That is it from this game. Another match coming up for you. Welsh Fire Women will take on London Spirit Women shortly. The coverage has started already so switch the tab and join us there. Cheers!
Kathryn Bryce is the Player of the Match. She says they had some really close games previously and had to win it this time. Adds the players need to take responsibility and she tried her best today. Reckons the ball was holding on the pitch and it was important to go with the slower balls. Shares they knew one partnership was enough to get over the line.
...Presentation next...
Northern Superchargers Women knew they were short of runs and had to rely on their bowling department to create the pressure. They got the start they wanted. Kept it tight and got wickets but one partnership and the game got away from them. 10-15 runs more and they could have snatched a victory out here. Northern Superchargers Women might be comfortable on the table right now but they have lost their winning momentum here.
Manchester Originals Women do get a victory in the end. It did got a bit chaotic in the last five balls but Manchester Originals Women didn't panic at all. The start was absolutely disastrous as Manchester Originals Women lost five wickets inside the first half. However, they just needed one partnership to blossom and it came through Hollie Armitage and Amanda-Jade Wellington. Both did most of the work. Hollie Armitage fell in the dying minutes but the latter stayed out to take her team over the line.

OUT! RUN OUT! Manchester Originals Women are falling apart. Chaos out there. Tossed up on middle, Wellington tucks it straight to short mid-wicket and calls for a single which was never available. The throw comes and the keeper does it safely.
Sophie Ecclestone has come out with a runner.

Fuller and on middle, Sophie Ecclestone heaves it to deep mid-wicket for a single. Both the runner and Sophie Ecclestone runs across. Confusion out there as Sophie Ecclestone is clearly injured.

OUT! LBW! Huge appeal and Bryce is gone. A slower length ball, slanting on middle, Bryce tries to reverse sweep but the ball stays low and hits her on the pads. An appeal and up goes the finger. A bit tense moment for Manchester Originals Women.
