WAR-W vs SPI-W

So the Warriors are through to the final and after today's flawless performance, they will fancy their chances tomorrow to go all the way. Spirit on the other hand will contest for the consolation prize in the third-place playoff. The second semi-final will begin at 11:45 AM IST, do not forget to switch tabs for it! This is Raghav Tikmany and Pradeep signing off.

Sindhu Sriharsha (Warriors Women captain): I think we stood up to the occasion really well. Bryce has been outstanding throughout the tournament, this has been an incredible turnaround from the last season. We were spot on with our execution and did not put a foot wrong today. Hoping to get some rest before the big final tomorrow.

Nicola Carey (Spirit Women captain): We certainly weren't looking for a loss today, they were just too good, no partnerships were built but we did make a match out of this in the end. Wicket was a bit tacky, their bowlers bowled well, our bowlers were good too but we just didn't have enough runs to play with. It's been awesome, we've had great two weeks and playing alongside these girls.

Kathryn Bryce is the Player of the Match! Here's what she has to say: It's all good to help the team get over the line. We've had a quite a few days off but it's exciting to play finals tomorrow.

Warriors 74/6 in 13.1 overs win by 4 wickets and make it to the finals.

Kathryn Bryce 26(18) | Phoebe Litchfield 21(22)
Sophia Dunkley 3/16(3) | Mahika Gaur 2/14(4)

Defending a subpar total of 73 was never going to be easy but Spirit did get themselves to a good start. Mahika Gaur exploited the new ball by dismissing Hayley Matthews and Ellie Johnston early. The Warriors were forced to play her out and approach the run chase in a circumspect manner. The runs were not enough on the board but wickets from Patel and Dunkley gave some hope to Spirit. Once Litchfield was gone, it looked like that the match was going down the wire.

Kathryn Bryce and du Preez ensured that the Warriors reach home safely. They dealt in singles and doubles to get close to the target and launch one final blow after taking on Nensi. Dunkley bagged a couple of scalps towards the end but enough damage was done by then.

Stay tuned for the presentation.

13.1 Nattaya Boochatham to Mignon du Preez, THAT'S IT! Warriors Women are into the finals of this season. Length delivery on the leg-stump. du Preez whips it to mid-on and takes a quick single to seal the game and Warriors are finally home after losing couple of quick wickets.

The Warriors have lost two quick wickets as the batters have attempted some reckless shots in order to finish things off in style. Still not much to worry about, they are only delaying the inevitable.

12.6 Sophia Dunkley to Yasmeen Khan, OUT! APPEAL FOR STUMPING NOW! Yasmeen did step out of the crease to whack it and misses, keeper was quick with her glove work. Umpire takes this upstairs, replays confirmed that Yasmeen backfoot was in the air while the bails were dislodged and Yasmeen departs for a duck as TV umpire signals it as  OUT!

12.5 Sophia Dunkley to Yasmeen Khan, OH! Length delivery on the fourth stump. Yasmeen looks to launch it straight down the ground but misses.

Kathryn Bryce has just thrown away her wicket while going for the big shot to finish things off. She will not mind that as the Warriors are just one run away and she has done her job.

12.4 Sophia Dunkley to Kathryn Bryce, OUT! UP IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Bryce looking for a glory shot but perishes. Length delivery on the off-stump, Bryce skies it and Gaur back tracks and takes a good catch.

12.3 Sophia Dunkley to Kathryn Bryce, drops it short but well outside the off-stump. Bryce slaps it but straight to the cover fielder for no run.

12.2 Sophia Dunkley to Kathryn Bryce, SIX! BANG! Scores are level now. Length delivery on the stumps. Bryce once again steps down the track, sits on one knee and POWERS it way over deep mid-wicket fence for a huge maximum.

Massive over for the Warriors. Nensi lost control of her line for a moment and it resulted in carnage. The Warriors are almost home now with just 7 runs required.

11.6 Nensi Patel to Kathryn Bryce, length delivery on the stumps. Bryce skips down the track and knocked it down to long-on for another single.
