Scorecard<\/a>. Table<\/a><\/p>\n Ellyse Perry hit a superb unbeaten half-century to lead Birmingham Phoenix to a five-wicket victory over MI London in The Hundred.<\/p>\n The Australia great finished on 62 not out from 39 balls as Phoenix, set 121 to win, got over the line with six balls to spare at Edgbaston.<\/p>\n It is just a second win of a difficult campaign for Phoenix but one that ensures they leapfrog MI London and avoid finishing bottom of the women’s table.<\/p>\n Having opted to chase, Phoenix were quickly on top as they reduced MI London to 29-3 and then 47-4, before a 57-run stand between West Indies’ Chinelle Henry and captain Hollie Armitage helped get the visitors up to 120-6.<\/p>\n It looked like being enough as Phoenix lost Alice Capsey and Emma Lamb in quick succession to slip to 48-4 in reply.<\/p>\n But Perry remained and the 35-year-old showed all of her class and experience to control the chase from there.<\/p>\n Fatima Sana provided the support Perry needed, scoring 36 from 32 in a fifth-wicket partnership of 66.<\/p>\n The Pakistan skipper couldn’t quite see it through and it was left to Perry, who hit seven fours and two sixes in a classy knock, to finish the job – drilling a four through mid-off to level the scores before winning it with a delicate scoop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Hundred women’s competition, Edgbaston MI London 120-6 (100 balls): Henry 42 (33); Gray 2-29 Birmingham Phoenix 121-5…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":852918,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85],"class_list":["post-852917","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\/852917","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=852917"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/852917\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/852918"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=852917"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=852917"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=852917"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
