Australian Annabel Sutherland starred with both bat and ball as her team Northern Superchargers won their first women’s title in English cricket’s Hundred with a seven-wicket win over Southern Brave in Sunday’s final at Lord’s.<\/p>\n
The 23-year-old pace bowler took 2-23 in her maximum 20 balls — the same figures as England veteran Kate Cross.<\/p>\n
Their returns helped restrict the Brave, who had made history in the 100 balls per side tournament by winning all eight of their group stage games, to 115-6.<\/p>\n
Then, in front of a bumper crowd of 22,542 at the ‘Home of Cricket, Sutherland’s 28 not out helped put the result beyond doubt after the Superchargers had faltered at 59-3.<\/p>\n
Sutherland shared an unbroken stand of 60 with compatriot Nicola Carey (35 not out) and ended the match in style thanks to a six down the ground as the Superchargers won with 12 balls to spare.<\/p>\n
English teenager Davina Perrin, fresh from a superb 42 ball-century in the Superchargers’ eliminator win over London Spirit at the Oval on Saturday, looked in good touch again before she fell to New Zealand great Sophie Devine for 17.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Australian Annabel Sutherland starred with both bat and ball as her team Northern Superchargers won their first women’s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":109101,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85],"class_list":["post-109100","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cricket","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109100","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=109100"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109100\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/109101"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=109100"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=109100"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=109100"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
