A Monaghan to H Knight
That's it. Knight finishes the game with a boundary. Full and outside off. Knight takes the aerial route and goes over extra cover to get the boundary and they get the win.
This means the defending champions, Southern Brave Women, are the first team to be eliminated from the competition.

LSW won by 8 wickets
22:06 IST and 17:36 Local Time- The London Spirits skipper Heather Knight finishes the game with a boundary and they've clinched this game by 8 wickets. They've crushed the Manchester Originals on the back of an incredible partnership of 90 runs. Georgia Redmayne remained unbeaten on a cleverly crafted knock of 66 from 59 balls and skipper Knight finished off with 29 from 27 balls. With their victory, the Southern Brave have been knocked out of the tournament now.
The London Spirit Women were off to a horrible start as they lost their star opener Meg Lanning early on. Lauren Filer cleaned her up with a gem of a delivery. Cordelia Griffith was dismissed just after the powerplay and Alice Monaghan bowled an outstanding delivery. The Spirit needed to get a partnership going at that stage as the pressure mounted.
The experienced pair of Georgia Redmayne and skipper Heather Knight started to pick up the singles and twos to get the scoreboard ticking over and at the halfway stage they were 49/2. They upped the ante from there onwards and the boundaries came more frequently. It brought down the run rate required as Manchester Originals Skipper Sophie Ecclestone desperately hunted for the wickets.
Georgia Redmayne played a really calculated innings as she managed to accelerate at the right time. Heather Knight too was going well and the pair brought down the equation significantly. The run rate wasn't much of an issue heading into the final five sets.
The Manchester Originals failed to get the wickets as the two set batters eased things for London Spirit. Lauren Filer and Alice Monaghan got a wicket each upfront but were really expensive at the back end. The dropped chances in the outfield didn't help their cause either. Skipper Ecclestone kept it tidy but failed to get any scalps.

Hero of the match: Georgia Redmayne
Georgia Redmayne (Hero of the match): It was a tricky wicket. We kept wickets in the hand and it was nice to find the middle of the bat. Nice to have Heather at the other end.
At some point we had to remind ourselves to remain calm. We started amazingly with two wins, had a bit of a wobble but really proud we could get a win in front of the home crowd.
