And that's a wrap from this match! The action continues in The Women's Hundred as we have a game lined up next between the Birmingham Phoenix Women and the London Spirit Women. The build up for the game has already started so do switch tabs and enjoy the coverage of that game. Cheers!
Deandra Dottin is the Hero of the Match. She says that it was a great game for them. She focused on reading the conditions, taking balls deep, and getting the team to a good total. She noted the importance of playing the slower balls and dealing with extra bounce. She said that the confidence is high and they will be looking to carry on with the same momentum.
Earlier in the match, Manchester Originals Women posted 117 after a blistering 51 from Deandra Dottin. The start was tricky as Kathryn Bryce fell and Beth Mooney fell early, leaving 23/2 at the powerplay. Amelia Kerr and Seren Smale steadied things, but both fell for 20 and 15 respectively, before Dottin and a late surge gave the total momentum. For Northern Superchargers, Women Kate Cross led the way for the bowlers, finishing 2/21. Higham, Sutherland, and Carey also chipped in with a wicket each.
Litchfield contributed 31 but departed. Alice Davidson-Richards followed soon after, stumped on 29, as the Originals pulled back. Annabel Sutherland and captain Hollie Armitage fell in quick succession too, leaving the uphill task still within reach for the Northern Superchargers Women. Nicola Carey steadied the ship for a while, but despite a late flourish, the chase fizzled on the final over, sealing a hard-fought home win for Manchester Originals Women. Kathryn Bryce, Sophie Ecclestone, and Amelia Kerr each claimed two wickets as the hosts defended the total successfully.
Manchester Originals Women have defended a tight target at their home ground, emerging victorious by just five runs! The chase began cautiously for the Superchargers Women, with Davina Perrin clocking 10 before falling in the third over. Alice Davidson-Richards and Phoebe Litchfield anchored the innings, taking their time to settle in while the score ticked along. The partnership then found momentum, pushing the stand beyond fifty and giving the chase a glimmer of hope.
