Smriti Mandhana's dominant 88not out propelled the Manchester Super Giants to a thrilling four-wicket victory over the SunRisers Leeds at Headingley. Despite strong showings from Australian players Phoebe Litchfield and Annabel Sutherland, who contributed 31 and 35 runs respectively, and a notable cameo from captain Dani Gibson, the SunRisers' total of 142 seemed defendable. However, Mandhana's impressive half-century from just 33 balls helped turn the tide. After a dramatic collapse that saw the Super Giants lose four wickets for 10 runs, Mandhana's unwavering resolve and a crucial dropped catch on the boundary allowed her to seal the win with two consecutive sixes and five balls to spare, maintaining her team's unbeaten streak and securing second place in The Hundred standings with 10 points.
