Former Birmingham Phoenix all-rounder on BBC RadioWelsh Fire have to get Smriti Mandhana out if they are going to win.
They probably need a cluster of wickets too. Brave have a lot of batting in Freya Kemp, Georgia Adams and Maitlin Brown.

Bouchier st Bryce b Griffiths 9 (Brave 124-2)
Gone.
Maia Bouchier fails to make contact and her back foot does not come back down in time as Sarah Bryce breaks the stumps.
Umpire reviewpublished at 25 balls left
A brilliant bit of glovework by Sarah Bryce off the bowling of Alex Griffiths might have given Welsh Fire a second wicket here as Maia Bouchier might have not get her foot back behind the line.
Brave 122-1published at 26 balls left

Brave 116-1published at 30 balls left
Back-to-back boundaries for Smriti Mandhana as she punishes Hayley Matthews.
The pick of them is a one-bounce four straight down the ground after shuffling down the pitch to get to the pitch of the ball.
Southern Brave look well placed to take this down to the wire.

Michael Carberry
Ex-England batter on BBC RadioYou always felt like Danni Wyatt would play by the sword and die with the sword with the way she was playing.
You don't want to waste good form but she'll be happy with her contribution.
It is now for Smriti Mandhana to see Brave home.

Wyatt c Matthews b Griffiths 67 (Brave 96-1)
A brilliant knock by Danni Wyatt off 37 balls.
She lifts another one from Alex Griffiths high into the leg side but is unable to quite get the distance on it this time.
Hayley Matthews manages to get round and pouch a fine catch.
Brave 91-0published at 45 balls left
Tammy Beaumont shuffles her pack and Shabnim Ismail is called upon to stymie the run rate. Danni Wyatt looks in irresistible form at the moment, though, as he unfurls her full repertoire of shots.
First Wyatt does well to get under a full, yorker-length, ball from Ismail and biffs it down the ground.
Next ball Wyatt uses the pace and lifts it over the wicketkeeper off the face of the bat.

Fifty for Wyattpublished at 50 balls left
The diminutive Danni Wyatt brings up her half-century with a huge hit.
Freya Davies slips down leg side and Wyatt rocks back on her heels and hauls it over the leg-side boundary for six.
Brave are going along nicely here.

Brave 67-0published at 55 balls left
Danni Wyatt is looking to go big to virtually every ball now.
She whips Alex Griffiths towards deep mid-wicket but some superb relay fielding from Welsh Fire in the deep prevents the boundary.
