Scorecard<\/a>. Table<\/a><\/p>\n Sunrisers Leeds secured their spot in the knockout phase of The Hundred at the expense of opponents Manchester Super Giants after an emphatic 41-run victory at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n Set 167 to win in favourable batting conditions, the Super Giants’ chase never got going – even retiring one of their players out in desperation – as they froze in the baking Manchester sunshine.<\/p>\n Jess Jonassen, who claimed 3-21, did the early damage for the Sunrisers when she captured the key wickets of Smriti Mandhana and Richa Ghosh for 28 and 13 and the Super Giants never recovered.<\/p>\n The Sunrisers leapfrogged the Super Giants into the top three and will face Southern Brave in the Eliminator at The Oval on Friday.<\/p>\n Trent Rockets await the winner of that match in Sunday’s final at Lord’s.<\/p>\n The Sunrisers bowling attack – backed up by some superb fielding – exerted scoreboard pressure despite the best efforts of Grace Scrivens, who top-scored for the Super Giants with 31 off 24 balls.<\/p>\n Such was the desperation during their reply that Kathryn Bryce was retired out by the Super Giants after making 15 from 14 balls.<\/p>\n Remarkably, it is the second time Bryce has been out this way in The Hundred, having been retired out while playing for the Manchester Originals against Northern Superchargers in August 2024.<\/p>\n Former Australia skipper Meg Lanning also struggled for timing before she was bowled by Jonassen for 10 after chewing up 15 deliveries.<\/p>\n The end of the game became a procession as Annabel Sutherland and Deepti Sharma claimed 2-17 and 2-21 respectively.<\/p>\n Earlier, the Sunrisers had posted 166-4 thanks to an unbeaten 62 from Sutherland.<\/p>\n Opener Phoebe Litchfield had set the tone after she whacked 27 off 12 balls before miscuing a pull to mid-wicket off Mady Villiers.<\/p>\n Australia all-rounder Sutherland continued the momentum when she arrived at the crease – hammering three sixes and six fours in her 36-ball innings.<\/p>\n Sunrisers skipper Dani Gibson chipped in with a useful 24 off 13 balls before she was snared by Villiers, who finished the pick of the Super Giants attack with 2-25.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Hundred women’s competition, Old Trafford Sunrisers Leeds 166-4 (100 balls): Sutherland 62* (36); Villiers 2-25 Manchester Super…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":734828,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-734827","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\/734827","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=734827"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/734827\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/734828"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=734827"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=734827"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=734827"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
