A few front-foot no-balls blemishing the bowling extras column towards the end of that innings, but Sunrisers Leeds still made it through a full innings without bowling a wide.
This has only happened 12 times out of 238 full hundred-ball innings in the history of the competition.

You feel like it won't be enough.
I just don't see how it's enough with the way Sunrisers Leeds have been playing throughout this competition.
I think this is now their game to lose.
Thanks, Adwaidh.
Yep, it looks a tough ask for Southern Brave now. They've got a strong bowling attack, led by Lauren Bell, but the Sunrisers Leeds batting line-up is loaded.
The chasing side will certainly be fancying their chances and WinViz does as well...
Image source, CricVizYou do wonder whether Southern Brave have enough on the board after reaching 114-7 from their 100 balls.
The Oval has favoured sides batting second this season and Brave now have their work cut out to defend against a powerful Sunrisers Leeds batting line-up.
To take you through the chase, here's my colleague Sam Drury.
Wong run out (Gibson/Winfield-Hill) 4 (114-7)
Sophie Molineux fails to dispatch a free hit from Annabel Sutherland's penultimate ball before Issy Wong is run out while scrambling for single from the final ball.
It all means Sunrisers Leeds will need to chase 115 to book a final against Trent Rockets on Sunday.

There has been a really clear two-pronged plan from the Sunrisers Leeds bowlers today; either targeting the fourth stump line or homing in on the pads the other side of the stumps. Only 17% of all their deliveries have been going on to hit the stumps today, this is the second lowest of any innings in the competition this year.

I think that's a drop.
She's not read it properly Dani Gibson.
It's the hat-trick ball from Annabel Sutherland.
Issy Wong thumps it towards the boundary, but Sunrisers Leeds captain Dani Gibson cannot cling on despite a dive near the rope.
Dattani c Smith b Sutherland 5 (Brave 108-6)
Annabel Sutherland is one a hat-trick!
New batter Naomi Dattani sends the ball she faces high up in the sky and Bryony Smith settles under it to take a routine catch.

We've seen Phoebe Litchfield drop those in the last couple of games and it's so unlike her.
But she made it look very simple in the end.
Grewcock c Litchfield b Sutherland 5 (Brave 108-5)
Jodi Grewcock looks for a big one but can only send it into the hands of Phoebe Litchfield.
Naomi Dattani is the new batter in.

Southern Brave's run to the Eliminator has been a curious one because their batting has never really got going, and they've obviously been set back further by Jemimah Rodrigues' injury.
Their highest total when batting first has been 140, which was against a poor Birmingham Phoenix side, but largely have relied on their bowlers getting them out of trouble.
They also come into this game after three straight defeats while Sunrisers won their last four on the bounce. That contrast in confidence is clear at the moment.
Jodi Grewcock cannot quite make the most of the freehit yet again, managing only a couple.
Annabel Sutherland will bowl the final five.

That's not good as a spinner.
Deepti Sharma been one of the more expensive bowlers today.
She's got to get that foot behind the line.
Sophie Molineux lifts the free hit into the hands of fielder, but Southern Brave run two.
Oh, it's another no-ball!
100 comes up for Sunrisers Leeds.
But wait a moment, Deepti Sharma has overstepped from her final delivery and Southern Brave have a free hit.
Deepti Sharma into the attack and it's a great stop from Phoebe Litchfield near the boundary rope to save two runs.
Often it's the fine margins that decide these knockout ties and there was commitment aplenty from the Sunrisers Leeds fielder there.
Annabell Sutherland into the attack and a good piece of fielding denies Southern Brave a certain boundary and saves Sunrisers Leeds three runs off her first ball.
But Sophie Molineux gets an inside edge off her fourth ball and it rolls away to the rope behind the wicket.
The final 10 deliveries of this innings to come now.
Hannah Baker's spell comes to an end but she can be proud of her showing today.
She ends up conceding just 13 and picking up two important wickets for Sunrisers Leeds today.

Brave's batting is never brave. The most cautious batters have let their bowlers down in virtually every game putting too much pressure on them. See off Bell win the game.
