Match Details
So that's goodbye from me, Anurag, and my partner Arijit Kundu from the comm box. Do join us tomorrow for The Hundred Men and Women's final in the evening and the second Test between West Indies and Pakistan. Good night and take care!!
Earlier in the day, the Invincibles put up a decent total of 114 on the board. A late flourish in that set but the innings throughout was more of ones and twos. The innings was well set up by Kapp and Capsey after three early wickets. Then there was a slew of wickets but Grace Gibbs ended well with an excellent cameo of 12 from 6 to have something on the board for their bowler’s to defend.
The Phoenix started off the chase on the wrong foot and lost the early wickets of Katie Mack and Evelyn Jones. Amy Jones and Erin Burns pulled off a brilliant partnership and took the game within touching distance. Both the set batters departed within the space of two sets and the game was back in balance. Wickets continue to tumble and the Phoenix lost another 6 wickets for 12 runs and they were suddenly 94 all out. The pressure of the run chase got onto the Phoenix and they fail miserably in the run chase.
