Annabel Sutherland, Match Hero: thought the girls with the bat did really good job, (Litchfield) in particular, came out hard on a very good wicket and then the bowlers again just getting the job done. (on surface) definitely felt like you could hit through the line of the ball and trust your swing. The way the girls defended probably made it look like there was bit more in it than there was so really proud of the group. (at half-time) thought we made a little but under just because it felt like such a good wicket
Northern Superchargers have won this battle at a canter, completely routing Manchester Originals as 138 proved too stiff for them. Wolvaardt got a start, but her dismissal kept bringing wickets for the Superchargers. Lamb got 12, Bryce 13, and then Lauren Filer provided some entertainment with a brisk 20 but there was no innings of substance and impact. Kate Cross was the pick of the bowlers, picking up 4 wickets in 16 balls, Smith got 2, and everyone else chipped in, not allowing Originals to get off the hook at any stage. It seemed like the batting lacked confidence once Wolvaardt got out. The rivalry didn't live up to its expectations today as Superchargers were exceptional in all departments. Sutherland bags another match hero award, continuing her stellar run. Earlier, the turbo-charged stand between Litchfield and Sutherland was the major turning point as they put an imposing total on the board. Lauren Filer from the Originals fought hard with both bat and ball but didn't get much support from her teammates. It felt like the early wicket of Wolvaardt took away the confidence from the camp and they doubted their ability to chase the score, perhaps relying too heavily on the openers. That's it from this game. A happy day for the Superchargers who are picking up winning momentum. Keep following Hundred action. For now, it's goodbye from me, Rvel Zahid, and Ranjith P.
