FOUR!!!! Higham tosses this up outside off, Katherine steps out of the crease and hammers it straight back over the bowler's head for a boundary. Too little too late for the Rockets Women.

L Higham to K Sciver-Brunt
SIXX!!!! A maximum to finish but it won't be enough for the Trent Rockets Women as they lose the game by nine runs. Flighted delivery on the stumps, Katherine dances down the track and tonks it straight back over Higham's head for a maximum. All smiles in the Northern Superchargers camp as they have done a fantastic job with the ball in hand to emerge victorious.

18:29 IST and 13:59 Local Time: The Superchargers looked dead and buried at the halfway stage in the second innings. However, their spinners came alive and moved their side in the winning direction.
Coming in to chase down a target of 135 runs. The Rockets were provided with a fine start as their openers Lee and Smith found the ropes and stitched a 61-run partnership batting through the first nine sets. Lee (16) was dismissed, but Smith who was aggressive in her innings went on to score 70 runs. However, once she was sent back to the hut. The Rockets lost their way terribly as their middle order crumbled against the spin of the Superchargers. In the end, they fell short by nine runs.
Defending their total, the Superchargers could not get the early breakthrough and were hammered around by Smith at the top. Wareham got rid of Lee on the 44th delivery. However, once Smith was dismissed, the Superchargers' spinners got the ball turning and got wickets in clusters, and induced an absolute collapse. They crippled the Rockets from 92/2 to 107/7 and knocked them out of this run-chase. Higham was the leading wicket-taker for the Superchargers as she registered 3/29 bowling 20 balls. Apart from her, Wareham and Linsey got a couple of wickets each.
So, the Superchargers bag the two points and are placed third on the points table here. On the other hand, the Rockets are stuck in the bottom half of the table.

Hero of the Match: Lucy Higham
Lucy Higham (Hero of the Match): “Not really sure how we pulled this game. We tried to take the game till the end and I’m really proud of the girls for the way they fought. I was pretty nervous. Bryony played brilliantly. She cleared the boundary with ease but we held our nerves. My first ball was always a full toss and she hit a six. That is not ideal. But then I tried to pull back the length and it worked for me. We have got a great group of girls and are incredibly proud to play in the tournament. Credit to all the girls and a big thanks to them.
That's it for this game, everyone! We hope you enjoyed this live coverage. Do switch tabs and follow the Men's contest between the same two sides which starts at 19:00 IST. For now, on behalf of Akshay Bhide, scorer/analyst Raju Khariya, this is Navjeevan Rajput signing off.
