6b to E Jones, and she repays the faith. Jones dances down the track but isn't to the pitch of the ball. Pushes at it, only to get an inside edge onto the stumps. 3/1 90b to EA Perry, another slog sweep towards Haynes and this time she makes no mistake. Goes reverse cups and pouches it comfortably. 144/4

18b to AE Jones, stunner! Jones goes down the track and lofts it over the bowler's head. Sutherland sprints to her left from long-off, puts in a dive and gobbles it. 16/2
Annabel Sutherland	15	5	35	1	2.33	5	0	2	2
92b to IECM Wong, length outside off, Wong throws her bat at it. Gets an outside edge and the keeper makes no mistake. 146/5

Katie George	15	2	27	1	1.80	2	1	1	0
36b to SFM Devine, what a catch! Devine walks back for 48. Way, way down the leg side and Devine takes a swipe. Sends it to the right of short fine leg where Hartley dives across and it sticks in her right hand. A bit of a wobble as her elbow hits the ground but she brings in her left hand to grab the rebound. 62/3

44b to RL Haynes, And Haynes holes out to deep midwicket! Of all the deliveries that Elwiss has bowled in this set, this was among the worst. A juicy full toss on middle and leg. But Haynes slogs it straight to Davies in the deep.. 71/2 84b to A Sutherland, High, but is it long? Nope! Perry settles under it and takes it safely. That's the end of one of Phoenix's main threat in Sutherland. She goes across and looks to heave it away. But the pace off has done her in.. 123/4
Sophie Devine	10	4	22	1	2.20	2	2	0	0
68b to TT Beaumont, And Beamont is gone! Excellent glove-work from Amy Jones. Slower one, full outside off, she comes down the track to hit through the off side. The ball passes under the bat and Jones does the rest. Is this a blow or a blessing for Fire?. 102/3
Kirstie Gordon	15	1	32	0	2.13	4	0	1	0
Abtaha Maqsood	10	2	14	1	1.40	2	0	0	0
32b to HK Matthews, Maqsood strikes on her second ball and continues the good day for legspinning women! Lands the flighted ball outside off, Matthews looks to lift it off the back foot over mid-off but only finds the fielder there.. 47/1
