Southern Brave Women vs Trent Rockets Women, Eliminator - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

This eliminator was riveting and nailbiting. The Brave have won. Sciver almost spoilt their party but fell short by one hit. Trent Rockets would be gutted but that's how this game can be. Now switch tabs and hop to the other eliminator for the men's game.

Anya Shrubsole: It was an unbelievable piece of hitting from Sciver. It was worthy of a win. McGrath has an exceptional yorker but she missed three. As a captain, you need to back your bowler. You need to back your bowler when under pressure. I tried to frontload the bowlers. I bowled myself out trying to get Sciver out. But credit to her. I felt had I got her out, it was pretty much the game. Oval are set up a little differently. We need to look at them carefully. We will reflect today and go out tomorrow for the finale. Some of the middle order batters have under-performed. Adams has been one of the signings of the Hundred. I can't wait for the finale. Get up to London and hopefully have a good finale.

Nat Sciver: At the moment I am not sure how I feel. I was clear I needed to hit sixes. It is hard to balance when to go and when not to. I just wanted to hit through the line. We were happy to chase that. Got a little bit stuck and that made it tough to get the momentum. I have been practising to sit deep in my crease. In my head I am more clear of the trajectory as to how I want to hit it. I have always looked to be aggressive. It is such a funny feeling that every ball adds pressure if you don't get it away. Stepping away from captaincy has helped my batting I feel. I was putting pressure on myself and more than I can handle. I think I need to learn as to how I need to switch off when am at home.

Tahlia McGrath | Player of the Match: My heart rate is about 600 at this moment. Very tough to bowl to Sciver. I had no idea what I was doing, I stuffed up three balls and got it done. I thought it was a bump ball and didn't celebrate. Bit of a fluke [on the return catch]. Losing three ones early wasn't early. We got a competitive total and happy to defend it. Very excited to play at Lord's. The Ageas Bowl has been amazing. They look after us every time we are here.

17:38 Local Time, 16:38 GMT, 22:08 IST: One of the best games of this format. Of any format, dare I say. Sciver, you have my heart and mind. Some stunning hitting from her. She just held her nerves like a saint and struck three sixes off three balls to bring the equation down to 4 off 1. But alas there was no happy ending for her. But can't take anything away from her. She was stranded by almost all her partners. She got a few chances, cashed in and finished with an imperious 72 off 36 balls. This game wasn't a see-saw battle. It was one battle for most part of it. Sciver vs the Southern Brave. In the end, two runs is what differentiated the Brave side and Trent Rockets.

McGrath to Sciver, 1 run, the Southern Brave survive the tornado named Sciver. But what a knock from Sciver! She has to be the player of the match. Was a fuller length delivery outside off and Sciver mistimes it down to mid-off. Only a single and McGrath can breathe. Hands on head for Sciver as she is patted on her back by her opponent and England team-mate Anya Shrubsole. The Southern Brave win this by a thin margin of 2 runs. It is called an Eliminator because you will be terminated if you are weak-hearted

McGrath to Sciver, SIX, goodness gracious! This is unreal. This is surreal. 18 off the last three. In the slot and hammered over deep mid. I just can't believe this is happening. Sciver is playing one of the best T20 knocks ever. Remember the name! Remember? Last ball. Four needed. Sciver on strike. There is a confab. There are advices and opinions from everywhere. There are jangling nerves hounding McGrath

McGrath to Sciver, SIX, uh oh! Is it happening? Has the impossible looking 22 off 4 down to 10 off 2 now. Was a fuller delivery, Sciver gets under it and smokes it over long-on. She has been phenomenal

McGrath to Sciver, SIX, and that's some spice to the game. A fairytale end for Sciver? That was a length delivery and Sciver went across the line to deposit it over wide long-on

McGrath to Sciver, 2 runs, fuller length delivery, slogged across the line for a brace. 22 needed off 4 balls. McGrath wasn't supposed to bowl 10 balls on the trot but the penultimate set was just superb from her

McGrath to Sciver, no run, and that has nutmegged the batter. McGrath has just killed the chase with this imperious over. She has been metronomical and hasn't given any freedom to the batters

McGrath to Glenn, 1 run, right up there and Glenn digs it out into the on-side for a single

McGrath to Sciver, 1 run, backs away and cracks it well but the fielder at point does well to get her hand on it. Not a clean stop but the Brave's will take it

McGrath to Glenn, 1 run, nudges the ball away off the pads on to the on-side for a single

McGrath to Sciver, 1 run, fuller length delivery, Sciver heaves that down to deep mid for a single. Only a single this time. Fifty for Sciver and she has been scintillating so far

Bell to Sciver, 1 run, she wanted a single and she has got one with a push into the off-side. 10 balls and 28 needed. Only Sciver can do this from here

Bell to Sciver, FOUR, short ball, Sciver picks the bones out of that. Fetched the slower ball and placed it between long-on and deep mid for a four

Bell to Sciver, no run, mistimes the slap into the off-side. Another dot and has been an excellent set so far

Bell to Sciver, no run, short ball, chopped down to point

Sarah Glenn, right handed bat, comes to the crease
