South African allrounder Marizanne Kapp starred with both ball and bat, taking 3 for 8 from her 20 balls and scoring an unbeaten 26 to guide the Invincibles home. "I'm just happy to get over the line today," Kapp said. "I've been in that situation a lot of times for all the franchises I've played for around the world, so it helps a lot.
I can't think about [the eliminator] at the moment: today was too stressful. But I'm happy to go through." Chasing 92 to win, the Invincibles started the chase positively, Sri Lanka's Chamari Athapaththu striking three early boundaries before falling caught at long-off to the offspin of Ashleigh Gardner for 16.
