Indian all-rounder Deepti Sharma played a key role for Sunrisers Leeds in the final stages of the chase, finishing with figures of 2 for 21 from her 15 balls against Manchester Super Giants at Old Trafford. She removed Mady Villiers and Maitlan Brown in successive overs in the innings, both caught by Annabel Sutherland at long-on, as Super Giants resistance crumbled. It was a crucial must win game for Sunrisers Leeds and they delivered a clinical performance. They posted 166 for four and then bowled out Manchester Super Giants to win by 41 runs clinching the last playoff place in the Women’s Hundred and sending their Super Giants crashing out.

The win pushed Sunrisers Leeds into second place and set up an Eliminator clash with Southern Brave at The Oval on Friday. The winner of that match will face table-topping Trent Rockets in the final at Lord’s on Sunday. Manchester Super Giants crash out of the tournament with this loss. Deepti Sharma's double strike helped Sunrisers finish things off. This video has gone viral on social media. She first dismissed Mady Villiers with a clever change of length that saw the batter mistime a shot to long-on, then trapping Brown the same way two balls later.

Annabel Sutherland stars with all-round brilliance as Sunrisers outclass Manchester Super Giants

Manchester Super Giants won the toss and opted to bowl. Sunrisers made a flying start through Phoebe Litchfield, who smashed 27 off just 12 balls with five fours and a six before miscuing a pull to mid-wicket off Villiers. Bryony Smith made 17 and Lauren Winfield-Hill contributed 20 before being run out. Captain Dani Gibson added a brisk 24 off 13, but the innings belonged to Annabel Sutherland. The Australian all-rounder finished unbeaten on 62 from 36 balls smashing six fours and three sixes, and was named Player of the Match for her complete performance. Jess Jonassen chipped in with an unbeaten 10 as Sunrisers reached a competitive 166 for four. Villiers was the pick of the Super Giants attack with 2 for 25.

Chasing 167, Super Giants never found fluency. Smriti Mandhana looked dangerous, making 28 off 17 with four fours and a six, before Jess Jonassen produced a beauty that beat her in the flight and crashed into off stump. Grace Scrivens top-scored with 31 off 24, but Sutherland had her stumped by Winfield-Hill. Richa Ghosh fell for 13, another victim of Jonassen, who finished with excellent figures of 3 for 21. Meg Lanning struggled for timing before Jonassen bowled her as well. In a moment of desperation, Super Giants even retired Kathryn Bryce out after she made 15 from 14. Sutherland claimed two wickets of her own for just 17 runs, including Sophie Ecclestone. They ended with 125 and lost the match.
