That's it from our coverage of match 25 in the Women's Hundred competition. Ninaad Dixit here signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Deepak Prakash and scorer/analyst Raju Khariya. Stay tuned for more action from around the world.
Sterre Kalis (Hero of the Match): "Yeah, I struggled a bit at the start with the pitch and probably allowed the bowler to dictate terms. I should have been more aggressive from the outset. But I hung in there, eventually found my rhythm, and felt better as the innings progressed.
Yeah, I’m really happy with the opportunity to bat up top this year. It’s something I’ve really wanted, and I truly appreciate getting that chance. We had a good win today, and with two more games left, hopefully, we can maintain this momentum and stay strong in the campaign.
Yeah, definitely credit to Pez early on and to the spinners, Levick and Baker, who always do a great job for us. Even though it wasn’t the highest total to defend, the bowlers performed well once again."

W IN THE AIR AND OUT! Arlott on a hat-trick! Nearly closes out the game for Phoenix. 62 mph. Bowls full and wide outside the off stump.
