- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR19.4 Matthews falls while going for another big shot and Knott will breathe easy before the over is done. A crunch knock from Matthews, the occasion couldn't have been bigger and she goes back to a big applause at the MCG 139/91.6 taken at midwicket! Short of a length, Webb connected quite nicely with the pull but couldn't get it over Rodrigues 15/13.6 straight to backward point! Molineux goes for the cut, was short and wide enough for that, but can't keep it down and it's a simple catch 23/24.1 over the wicket, full at the pads, clipped through midwicket...and we have a run out check from somewhere. Oh no! Dottin is out. Her bat has got stick on the line. An extraordinary moment in the final. Dottin should have made her ground comfortably, but as she went to slide the bat it got trapped. Was a very half-hearted attempt at a single. 23/39.5 taken at long on! Goes for the slog sweep, comes off the top edge and goes much straighter than she was aiming. Grace Harris settles under it 64/415.1 and she holes out to long-on! Stalenberg had started to put some pressure on the Renegades but they've got her at the right time. Parsons didn't give much pace on that as Stalenberg came down the track for a big shot, she went straight down but couldn't clear long-on, where Grace Harris judges it nicely 109/516.3 taken at mid-off by the captain, and she celebrates with a salute! Faltum comes down to probably take that on the full, swings down the ground and can only chip it to Jonassen, who takes a really good catch running back from mid-off 116/617.4 another wicket and make that No. 7! That was nearly a yorker from Charli Knott on off stump and Prestwidge had absolutely no answer for that, as the ball snuck under the bat 123/718.6 beaten and stumped! Charges down to sweep against the turn, misses it completely and Redmayne has enough time to take the bails off 129/8Extras10 (lb 5, w 5)TOTAL141/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.05)Fall of wickets: 1-15 (Courtney Webb, 1.6 ov), 2-23 (Sophie Molineux, 3.6 ov), 3-23 (Deandra Dottin, 4.1 ov), 4-64 (Georgia Wareham, 9.5 ov), 5-109 (Naomi Stalenberg, 15.1 ov), 6-116 (Nicole Faltum, 16.3 ov), 7-123 (Georgia Prestwidge, 17.4 ov), 8-129 (Sarah Coyte, 18.6 ov), 9-139 (Hayley Matthews, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.2 taken at cover! Full at off stump, tries to go over the off side, can't get anywhere near enough on it 27/30.6 taken at mid-on! Huge moment. Harris looks to flick a full delivery over the on side, doesn't get enough of it, very nicely held over the shoulder by Coyte 5/11.6 lofted to cover! Back of a length, Rodrigues looks to drive on the up, can't get any distance on it. Straight up in the air and a simple catch. Renegades won't mind those wides now 11/26.5 taken at deep midwicket! The pressure is mounting. Knott came down to hit it away with the turn, swipes across the line for the aerial route and hardly gets any distance as Prestwidge runs in a few yards to grab it 37/46.6 gone first ball, where's the off stump? Hayley Matthews, the woman of finals is doing it all on her own at the MCG. Flat offbreak with some turn, Laura wants to sweep it away after going down on a knee and she doesn't get even close to it. Top of off and the Renegades players are all over Matthews 37/59.5 taken at mid-off! Is it all down to Jonassen? She makes room and wants to go down the ground, tries to clear mid-off but the tall Hayley Matthews takes a couple of steps back and takes it over her head with both hands 68/6Extras6 (lb 1, w 5)TOTAL90/6 (12 Overs, RR: 7.5)Fall of wickets: 1-5 (Grace Harris, 0.6 ov), 2-11 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 1.6 ov), 3-27 (Georgia Redmayne, 4.2 ov), 4-37 (Charli Knott, 6.5 ov), 5-37 (Laura Harris, 6.6 ov), 6-68 (Lauren Winfield-Hill, 9.5 ov)
