So do switch tabs and follow all the updates from that game.

PLAYER OF THE MATCH - PHOEBE LITCHFIELD wins the award for her swashbuckling 71 not out off just 33 balls. Phoebe starts off by saying that the credit goes to the bowlers of her team. Says that they bowled exceptionally well in the first innings, making the most out of the pitch, which made the job of the batters easy. On attacking right away in the second innings, Litchfield says that it's very important to go aggressive in this format of cricket. Adds by saying this attacking style of batting has been the blueprint of the team, which suits her very well. On her record-breaking half-century, she responded by just saying it's a cool thing and smiling, which also shows how humble she is. Ended up saying that they have two games left in the group stage and their total focus is on getting both wins.

... Let's hear it from the Player of the match ...

Done in a canter - Chasing 108 was never going to be a mountain to climb, and all Sunrisers needed was a steady start through the Powerplay. That's exactly what they got, courtesy of Phoebe Litchfield. They did lose Bryony Smith early doors, the lone success Phoenix could point to with the ball. The hosts also made a few costly errors in the field, and their bowling plans never quite fell into sync. In a chase of this size, that kind of slack was never going to be forgiven. Phoebe Litchfield simply went into punishing mode, finding the fence at will and with ease. Birmingham Phoenix, in their entire innings, could only manage 13 fours and not a single six. Litchfield alone matched that boundary count on her own, smashing 13 fours plus a six, all by herself. She got decent support from Lauren Winfield-Hill, who held one end together sensibly, and between the two of them, that was more than enough to get the job done for the visitors.

Grounded before take-off - Momentum never showed up in the Phoenix's innings, and neither did any real fluency. Sunrisers' bowlers strangled this Phoenix line-up from ball one and simply refused to let go, reducing a star-studded batting order to a scratchy 107. Deepti Sharma struck late thrice, Sutherland pulled out her whole bag of tricks, Cross and McCarthy made the new ball talk, and everyone else chipped in to keep the shackles on throughout. Only Perry and Lamb managed to put bat to ball with any real conviction, scoring 31 and 47 respectively, while the rest of the order never got out of first gear.

A walk in the park - No better way to describe this one-sided win for the Sunrisers. They have unleashed an absolute hammering on Perry and Co., and with that, Birmingham Phoenix Women have officially been eliminated from the playoff race. It sets off a bit of a domino effect too, dragging MI London and London Spirit down with them in the process. With this win, Sunrisers give their net run rate a massive lift too, breezing past Welsh Fire to move up into fourth spot, now on 12 points.

FOUR! That will be more than enough. Sunrisers Leeds Women win by 9 wickets and 31 balls to spare. This one is fuller with a bit of flight at the stumps. Lauren Winfield-Hill dances down the track and lofts it over mid off for the boundary to get the job done in style.

DROPPED! Capsey is the guilty party there. Fuller and around off. Litchfield shapes up for the reverse sweep, but reading the line late, changes her mind mid shot and tries to loft it back down the ground instead, only to mistime it completely.

FOUR! She has made batting look so easy! Too full and on the leg stump. Phoebe Litchfield picks the length in a trice and nails the sweep shot, hitting it hard, along the ground, and into the gap behind square leg for a boundary. 100 UP FOR THE SUNRISERS!

FOUR! Off the inside edge. Fired on a length by Capsey, on middle. Phoebe backs away to smash it past cover-point but gets a massive inside edge. But luckily for her, the ball goes past the leg stump and rifles into the deep fine leg fence.
