Both teams went into the match on the back of defeats and a loss would have spelled the end of the Rockets' campaign.

But having won the toss and elected to bowl first the Rockets would have been delighted at the break to have limited the hosts to 109-7.

It was a curious innings for the home team who seemed to struggle to adapt to the surface, never able to kick on in terms of run-rate and kept in check throughout by the Rockets' spin trio of Kirstie Gordon, Alana King and Ash Gardner.
