So where do we stand?
Both these sides are progressing to the knock-out stages with Superchargers now second in the table with 12 points.
They await the result of Southern Brave's fixture against Manchester Originals on Wednesday. Should the south coast side lose heavily then today's victors will head straight to the final, if Brave win then these two sides will face each other in the eliminator on Saturday.

WICKETpublished at 10 balls left
Griffiths run out (Ballinger) 8 (Fire 115-8)
Oh no.
Wickets in successive deliveries as Griffiths calls new batter Shabnim Ismail through for a run and is sent back.
She's well short of the throw and Grace Ballinger takes off the bails with ease.

Elwiss c Litchfield b Ballinger 13 (Fire 115-7)

Not much batting left for Fire.

WICKETpublished at 18 balls left
Davies c Kelly b Davidson-Richards 8 (Fire 106-6)
Marie Kelly is setting an example - it's another catch for her.

Lucy Higham tightens it up, just a single coming off the remaining three deliveries.
Worth noting that she will no longer be able to bowl the maximum number of deliveries.
Fire 95-5published at 28 balls left
Well, you won't see that very often.
Spinner is Hollie Armitage is out of the attack after bowling a second full toss above waist height. It's a regulation targeted at seamers bowling wildly, not slow bowlers unable to find their line.
Higham comes on to finish the set.
Fire 90-5published at 30 balls left

A single for Elwiss as the ball pops off the back of her bat and over the head of keeper Bess Heath and runs away.

Perhaps the first quiet set of the innings as Georgia Wareham holds the new Fire batters to a single apiece.

Harris b Cross 37 (Fire (76-4)
A crucial breakthrough for the ever reliable Kate Cross!
She's broken this partnership with a fantastic yorker to Harris - the Australian jams her bar down but not fast enough.
Harris departs for 37 off 20 balls. Georgia Elwiss comes to the crease for Fire.
Fire 69-3published at 50 balls left
76 runs needed
Four more for Harris, smacking the ball through point. This partnership is now worth 55 off 26 balls.
We're going to take a strategic time-out and I think everyone could do with this breather - myself included.
