Tara Norris to Dunkley, no run, good start for Norris! She swings in a length ball from around off, Dunkley is rooted to the crease as she pushes at it and gets an inside edge onto the pads

Dunkley and Beaumont are at the crease. Dunkley is on strike. Tara Norris will open the attack

The players and the umpires make their way to the middle.

Pitch Report: It looks beautiful, the ball has moved a little bit more, there's 5-6mm of grass but it's not live grass, it looks good for batting. I would have done the same as Heather Knight. It looks like a very good pitch, I would expect Welsh Fire to put up a good score on the board. It's pretty hard as well, reckon Stuart Broad and Eoin Morgan

It's a bright and sunny day in London - perfect conditions for playing cricket.

Teams:

Welsh Fire Women (Playing XI): Sophia Dunkley, Tammy Beaumont(c), Hayley Matthews, Sarah Bryce(w), Jess Jonassen, Georgia Elwiss, Phoebe Franklin, Ella McCaughan, Freya Davies, Georgia Davis, Shabnim Ismail

Tammy Beaumont: We would have liked to bowl too. We have had contributions from everyone in the team

London Spirit Women have won the toss and have opted to field

Heather Knight: We are gonna have a bowl, chasing we have generally done brilliantly. Really pleasing, didn't think much time to think about the finals and got a good night's sleep.

London Spirit Women have won the toss and have opted to field

London Spirit, on the other hand, arrive to their home ground having won two must-win games. They first toppled the Northern Superchargers convincingly to make it to the Eliminator. They were up against the two-time champions, Oval Invincibles, in the Eliminator. Having restricted Invincibles to 113 on the back of a disciplined bowling performance, Spirit planned their run-chase to perfection. Redmayne’s anchored the innings with an unbeaten fifty while Heather Knight played a classy knock to take their side home. Just like Fire, Spirit have made it to the final for the first time. We are going to have a new winner this time around. These two sides met once in the league stage this season and Fire emerged victorious. The team that pressure handles better will be the favorites. Stick around for the toss and team lineups…

Hayley Matthews has been a revelation for Fire and she starred once again to take a 4-fer and score an unbeaten 35 against Brave. Beaumont’s unbeaten fifty was the icing on the cake.
