Having lost to the same opponent in the corresponding fixture last season, the visitors batted first and proved difficult to dismiss as four of the top five retired having faced their full 25-ball allotment.
Openers Katie Broad and Belinda Blackberry both made 10 with Tracey Miller (19) and Maxine Woods (17) also reaching double figures in a total of 3-117 off 20 overs.
Carmel Chilcott, captain Cassie Walker and Amy Buettel each picked up a wicket with the latter pair both starring early with the bat in Bracknell's chase.

Buettel made it to 11 before being caught and bowled off her 25th ball while Walker top-scored with a run-a-ball 30 that included four boundaries.
Sophie Johns (11) then helped the hosts reach 3-80 but it was all Trevallyn from thereon in as the visitors cleaned up the rest of the batting order for just 19 runs as Bracknell finished 9-99.
Emma Elliot (2-6 off two overs) and Woods (2-9 off three) inflicted much of the damage with the latter also fashioning a run-out to add to her player-of-the-match performance.
Trevallyn will meet two-time TCL Boom champions Longford in the grand final next Sunday morning.
