Tells that she is an experienced player and that makes it easy for her. Tells that she has conversations with her bowlers and tries to know what they want.

The Presentation ceremony...
Earlier in the game, Dane Van Niekerk won the toss and put the opposition into bat which proved to be the right decision. Once their bowlers got rid of the destructive opening pair of Beth Mooney and Danielle Gibson, Oval Invincibles Women were in pole position. After that, Mady Villiers showed great wicket-taking abilities as she bowled a couple of sets of ten on the go and picked up four wickets. As for London Spirit Women, only Amelia Kerr showed fight and got them to the 80-run mark. In the chase, the top two for Oval Invincibles Women, Suzie Bates and Lauren Winfield were too hot to handle for the opposition bowlers and the reigning champions lost just one wicket as they sealed their place in the playoffs.
In a must-win game, London Spirit Women didn't even have a run-a-ball total on board which made it even more difficult for the bowlers. But they never stood a chance and the pacers were just not on song from the get-go. Apart from skipper Charlotte Dean and Grace Scrivens, everyone else received a bit of stick and the game was over before they knew it. Their bowlers might have poor figures but it was really the batting that has been the difference maker in this game. They will be disappointed with that performance and will look to end the season with a win in the next game.
With just 81 needed to win, one expected London Spirit Women to get the win but they did it with much ease. This victory was set up by the bowlers earlier and then by their openers as well. Lauren Winfield and Suzie Bates were relentless, Bates, in particular, went after her White Ferns teammate Amelia Kerr and played a quickfire knock before getting out for 31. After that, it was all Winfield as she played strokes all across the ground and finished with 44 not out and even hit the winning runs.
What a resounding victory this has been for Oval Invincibles Women and with this big win, they have secured their place in the top 3 of the points table which means that they will at least play the Eliminator. As for London Spirit Women, their hopes of making it to the playoffs is well and truly over now.

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Grace Scrivens strikes and that's a great take from Beth Mooney behind the stumps.

NOT OUT! That's a poor review by Charlotte Dean! Pitches it around off and it turns in. Lauren Winfield goes for a big heave across the line but misses and gets hit high on the pads. There is an appeal for an LBW but the umpire is not interested as it looks like the impact it outside off. Charlotte Dean though takes the review and the Ball Tracking confirms that the impact is indeed outside off. The original decision stays.
