Man of the Match
Georgia Adams
Commentry
Georgia Adams is the player of the match. She says that it obviously feels great and it is a special day for Anya Shrubsole and they wanted to do it for her. Adds that Kemp was brilliant and that knock was exceptional. Tells that you have to be positive at all time and don't take the foot off the pedal. Mentions that she is working hard on her bowling and it is nice to have an all-rounder status as it takes pressure off from both aspects of the game. Says that you can never take the Invincibles easy and this win was important to take the momentum into the next stage.
Presentation coming up...
Earlier in the game, Oval Invincibles Women posted a total of 130 runs. Suzie Bates scored a half-century and Paige Scholfield and Marizanne Kapp played good cameos of 30 and 27 respectively. Maitlan Brown, Georgia Adams, Kalea Moore Anya Shrubsole and Lauren Bell picked up a wicket each for Southern Brave Women.
With this loss, the defending champions Oval Invincibles Women are out of the competition. They were close to winning this one but failed to break the Georgia Adams-Freya Kemp partnership. The duo registered a partnership of 73 runs off just 39 balls. Marizanne Kapp, Paige Scholfield, and Nadine de Klerk picked up a wicket each and the rest of the bowlers were wicketless.
Georgia Adams and Freya Kemp, take a bow! What a win! What an end to this topsy-turvy game. The momentum swung from one corner to another and in the end, Southern Brave Women pulled off a famous win. They stay on the top of the table. They were off to a steady start and lost both of their openers early on. Maia Bouchier played a good cameo but once she was dismissed, Georgia Adams and Freya Kemp came out with all guns blazing and made sure they get their team over the line. The former scored a half-century while Freya Kemp played an excellent knock of 41 off 21.

FIFTY FOR ADAMS! A maiden half-century for her and what a time to register it as well. This has been a brilliant knock and when her team needed it the most. This is on a good length and on middle, Georgia Adams slaps it towards long on for one. She celebrates it by raising her bat to the hut.

In the air....safe! This is full again, on middle, Freya Kemp goes for the reverse-scoop but it goes in the air off the toe-end and lands safely to the left of the keeper who has no idea where the ball is. They cross. 16 runs needed in 10 balls now!

FOUR! Two in two! This is slower delivery, fullish and on middle, Georgia Adams uses her wrist and whips it wide of deep square leg where the fielder runs to her left and dives but fails to stop it from going over the fence for a boundary.

FOUR! Georgia Adams is dealing in boundaries now! Nadine de Klerk lands this short and on middle, Georgia Adams gets into position quickly and hammers it wide of deep square leg fence for a boundary. That brings up the 50-run partnership between these two batters!
