Southern Brave won by five wickets. Leaders Southern Brave extended their unbeaten run to five matches with a five-wicket victory over London Spirit at Lord's. Captain Sophie Molineux took 3-7 and then added 23 runs in a 52-run partnership with Maia Bouchier as Brave chased their target of 115 with seven balls to spare.

Having put Spirit into bat, Molineux struck early, removing Amy Jones (3) and Marie Kelly (0) within the space of three balls to leave the home side 10-2. Marizanne Kapp (34) put on partnerships of 27 with opener Grace Harris (16) and Nadine de Klerk (38) but they were the only three Spirit batters to make it into double figures.

Spinners Tilly Corteen-Coleman and Sarah Glenn took two wickets apiece while Molineux returned to bowl Deandra Dottin for five as Spirit closed on 114-8.

Brave lost opener Lizelle Lee for a duck after four balls of their reply while Laura Wolvaardt and Jemimah Rodrigues fell for 13 and 12 respectively.

Bouchier pressed on, hitting a 38-ball 46 from the top of the order as she and Molineux put Brave in sight of victory, only to stumble on the line. Both batters were dismissed with the scores level, with Bouchier stumped off the bowling of Charlie Dean and Molineux hitting the following delivery from De Klerk to Dottin, before new batter Naomi Dattani hit a winning single off her second ball.

Brave now sit eight points clear of second-placed Trent Rockets having played a game more, while Spirit remain fourth with one win, two defeats and a tie from their four matches.
