The Cats made 2-124 from their 20 overs with Amy Miles top scoring with 43 not out having retired to give others an opportunity.

The Tigers were able to put on some partnerships, but fell short, making 3-106.

The Bulls made 5-111 from their 20 overs with Emily Kennedy and Sarah Bamford both making 24 each.

Dragons coach Brianna Woodburn was the pick of the bowlers, taking 2-20 off her four overs.

The Dragons started strongly before losing a couple of wickets. The side was able to steady and were sitting at 2-70.

As they went to push the run rate the wickets started to fall. The Dragons finished 8-86, having had just nine players bat.

Woodburn top scored with 29 before being run out and Ruby Watts made 22.
