The Blaze captain Kirstie Gordon sent the Sunrisers in and her team did an excellent job of restricting their opponents.

Apart from Scrivens’ 42, no other batter scored more than 22 while the best partnership of the innings was 35 between Joanne Gardner (22) and Jodi Grewcock for the fifth wicket.

Gordon herself and Australia all-rounder Heather Graham led the way with the ball, both picking up two wickets.

In reply, The Blaze lost Tammy Beaumont first ball, lbw to Grewcock, but fellow opener Marie Kelly smashed 23 off 18 balls.

When she fell, they were 40-2 in the sixth over, as Sarah Bryce joined older sister Kathryn at the crease.

Scotland captain Kathryn has been in great form in this competition and that continued as her 37-ball knock contained 10 fours as she passed 50 for the fourth time.

It was a first fifty of the season for wicketkeeper Sarah as her effort came off 35 balls with six fours and two sixes as the sisters sealed victory with 29 balls to spare.

Defeat for Sunrisers leaves them in seventh, nine points adrift of the top four with only two games left and almost certain to miss out on Finals Day.
