Smriti Mandhana's outstanding performance, scoring 88 runs without being dismissed, propelled the Manchester Super Giants to a four-wicket victory over the SunRisers Leeds at Headingley. The SunRisers Leeds had a strong start, thanks to notable performances from Phoebe Litchfield and Annabel Sutherland, as well as a remarkable cameo by captain Dani Gibson, resulting in a total of 142 runs with only four wickets lost in 100 balls. However, Mandhana's unwavering determination and impressive batting skills helped her team overcome the challenging situation, reaching her half-century in just 33 balls.
After being dropped by Darcey Carter on 71, Mandhana capitalized on her second chance, hitting two consecutive sixes to secure the win for her team with five balls remaining. This victory maintains the Super Giants' unbeaten record, placing them second in The Hundred table with 10 points, while the SunRisers Leeds suffer their second loss, leaving them fifth with four points.
