Georgia Adams (Player of the Year): "Yeah, these girls make it easy for me, I have the bad habit of coming on and taking a few wickets in the end. It has been a pretty good tournament for me. It's been incredible and I am proud of my team. We came out and played really good cricket in the last two days."
Kirstie Gordon (Blaze Captain): Obviously a huge disappointment for not finishing the game today. Huge Congratulation to Southern Vipers, they got a brilliant team to win the trophy. Yeah, we wanna just to keep the play the way we play throughout the tournament, but obviously, overnight we are in the best position but it lots of cricket still to play, so we tried to get a good score on board and tried to defend it, we tried to kept fielder inside the ring to take risk but it wasn't to meet today.
Yeah, It's been unbelieve things, the girls were outstanding throughout the tournament, so unfortunate for us, we had maintained the unbeaten record but not happen in the final.

Earlier, yesterday, The Blaze won the toss and decided to bat first. They started their innings on a lackluster note as they lost a flurry of wickets in the first half of the innings and were reeling at 53/4 in the 9.3 overs, when the rain god made an appearance, leading to the abandonment of the match for the day.
On the reserve day, Marie Kelly and Sarah Glenn took charge for The Blaze. However, their fortunes did not change, and they could only manage a modest total of 114 runs in the allotted 20 overs. Marie Kelly emerged as the highest scorer for The Blaze, remaining unbeaten with 26 runs.
Chasing The Blaze's target of 114 runs, the Vipers made an explosive beginning with their openers, Maia Bouchier and Danni Wyatt, displaying a relentless attacking approach right from the first over. The duo made an impressive contribution, accumulating 61 runs without losing a single wicket during the powerplay phase. However, their partnership was eventually disrupted when Sarah Glenn of The Blaze bowled out Bouchier for 25 runs, thus concluding their 67-run alliance.
