5.13pm Somehow, that game got very very close. But the Supernovas have just enough in the end to huff and puff to their target. Not the greatest game of cricket, but like most T20s, this match also got very tight. Bates almost defended 3 in the final over, but the Supernovas got through off the final delivery.

It was, in any case, a great event for women's cricket. Some of the best cricketers in the world in one place, for two teams always promises great cricket. Even though, the quality wasn't quite at its best, the competition and spirit was.

Suzie Bates is the Player of the Match: "We were short with the bat, struggled through that middle order. Nice to keep the game close in the end. I was more of a bowling allrounder today."

Smriti Mandhana: "Our girls did brilliantly to take it to the last ball. You always feel like you;re 10 short. Wicket was really slow, 145-150 would have been a good score to defend. In T20s, you can defend any thing and any score can get chased. I told her I'm not playing Playstation with you because she (Harmanpreet) took that catch."

Harmanpreet Kaur: "To try to take it ball by ball. We have focused on our fielding, improving day by day. They used their bowling well."

El Perry: "It was amazing, an incredible experience. Nice that it was competitive and was close. It's so awesome for the health of the game. The IPL for women is the missing piece of the puzzle. To come down and play this game is a highlight of my career."

1 off 1. Everyone has to come in? There's one deep midwicket for the hoick. A short midwicket also.

Shahed: "Super over anyone? We didn't have any in IPL this season."

2 off 2 now. I'd be happy to give her one.

Nerves, nerves

3 off 3

3 off 4. You'd want seven, maybe eight in the circle for this. Just five in the circle.

Will Perry take the single? Five inside the circle.

Now 4 off 5

4 off 6, Perry on strike. One boundary away. You'd want to give her one. Bates will bowl.
