Scorer: Ranjith P | Commentator: Ekanth

Southern Brave finally get their hands on the title. A richly deserved win and a send-off to their skipper. You can catch Andrew Miller bringing you the action from the men's final between Manchester Originals and Oval Invincibles. Thanks for tuning in here. Hope you've enjoyed our coverage. On behalf of Ranjith and our entire team that has covered this comp, goodbye.

Anya joins her teammates on the podium to lift the trophy. Everyone goes up in cheers as she lifts the trophy, everyone gets a chance and there's a cheer every time the trophy is being lifted. The crowd look happy as well, as Shrubsole and her team-mates walk down the stairs. The captain hands the trophy to Charlotte Edwards. Å few pictures later, the lap of honour continues, this time with the trophy in the players' hands. Shrubsole gets a guard of honour from team-mates and opponents alike as she carries the trophy.

Anya Shrubsole, Southern Brave captain: A whole range of emotions. Relief that we finally got over the line. Proud of the girls, across three years to be honest. We feel like we've played brilliant cricket and have an unbelievable record. Winning seems justified. We lost a number of players in the draft. We lost Sophia Dunkley, Amanda - who was our leading wicket taker, Tahlia McGrath, Freya Kemp wasn't able to bowl this year, Lauren Bell wasn't able to play the first two games. For this squad to turn it around, perform as well as we have, having lost just one game (which we should've won) is unbelievable. That was a testament to how good we were.

Danni Wyatt, POTM: Buzzing to get the win at Lord's, couldn't be happier for Anya and the sendoff to her. When I was batting I was telling myself to stay in and that the runs will come. Our bowlers delivered again and fielders were outstanding. (Winning for Anya) Icing on the cake, she's played for 20 years, it was great. Crowd have been amazing, loved to have played in front of big crowds. Long may it continue.

Georgia Adams: (On being the highest wicket-taker of the season) Didn't expect that to be the result at the end of the comp. Happy to have contributed and won it for Anya. Don't know if playing it for her took away the individual pressure, it gave us extra drive. The pressure was handled as a team rather than it piling on individuals.

Shrubsole and Co take a lap of honour, the crowd are full of applause. Shrubsole looks content as she walks.

Lauren Bell: That was unbelievable, buzzing for Anya. To get across the line was a bit stressful but we did it. Had a lot of nerves at the start, didn't want to lose energy. (On Anya) What a human! She's been great this whole comp, happy to have given her a good sendoff.

4:48pm: Charlotte Edwards is thrilled. Shrubsole's family members are chuffed in the crowd as well. Superchargers could not get going in the chase. Like Brave, they lost two key batters early. Bell got Kelly and Litchfield in her first eight balls. But unlike Brave, Superchargers couldn't settle into a groove. Rodrigues was starved of strike for most of the innings. Brave were excellent in the field, which was a key difference between the two teams. Southby's keeping was fantastic too. Her stumping to dismiss Armitage was a highlight in itself. When Rodrigues finally got the strike with the asking rate rising over two a ball, she holed out and that was effectively the end, even though Cross and Higham chipped in.

Bell to Cross, 1 run, OUT, Another run-out chance, Ballinger can't run back for the second early enough and is miles short. Bell takes off the bails and the fielders swarm into a huddle. Shrubsole finishes her career having led the Southern Brave to a Hundred title. Ball was outside off on a length, it was slapped to cover. Cross had to come back for the second. Ballinger, unfortunately, wasn't quick enough.

Bell to Ballinger, 1 leg bye, Appeal for a run out, sent upstairs. Cross scampered to steal the leg bye, charged and slid the bat in the crease when the ball was underarmed to the stumps. Fullish ball, Ballinger tried to work it away to the leg side, missed the ball and it deflected to the off side. Bell ran in quickly and underarmed it.
