Scorecard<\/a>. Table<\/a><\/p>\n Sunrisers Leeds put three sides out of contention for the Hundred’s knock-out stage with a comprehensive nine-wicket win over Birmingham Phoenix at Edgbaston.<\/p>\n The home side, MI London and London Spirit can no longer progress after Phoebe Litchfield’s unbeaten 33-ball 71 helped take Sunrisers past their target of 108 with 31 balls to spare.<\/p>\n Opener Litchfield brought up the fastest ever half-century in the competition, reaching the landmark off 20 deliveries, and hit 13 fours and one six in her innings.<\/p>\n Bryony Smith was the only Sunrisers batter to fall, caught by Alana King off Fatima Sana for 12, with Lauren Winfield-Hill (26) joining Litchfield to put on an unbroken partnership of 87.<\/p>\n Only two Phoenix batters made it into double figures after they were put into bat, with Ellyse Perry and Emma Lamb scoring 31 and 47 respectively, while Deepti Sharma (3-11) and Kate Cross (2-14) impressed for the visitors.<\/p>\n Lamb was the last batter dismissed, run out by Litchfield, as Phoenix lost four wickets for five runs before closing on 107-9.<\/p>\n Sunrisers move above Welsh Fire into fourth and within two points of Manchester Super Giants in the last knock-out place, with all sides now having played six matches.<\/p>\n Bottom-side Phoenix and the London teams, with whom they are level on six points, will only be playing for pride in their last two fixtures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Hundred women’s competition, Edgbaston Birmingham Phoenix 107-9 (100 balls): Lamb 47 (34); Deepti 3-11 Sunrisers Leeds 111-1…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":730753,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-730752","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/730752","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=730752"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/730752\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/730753"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=730752"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=730752"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=730752"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
