Southern Brave Women beat Northern Superchargers Women by 5 wickets
Right then! We have witnessed a pretty one-sided affair in this encounter. The action in the third edition of The Hundred Women's Competition continues as match 9 will start shortly between Oval Invincibles Women and Welsh Fire Women at the Kennington Oval in London. The first ball will be bowled at 7 pm IST (1.30 pm GMT) but the build-up is about to begin. Do switch tabs to catch our coverage. From here, it is goodbye and cheers!
Rhianna Southby is the Player of the Match for her remarkable performance behind the stumps. She says she feels amazing and she just gave her best. Adds that the under edge is a bit difficult to take as they need to get low to take it. Ends by saying that they are happy with the win and they are confident as a group.
The game was half-won for Southern Brave Women in the first inning as they managed to restrict Northern Superchargers Women to a really low score. Georgia Adams claimed three wickets with Chloe Tryon and Anya Shrubsole chipping in with two wickets each. Marie Kelly and the skipper Hollie Armitage got off to starts for the visitors but could not build on it to take the team to a fighting total. They left the bowlers with an impossible task against a strong batting unit and in the end, too much was left for the bowler's to achieve.
Danni Wyatt got going early scoring 20 runs in 18 balls and the 45-run second-wicket partnership between Smriti Mandhana and Maia Bouchier in 34 deliveries took the game away from the opponents. Mandhana came into this match on the back of two half-centuries and would be disappointed she could not take her team home. Maia Bouchier was the main aggressor as she accumulated 31 in 28 balls with Chloe Tryon providing the finishing touches to help the hosts get over the finish line with ease.
Southern Brave Women have registered a comprehensive win despite the late stutter towards the end! They have won by 5 wickets with 13 balls to spare registering their second win in three games. Northern Superchargers Women have lost their first game in this edition and will be really disappointed with their batting effort. There were not enough runs for the bowlers to bowl at and despite a late flurry of wickets, they were well and truly behind in the game. Linsey Smith and Georgia Wareham were really good claiming two wickets each while bowling economically and Kate Cross chipped in with one wicket. The rest of the bowlers were a bit expensive but take positives from their effort.

Freya Kemp looks to make room and cut this away but misses and watches her stumps get shattered! Southern Brave Women have now lost half their side in a flash and still need 13 runs to win. Northern Superchargers Women will have some hope now and will be hoping for a few more quick wickets.
