Rain cuts off Perry in full flow in her Hundred closer

The weather rolled into Edgbaston on Thursday with Phoenix 2-98, and settled in thereafter.

Phoenix captain Perry was the dominant figure of the play that was possible, batting beautifully to reach 45 from 39 balls, but with Perry and Amy Jones in the midst of building a useful partnership, the weather cut them off in their prime with 30 balls still remaining in the innings.

Earlier, Lauren Filer bowled with pace and fire to remove Sterre Kalis for 18, and Phoebe Graham picked up Fran Wilson for 18, but that was as good as it got for the Originals.

The finals take place this weekend with Oval Invincibles (Laura Harris, Amanda Jade-Wellington) meeting London Spirit (Meg Lanning, Grace Harris, Georgia Redmayne) at The Oval on Saturday for the right to play Jess Jonassen's Welsh Fire in the final at Lord's on Sunday.
