Amanda-Jade Wellington's love affair with English cricket's Women's Hundred tournament continues to blossom with another brilliant spinning performance from the competition's top wicket taker.
Australian wizard Wellington bamboozled Trent Rockets, taking 3-18 for Southern Brave as the Southampton-based outfit maintained their unbeaten record with a 10-wicket win at the Rose Bowl.
And she won her duels with her Australian teammates Elyse Villani and Alana King, dismissing them both in Thursday's crushing victory.
The Adelaide legspinner also took the key wicket of Rockets' captain Nat Sciver, getting the star England allrounder stumped off a tempting wide one as she took her tally in five matches to a league-leading 11 wickets.
Only Wellington's teammate Lauren Bell is now currently within two wickets of her haul as the England fast bowler ended with dazzling figures of 4-10 to win the player of the match award.
Wellington's efforts help reduce the Rockets to 8-88, a total which openers Smriti Mandhana (57no off 31 balls) and Danni Wyatt (36no off 25) knocked off with ease.
Not even King, who's been excellent in the tournament with six wickets, could halt the flow of runs, going for 23 off her wcketless 10 balls.
Brave now have a perfect record of five straight wins and will go straight to the final if they beat Northern Superchargers or if Oval Invincibles and Birmingham Phoenix slip up in their final two fixtures.
Villani had looked well set on 25 off as many balls when Wellington snared her and she also got King caught at slip while attempting a reverse sweep.
The win with 44 balls remaining was the quickest in terms of balls used up in a chase across both years of the women's Hundred.
