Oval Invincibles defended their Hundred title and have two of the two tournaments so far, after chasing a 102-run target with five wickets and six balls to spare against Southern Brave.

South Africa's Marizanne Kapp stared with the bat with an innings of 33-ball 37 to drive her team home after several speed breakers on their way, as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals.

Kapp came in to bat at 33/2 and saw another wicket going down before any further runs could be scored. But she held her nerves and ensured that the target is chased.

The match proved to be a rematch of the last year's final as the same teams competed with a similar outcome.
