PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Nadine De Klerk has been given the award for her match-winning 41 not out off 22 balls. She says at the halfway mark, they felt it was a pretty chaseable total and that the wicket played a bit better than she had expected. Shares that the chat with Marie Kelly was to keep going and try to finish the chase as quickly as possible rather than leave it too late. She finishes by praising Marizanne Kapp, calling her exceptional with the new ball and adding that everyone knows how good she is.

Not enough with the bat - On what looked like a good batting surface, Trent Rockets were unable to make the most of the conditions. Sophia Dunkley and Ash Gardner both got starts, yet neither could go on to play the defining knock their side needed. London Spirit, for their part, did an excellent job of nipping promising partnerships in the bud throughout. They also finished strongly with the ball, ensuring the hosts were kept below the 150-run mark.

De Klerk sees it through - Being bowled out for just 80 in their previous outing could easily have been weighing on London Spirit's minds, but Grace Harris put those memories to rest with a blazing start. True to the theme of the contest, Trent Rockets hit back. From 55/0, Spirit slipped to 67/4 as wickets fell in quick succession and the boundaries dried up. But Marie Kelly and Nadine De Klerk kept their composure. They bided their time before a 15-run set immediately after the timeout sparked the turnaround, with Nadine staying unbeaten to see Spirit home.

Spirit break the hoodoo - A thoroughly entertaining contest that ebbed and flowed as the two sides traded blows throughout, but it was London Spirit who came out on top in the end to register their first win of the season. It is a landmark victory for Spirit, who beat Trent Rockets for the first time in the women's competition after losing each of their previous five meetings.
