Brilliant! Davidson-Richards has done it again! Morris heaves out to deep square leg and Smith makes no mistake coming in to take the catch. What a brilliant final set - two wickets and just 5 runs conceded. Gutsy display from Superchargers to turn things back there way at the death.
N S-Chargers vs Originals, 18th Match at Leeds, Women's Hundred, Aug 13 2023 - Match Result
2:13pm: Another thrilling finale in the women's Hundred, which has gone above and beyond this season and we're only at the halfway stage. Supercharges move into second, knocking Welsh Fire down to third and going level on 8 points with first-place Southern Brave. That's all from us - see you soon!
2:10pm: Unsurprisingly, Alice Davidson-Richards is your Match Hero. Not just because of that death over, or the 3 for 23 from her 15 deliveries but a useful cameo of 11 off 4 at the end of the Superchargers innings!
Five to win, four for a tie...
Short - very short - and slow - very slow - and AJW is right across the stumps and can only cloth one in the deep. Did Davidson-Richards mean to bowl it like that? Either way, it worked!
6 required off the final 2...
Charges again, has to skew one into the leg side again because of pace off. This time the throw goes into the nonstriker's end but safe once more
Pace off again, Wellington's dancing down the pitch and manages to get it away to deep midwicket. Wareham throws to the striker's end but the Australian has got back just in the nick of time
Amanda Jade Wellington comes out to the middle
Gone! What a wicket that is! Davidson-Richards takes pace off the ball and Lamb, pre-empting a scoop, ends up lifting the ball straight to Heath behind the stumps
Right, here we go - 10 needed off 5, ADR, who has closed out a few games, takes the ball
Morris tries and fails to reverse lap over the keeper. Gets outside the line of off stump so that the impact on pad is not an LBW shout, plus she can scamper a single
Lamb gives herself room on the leg side, Cross follows her and this is driven out to midwicket
Swings to the leg side for a single, fielded by deep midwicket
Fi Morris in
Crossy does it! Cross full and Ecclestone bunts back to the bowler for a simple return catch. There's a hint this may be a bump ball and Ecclestone is waiting around after walking but decides to carry on
Short and pulled out to backward square leg where Smith does the fielding
Another match flips in The Hundred! Just 14 needed from 10 and Kate Cross returns to see if she can undo her former side
Huge! Brilliant use of the feet from Ecclestone, gets right underneath a length delivery and carts it back over the bowler's head for six!
Flighted, not all that full, but swept away for a single to deep midwicket
Wide, very full and dug out to long on for a single
Moves across and sweeps in front of the stumps. Close to being bowled... but luckily Lamb gets some glove on it
Corrects the line on off stump and Ecclestone is down and sweeping once more for a single
Starts with a wide down the leg side. Ecclestone just needed a touch on it for four
Now then, 25 needed from 15! Linsey Smith returns with 10 left to bowl
Easy as for Ecclestone! Dragged down by Davidson-Richards and worked around the corner! 17 off this five...
Brilliant slower delivery flummoxes Lamb who tries and fails to attempt the sweep. It almost fools the keeper too, who manages to dive across and get a hand to stop it running away for four
What a strike! Bit short again and Lamb swings across the line. It doesn't look like she's connected all that well with it, but it flies just beyond Wareham pressed right back on the midwicket sponge. 12 off the first 3 of this set...
Typical... Right after the drop, bit of width and Lamb crunches a cut shot for four in front of point
