... TIME FOR PRESENTATIONS ...

Chasing a revised DLS target of 83, Wyatt and Smriti Mandhana opened the innings for the Southern Brave. Wyatt quickly found her rhythm, playing some exquisite strokes, while Mandhana was unfortunate to be run out for just two in the third set. Maia Bouchier came in and made an impact with three boundaries, scoring 16 before being bowled. Freya Kemp had a brief stay at the crease, falling for three. Wyatt, however, remained solid, anchoring the innings with her fluent batting. She ensured the required run rate was kept in check, with Chloe Tryon providing valuable support. The Oval Invincibles managed to stretch the game to the final set, but Wyatt’s composure under pressure proved decisive. With six runs needed off the last set, and just two runs from the first three balls, Wyatt held her nerve and launched a six to take her team over the line.

That’s the game, and what a finish from Danielle Wyatt! With four runs needed off the final two balls, Wyatt delivers in style, smashing a six to seal the victory. The Southern Brave Women secure their first win of the Women’s Hundred 2024, keeping their title defense alive with a seven-wicket triumph over the Oval Invincibles Women in a rain-curtailed match.

SIX! Take a bow, Danni Wyatt! She finishes things off in style under a lot of pressure as well. Sophia Smale flights this up, full and on middle, Danni Wyatt knows there is no protection in the deep on the leg side, moves down across and slog sweeps it, connects it so well that it sails over the deep square leg fence for a biggie. Southern Brave Women win by 7 wickets and just about stay alive in this season!

Brilliant stop! Quicker, full and on middle, Chloe Tryon goes down and slaps it hard down the pitch, Sophia Smale does extremely well to get her body in the line of it and makes a half-stop. Gives away just a run. 4 needed in 3 now!

Fires in a low full toss, outside off, Danni Wyatt moves across again and drills it to deep point for just a single. 5 needed in 3 now!

DOT BALL! Sophia Smale sees the batter move across and floats this up, well outside off, Danni Wyatt looks for the reverse scoop but misses. She has moved well across and it will not be a wide.

Sophia Smale has the ball in her hand to bowl the final set. Southern Brave Women need 6 off the final 5 deliveries.

Goes fuller and on middle, angling in, Danni Wyatt misses her flick as the ball goes off her pads wide of point. Another leg bye. Just two runs from the penultimate set. Excellent from Ryana Macdonald-Gay. Southern Brave Women needs 6 runs to win in the last set!

Make that three! Good length and on middle, shaping in sharply, Danni Wyatt gets cramped up in her crease and only manages to block it out. Pressure building again now on the batting side!

Clever bowling! Ryana Macdonald-Gay bangs in a sharp bouncer now, on middle and leg, Danni Wyatt ducks under it. She looks amused as the umpire signals nothing. Two dots in a row now!

Precious dot ball! Ryana Macdonald-Gay lands this on a hard length and around middle, Danni Wyatt backs away and looks to cut it away but misses.

On a length and angling into leg, Chloe Tryon uses her feet but fails to lay bat on that, the ball goes off her thigh pads to the leg side. Leg bye taken.

Goes short again, on middle, Danni Wyatt pulls it to deep mid-wicket for a run. Southern Brave Women needs just 8 runs to win in 10 balls now!
