Slower ball, on a length angling into the leg stump, Threlkeld fails to dab it towards the onside and will be no run. The crowd erupts as their side can't lose now.

22:39 IST: The home side Southern Brave Women have pulled off the contest by 9 runs. It's their third win on the trot and with this win, they will be the new table topper with six points in their bank while Manchester Originals have suffered their second loss in the three matches they have played.
Earlier after losing the toss and batting first southern Brave Women had amassed 136 runs on the board with contributions from Mandhana, Wyatt, Dunkley and Bouchier. It felt like they scored 10-15 less, especially after the great opening stand they got. Chasing 137 runs, much like Braves, the Originals too got the flier start but after the departure of Lizelle Lee (25), their innings got stuck and meanwhile they lost the key wicket of Deandra Dottin(12) as well. Ami Campbell whose innings also weren't going anywhere. After scoring struggling 9 (off 13 balls) she too departed, wickets were falling from one end, however, their opener Emma Lamb kept their hopes alive till the end and scored a well-made half-century as well but just before the last couple of sets she too good outside edge towards short third man which perhaps was the final nail in the coffin.
Amanda Wellington scalped three wickets for them while Lauren Bell bagged two. Moreover, Anya Shrubsole also got one. Hold on for the presentation folks.

Amanda-Jade Wellington (Hero of the Match): "Pretty happy with the win, Smriti Mandhana and Danni Wyatt set us up pretty well. We have a great start so far and we were in similar position last year, we are taking one game at a time. I have put in a lot of practice from the Commonwealth games, I fell in a really good spot and bowling well. Dottin is a great player, on her day she can go on and get hundreds, pretty happy to get the wicket at that time."
Anya Shrubsole (Southern Brave Captain): "Splendid victory, Smriti Mandhana and Danni Wyatt set us up with that outstanding opening stand, our bowlers fought back well, Sophie Ecclestone's wicket at the end was crucial, we all know what she can hurt with the bat. Amanda knows her game pretty well, gets the ball up there, she is a major wicket taking threat."
That's all for today, this is Ishan signing off with my co-commentator Shashak along with our scorer/analyst Zeeshan. We will be back with all the live updates. Until next time, Good Bye from our side.
