That is all from this game. Time for the Men's to take on the field now. So, switch the tabs and join us for the coverage there. Till then, cheers!
Ashleigh Gardner wins the Player of the Match award. She says it was a huge win, all three departments did well and it was a perfect performance from them. Tells they bowled pace-off regularly and even the length was crucial.
In reply, Meg Lanning took the chase in her hands. She started well but lost a couple of wickets. Losing Heather Knight and Lanning in quick succession was a body blow for London Spirit Women who after that didn't look much interested in scoring. Deepti Sharma ignited the hopes but it was too big of a score to chase it down alone. Credit to Trent Rockets Women as they were excellent in all three departments.
A comprehensive win for Trent Rockets Women! Actually, the team that bowled well won the match. The way London Spirit Women bowled, they lacked execution and gave too many freebies to Trent Rockets Women who hit away dearly. Even they looked tired on the field. Trent Rockets Women did end with 10-15 extra runs.

OUT! RUN OUT! A low full toss, outside off, Sharma lofts it in the hands of Ashleigh Gardner at covers. Gray is halfway mark down but is sent back. An easy throw at the bowler's end and Gray is a goner.

Goes very full and wide of off. Sharma swings and misses. The umpire wants to check the stumping appeal but the replay shows the keeper collected the ball in front of the stumps. No ball.

Slower one, outside off, Gray drags it to deep square leg for one. Looks impossible for London Spirit Women now.
