3.35pm From a precarious 33 for four, Ellyse Perry and Dane van Niekerk have lifted the defending champions to a fighting 131 for four. Perry continued her superb form with another fifty that takes her tournament tally to a whopping 744 runs in 15 matches but it was van Niekerk who provided impetus through the innings with an unbeaten 51 off just 36-balls. Back with the chase soon
Geoff Lemon caught up with Perry before this semi-final and wrote about her reinvention.
