Sciver produces her best, but Brave sneak through
Nat Sciver failed to get Rockets past Brave's total (PC: Twitter)
In response to the chase, the Rockets were off to a stable start with the openers Smith (16) and Elyse Villani, who added 40 runs at a brisk rate.
Arriving at number three, Sciver was sensational with her ball-striking capabilities to increase the tempo and put the team in good stead. However, she ran out of partners in the middle-overs.
With 22 needed from the last four balls, Sciver smacked three successive sixes on the trot, but failed to connect the last delivery, and remained unbeaten on 72 off 36.
McGrath and Adams contributed with the ball as well to take two wickets each.
