Commentary

So, that will be it for this match from the Kowloon Cricket Club in Hong Kong. But join us again tomorrow morning for the completion of the group stage with two more matches, to decide who finish where and the semi-final line-up. This is the pair of Rajarshi and Bidipto saying good bye. Keep following Sportskeeda!

Nicola Carey has been adjudged the Player of the Match! Here is what she has to say.

Nicola Carey (Spirit captain): It wasn't an easy wicket to bowl on to be honest with you, especially against a left-hand, right-hand combination. But we stuck to out task and managed to stem the flow of runs at just the right times. I'm happy that I could contribute with the bat and hope that this form continues in the next match and also in the semi-final.

Stafanie Taylor (Tornadoes captain): I thought with the bat, we were a bit slow in the first six overs. Then, we batted well to end with a decent score. We started well with the ball through Aliya Riaz and Chanida Sutthiruang but what followed after that took the game away from us. Nicola Carey played superbly to take her side home and she deserves every bit of the credit. It has been a disappointing outing for us this time round, hope to come back stronger next year.

It is time for the post-match presentation!

Spirit Women win by 6 wickets with 4 overs and 2 balls to spare!

Nicola Carey 84* (28) | Sophia Dunkley - 2/20 (4)
Stafanie Taylor 61* (48) | Aliya Riaz - 2/15 (3)

After 8 overs in this, the 2nd innings, we weren't sure as to whether Spirit could even come close to take the bonus point. Well, they did so with a ball left in the 10th over.

With that pocketed and a semi-final spot booked, we though that Spirit would not be too worried about chasing the runs down. But as it was, they romped home with 6 wickets left in the hut and more than 24 balls remaining!

Nicola Carey came out, took very little to get going and smashed her way to an unbeaten half-century! She played out only 3 dot balls in her entire innings. With 7 fours and 7 sixes, she helped her team do both - take the bonus point and finish victorious. Natthakan Chantham, who retired hurt, came out with a positive mindset and helped her captain in the run chase actively.

All the effort put in by Aliya Riaz and Chanida Sutthiruang with the ball went in vain as the rest of the bowling could not quite do any justice in the follow-up work. Sune Luus with her leg-spinners was disappointing. She bowled three overs and gave away 49 runs without taking a wicket. Riaz did not bowl out even when the going got tough for the Tornadoes and once again, Dane van Niekerk did not get a bowl.

This ends the Tornadoes' campaign. They finish without a win after being the champions last year. As for Spirit, they move into the semi-finals with a game in hand.

15.5 Mary-Anne Musonda to Nicola Carey, no ball, FOUR! Another head-high full toss, this time closer to the body, Carey took two steps forward and thumped this one towards deep mid wicket, and the ball raced away! A comprehensive win for Spirit today, they take this game by 6 wickets with over 4 overs to spare!

Free-hit coming up!

15.5 Mary-Anne Musonda to Nicola Carey, no ball, FOUR! This one slipped out of Musonda's hands, went at Carey over head-height outside off stump, Carey threw her arms at it and ended up dispatching the ball into the gap at point!

Well this is turning out to be a quick finish now, out of nowhere!

15.4 Mary-Anne Musonda to Nicola Carey, FOUR! This was down the leg side, Carey merely swatted the ball past the gap at long leg for another boundary!

15.3 Mary-Anne Musonda to Nicola Carey, SIX! This was full and down leg, Carey, down the pitch, looked to flick it away and ended up timing it too well! The fielder at fine leg leapt but ended up parrying the ball over the ropes!

15.2 Mary-Anne Musonda to Natthakan Chantham, full toss, Chantham looked to put it away but could only smash it towards long on for a single

15.2 Mary-Anne Musonda to Natthakan Chantham, wide, on a length but down the leg side

15.1 Mary-Anne Musonda to Nicola Carey, length delivery on off stump, tucked towards mid wicket for a single

15.1 Mary-Anne Musonda to Nicola Carey, wide, well down the leg side, this one. The keeper failed to gather the ball as well

Mary-Anne Musonda, right-arm off-spin, is into the attack.

With 4 fours and 6 sixes and just 3 dot balls up to now, Nicola Carey is making hey while the sun shines today at the Kowloon Cricket Club! After coming back from injury, Natthakan Chantham is looking way more positive too! This game is now for the Spirit to lose.

14.6 Winifred Durainsingam to Natthakan Chantham, good length delivery on off stump, the ball took the leading edge and rolled towards short third as Chantham looked to turn it towards the leg side

14.5 Winifred Durainsingam to Natthakan Chantham, FOUR! Full and wide outside off, Chantham got to the pitch and smashed the ball into the gap at deep cover!

14.4 Winifred Durainsingam to Nicola Carey, full and straight, slogged away towards the fielder at deep mid wicket for a single

14.3 Winifred Durainsingam to Nicola Carey, SIX! Right in the slot, Carey got down and under the ball and dispatched it into the stands at long on this time!

14.2 Winifred Durainsingam to Nicola Carey, full and down the leg side, Carey looked to pull the ball away and managed a thin edge past the keeper. The batters got another brace as fine leg chased and returned
