So, the Superchargers coast home with eight wickets in hand and gyrate to victory with minimal fuss. It was a flawless knock from the youngster brimming with talent--she completely deflated the Rockets with her pyrotechnics. Perrin was striking at 180, smashing 12 fours in an utterly domineering innings, leaving light work for Litchfield and Sutherland to finish things off. It's a huge statement win for the Superchargers, who now look like strong contenders to win this year's edition. They've covered all bases and have several players firing on all cylinders. Trent Rockets, on the other hand, were nowhere near the quality of their opponents and it turned out to be a mismatch. Gardner was the only bright spot; her quickfire 62 gave them something to fight for, but on a batting-friendly wicket, 128 was never going to be enough
DaWolf: "Lovely cameo from Litchfield. Wicket lost but NSC are much closer to the win because of her aggression. The right way to use wickets in hand."
Hypocaust: "Davina Perrin is the third youngest player (18y 336d) to make a fifty in The Hundred Women's competition, and this was also the joint fastest fifty (28 balls) made in the competition by a player without an international cap."
John ANDREW: "Good aggressive bowling from Superchargers but woeful batting by Rockets - nobody trying to play themselves in but well done Superchargers. All down to NSB as usual ..."
Raji: "Can't help but wonder how Wareham, JJ, Sophie, and Ash are setting the standard for other teams with their all-round performances--be it with the ball, the bat, or in the field. And of course, that's not even counting legends like Pez."
Sutherland reverse sweeps it and nobody moved as the ball dribbles away to the rope at deep backward point, 18-year old leads the way with a big smile on her face which was a constant throughout her knock!
