Northern Superchargers sealed a comfortable seven-wicket victory over Southern Brave in the women’s final to win The Hundred for the first time.<\/b><\/p>\n
After restricting the previously unbeaten Brave to 115-6, Superchargers held their nerve chasing a modest total and got over the line with 12 balls to spare.<\/p>\n
While the batters, and in particular Davina Perrin, stole the show in their record-breaking win in Saturday’s Eliminator, it was the bowlers turn at Lord’s.<\/p>\n
Kate Cross took two wickets in two balls late in the powerplay to remove the dangerous Maia Bouchier and Laura Wolvaardt – the latter with a beauty that jagged back to hit leg stump.<\/p>\n
There were also two wickets for Australia all-rounder Annabel Sutherland as both she and Cross ended with figures of 2-23, while Freya Kemp top-scored for Brave with 26 from 17 balls.<\/p>\n
Superchargers made a solid start to the chase but Perrin was not able to match her heroics from The Oval, showing glimpses of her class before falling for 17.<\/p>\n
It was Phoebe Litchfield who swung the game firmly in Superchargers’ favour, hitting three fours and a six from her first four balls and, although she was dismissed for 26 from 13 balls, momentum stayed with the batting side.<\/p>\n
Sutherland anchored the innings, knowing the game situation meant risks could be kept to a minimum, especially with Nicola Carey showing more aggression at the other end.<\/p>\n
The pair put on an unbroken 60 for the fourth wicket, with Sutherland clubbing a straight six to secure the win in style.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
