... THE RUN CHASE ...
0.0

Balanced bowling effort until the last set- A well-calculated batting display has guided Leeds to a massive total of 166 on the board. While they missed out on a definitive individual blockbuster performance, the collective contributions across the line-up ensured a very healthy run rate throughout the 100 balls. Chasing 167 for victory represents a steep mountain to climb in this format, meaning the Sunrisers bowlers have a fine cushion to work with. Nevertheless, the Manchester dugout will remain quietly confident and fully back themselves to pull off the chase, given the immense depth and firepower packed into their batting line-up. With a spot in the Eliminator on the line, the winner will advance while the loser is knocked out of the tournament, we are guaranteed to see some fireworks.

Word from the Sunrisers camp - Phoebe Litchfield feels the surface is looking good, with the ball coming on nicely. She stresses the importance of varying the pace and not becoming too predictable, with anything nice and full sitting up to be hit. Mentions that once she got one away from the middle, she felt it was time to make the most of the Powerplay. Admits that the Manchester Super Giants have plenty of firepower, so they will need to bowl well.

Annabel anchors the innings - The centrepiece of the Leeds innings was a mature knock from Annabel, who anchored the batting effort beautifully till the end. Her calculated knock of 62 runs provided the necessary stability, allowing her partners to play with freedom around her and her injection of pace at the very end might just prove to be the difference between the two sides by the end. On the bowling front, the Super Giants delivered a performance that excelled in bits and pieces rather than a sustained collective effort. Mady Villiers was the pick of the bowlers with two crucial wickets, and Kathryn Bryce provided valuable support with one scalp of her own. Conversely, Sophie endured a tough outing on the field, proving unusually expensive by her own high standards. Mady Villiers was left with 5 balls in her tank while Ryana Macdonald-Gay was picked to bowl the last set of 5, in which she gave away 22 runs. Will this decision come back to haunt Meg Lanning?

Strong batting performance by Leeds - Asked to bat first, Sunrisers started their innings on the front foot thanks to an explosive cameo from Phoebe Litchfield. She took charge immediately in the Powerplay, racing to a quick-fire 27 in the blink of an eye to set a blistering tempo. While her early departure briefly halted the charge, the rest of the batting order maintained the scoring rate by capitalizing on their respective starts. Lauren Winfield-Hill and Bryony Smith chipped in with contributions in the 10s, while Danielle Gibson and Phoebe Litchfield looked dangerous during their stays in the 20s. However, just as the tourists looked primed for a massive final launch, the home side consistently struck at crucial junctures to break burgeoning partnerships, before Annabel Sutherland took charge and ended the inning with 3 sixes in a row to push the team total to 166.

SIX! A hat-trick of sixes from Annabel Sutherland to end the innings. 22 runs off the final set and Sunrisers Leeds Women finish on 166/4. Another off-pace ball by Ryana and she stays on the shorter side, on middle. Sutherland sets herself up on the back foot and pulls it over cow corner for a biggie.

SIX! That has gone back a long way. Annabel Sutherland brings up her FIFTY in style. Second half-century of the season for the Aussie all-rounder and it has come with a place in the Eliminator up for grabs. Pace off and into the wicket, on middle. Sutherland uses the depth of the crease to rock back and unleaeshes the pull over mid-wicket for half a dozen.

FOUR! Gets it through. Down leg, Sutherland manages to catch up with it and swats it wide of short fine leg. It travels quickly to the fielder and she is late to get the dive in.
18.3

Villiers gets away with it. Loopy full toss, around the high, Jonassen can't get it away and shovels it away on the bounce to short fine leg. The batters sneak in a quick single. A better throw from Smriti Mandhana could have found Sutherland in trouble.

FOUR! Launched down the ground. In the slot, on middle. Jonassen backs away, clears her front leg and tonks it back over the bowler's head for a four.

Sutherland lead the way - Earlier, the toss fell Manchester's way, but they were not at their best with the ball and could not put things together for long periods. Leeds found contributions across the board, but two Australians stood out with their impact. Up top, Phoebe Litchfield set the tone before Annabel Sutherland took over. She held the innings together before shifting into overdrive towards the back end to help Sunrisers post 166, the highest score in The Hundred Women's competition at Old Trafford.

The Super Giants fell well short - Smriti Mandhana provided a bright start to the chase, but could not convert it into a substantial innings. Once she fell, no one was able to maintain the momentum going and keep pace with the required rate. On a slower, drier wicket, Leeds took a cue from what had worked for Manchester earlier and made a conscious effort to take pace off the ball. Jess Jonassen led the way with a three-wicket haul, and the rest chimed in to put the chase beyond Manchester's reach.

PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Who else could it possibly be but Annabel Sutherland? A superb all-round performance from the Australian, with an unbeaten 62 off 36 balls, 2/17 with the ball and two catches to cap off a memorable outing. Sutherland says this might well be the most complete game she has played, and the fact that it comes with a spot in the next round at stake makes it even better. Annabel reckons that they just needed to stay calm, as they knew with a score like that on the board, Manchester Super Giants Women would come out strong, and just a couple of wickets were needed to change the momentum of the game.

Sunrisers are Eliminator bound - Set up by a strong batting effort, Leeds followed it up with a professional job with the ball to seal the deal. As they say, it is about peaking at the right time, and Danielle Gibson's side have certainly done that. After just one win from their first four games, they have now won four in a row to set up a date with Southern Brave in the Eliminator. Manchester Super Giants, meanwhile, oscillated between wins and losses in the second half of their campaign and could not find the consistency needed to secure an Eliminator berth.
19.5

FOUR! A boundary to end the game in a losing cause by Ryana Macdonald-Gay. Sunrisers Leeds Women win by 41 runs and advance to the Eliminator. Tossed up, around off, Ryana Macdonald-Gay thumps this down the ground, to the left of long on for four runs.
19.4

Pushed through on off, Bex Tyson drives this to long off for a single.

Fuller on middle and leg, Ryana Macdonald-Gay slogs this to the left of Phoebe Litchfield at deep mid-wicket for one. Catch it was the cry by Deepti, but Litchfield ran around a bit rather than charging in and gathered it on the bounce. Single taken.
