Scorecard<\/a>. Table<\/a><\/p>\n

In the earlier women’s match, Jemimah Rodrigues struck an unbeaten 42 to guide Southern Brave to a five-wicket victory against Sunrisers Leeds and maintain their perfect start to The Hundred.<\/p>\n

The Indian batter, who played a starring role in her country’s maiden ODI World Cup triumph<\/a> last year, helped Brave recover from a difficult start to their chase of 117 and hit the winning runs with four balls to spare.<\/p>\n

It was the Brave’s second win from as many matches in the women’s competition.<\/p>\n

Sunrisers pacer Cassidy McCarthy had removed both Lizelle Lee and Maia Bouchier with superb inswingers, while South Africa skipper Laura Wolvaardt also fell cheaply as Brave fell to 36-3 after 40 balls at Headingley.<\/p>\n

But Rodrigues partnered with captain Sophie Molineux (21) to steady their innings before finding crucial boundaries in the closing stages to wrap up the win. <\/p>\n

Earlier, Bryony Smith scored 48 from 34 balls for Sunrisers, but Issy Wong claimed 3-15 and Tilly Corteen-Coleman registered 2-25 to keep their scoring in check.<\/p>\n

Sunrisers looked well set at 78-2 but lost eight wickets in adding the final 38 runs, suffering a dramatic collapse to be bowled out for 116 – a total that proved difficult to defend. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Hundred women’s competition, Headingley Sunrisers Leeds 116 all out (100 balls): Smith 48 (34); Wong 3-15 Southern…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":823664,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85],"class_list":["post-823663","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\/823663","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=823663"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/823663\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/823664"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=823663"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=823663"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=823663"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
