other team blinks first."

No surprise whatsoever that Alice Davidson-Richards is named Match Hero, though.

Three wickets, a run out with a direct hit, a couple of catches and then hitting the winning runs with a six...

Phoebe Litchfield was in marvellous form for the Northern Superchargers - not bad at all for a replacement player!

Alice Davidson-Richards seals the victory in style, launching the ball back down the ground for six!

Comprehensive win for the Northern Superchargers.

Just seven more runs needed for Northern Superchargers. It's been a matter of when, not if, they get over the line for a while but they're very close now.

After middling just about everything up to this point, Phoebe Litchfield finally makes a slight mistake.

A thick inside edge off Katie Levick goes just past her leg stump but she still gets two.

One more, chipped back past the bowler takes the runs required into single figures.

New batter Alice Davidson-Richards gets off the mark with a paddle sweep for three before Phoebe Litchfield thumps a full toss to deep mid-wicket for one.

Superchargers need 12 to win from 30 balls.

This one is all over bar the shouting but the Birmingham Phoenix are going to make the Superchargers work for it.

Hollie Armitage pulls the ball into the leg-side, it looks four all the way but Erin Burns dives to make a brilliant stop on the boundary.

We've got a strategic timeout but it is merely delaying the inevitable.

Too good from Phoebe Litchfield.

It's a reverse sweep on this occasion. The Australian looks to have all the time in the world, picks her spot and hits it. Four more.

Short and hammered away for four by Hollie Armitage.

A loosener from Hannah Baker and it was unceremoniously punished.

Hollie Armitage gets in on the act next, a reverse paddle off Katie Levick that gives the fielder hope all the way before winning the race to the boundary.

The Superchargers are closing in now.

Phoebe Litchfield's cover drive is a thing of beauty.

Here's one example.

Make it four boundaries in a row from Phoebe Litchfield - she looks in excellent form!

Tess Flintoff has no answers as the Australian left-hander slaps the third of the boundaries through point and then drives the fourth into the gap at extra cover.

There's no stopping her here.

Back-to-back boundaries from Phoebe Litchfield to get the Superchargers back on track!

The first nailed through the covers before she goes across her stumps and scoops the next away fine.

Just two from that five balls from Erin Burns.

This has been a decent little spell for Birmingham Phoenix but it's wickets they need if they're going to stop Northern Superchargers cruising to victory.

Birmingham Phoenix have got one wicket so far. That came when Issy Wong trapped Jemimah Rodrigues lbw in the powerplay.
