Tahlia Wilson, 55* (44), has been named Player of the Match, a somewhat disappointing call (top scorer for the winning team to be sure, and given the margin of victory it had to be a Thunder player - sorry Katie Mack - but I would have preferred either Bates or Litchfield, in the order listed, to have got the award).

Litchfield ends the chase in style with a six that also brings up her half century off 35 balls. Thunder 154-1 have won by nine wickets with 1.4 overs to spare. Litchfield is a candidate for Player of the Match, but I would still go for Bates as indicated earlier.

End of the 18th and Thunder are 144-1, needing just seven more to win off the last two overs at 3.50 per over, current RR 8.00.

With Thunder now so far ahead as to be basically unjinxable I will now venture my suggestion for Player of the Match: Samantha Bates for her 4-0-18-1, which played a huge role in restricting Scorchers to 150.

End of the 17th over and Thunder are 134-1, needing 17 from the last three overs at 5.67 per over, current RR 7.88 per over.

Four overs left and Thunder are 122-1, needing 29 more to win at 7.25 per over, current RR 7.63 per over. Power Surge activated for overs 17 and 18.

Four to Litchfield to end the 15th over. Thunder are 114-1, needing 37 off the last five overs at 7.40 per over, current RR 7.60.

End of the 14th over and Thunder are 103-1, needing 48 from the last six overs at 8.00 per over, current RR 7.36 per over. For the first time this innings the required and current run rates are the wrong way round for Thunder. No worries yet, they are still heavy favourites, but a couple more cheap overs for Scorchers could get the nerves jangling.

End of the 13th over and Thunder are 98-1, needing 53 off the last seven at 7.57 per over, current RR 7.54.
