The 21st match of the season between the Welsh Fire led by skipper Tammy Beaumont and the Northern Superchargers led by skipper Hollie Armitage at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff was abandoned without a ball being bowled. Courtesy of a washout, both sides maintained a solid position in the top two.
Oval Invincibles led by skipper Lauren Winfield-Hill were up against Southern Brave led by skipper Georgia Adams at the Kennington Oval, London. The Southern Brave skipper Georgia Adams won the toss and elected to field first. After being inserted to bat first, Oval Invincibles got off to a poor start as they lost the wicket of Chamari Athapaththu for a duck on the 3rd ball of the innings.
Lauren Cheatle provided the first breakthrough for Southern Brave. Alice Capsey joined Lauren Winfield-Hill at the crease and the duo stitched a much-needed 23-run partnership for the 2nd wicket leading some kind of recovery for their side. Lauren Cheatle came back and picked up the wicket of Alice Capsey to provide the 2nd breakthrough for her side.
Marizanne Kapp joined skipper Lauren Winfield-Hill at the crease and just when the duo was building another partnership, the rains arrived, and the game was reduced to 65 balls per side contest. Oval Invincibles posted a total of 79/4 in their quota of 65 deliveries. Marizanne Kapp (26 off 17 balls), Alice Capsey (19 off 12 balls), and skipper Lauren Winfield-Hill (17 off 23 balls) were the top performers with the bat for Oval Invincibles.
