N S-Chargers vs Brave, 23rd Match at Leeds, Women's Hundred, Aug 31 2022 - Match Result
2.03pm Northern Superchargers have fallen out of the race for the playoffs, but they end their season with an impressive win. This, by the way, is Southern Brave's first defeat this season. Brave, though, could still top the table and head straight to the final if Oval Invincibles lose to Manchester Originals later in the day. That is all we have for you from this game. Do also join us for the Invincibles-Originals coverage. Cheers
Laura Wolvaardt is the Match Hero: It was lots of fun. I think we need to restrict them to less to qualify, bitter-sweet. I thought the girls played and fielded exceptionally well. We didn't have the ideal start, but we looked to hit it as deep as we could. Jenny hit some bombs later. It has been a long way on the road, excited to go back home, but I will miss my team-mates here
Shrubsole, Brave skipper: Really frustrated and we had it in control to go straight through to the finals. I will keep an eye on the other game and we have lost the right to be in control of things. Next few hours, I will be a massive Manchester Originals fan. I often say it's not a bad thing to lose, but it will sharpen our focus. I don't think it was complacency; we were just outplayed. We have to sharpen our focus and switch on again. I don't think you can win many chances when you are 20 odd for 3 and we gave away some extras to them. When three of our best batters are in the shed, you are not going to win too many games. It's amazing; Wellington is a great legspinner. We have Sarah Glenn, but don't think we have anyone like Wellington with her revs in our country.
wide yorker, squeezes underneath the bat. Good ball from Gunn
Gunn gets Bell this time. Mighty full and outside off, not quite the perfect yorker, but enough to have Bell miscuing it to long-on
Alice runs in from long-off, but the ball bounces in front of her. Just short of a yorker length on middle, chipped in the air
full and darted into middle and leg, down the track and swiped to long-on
Brave need 24 off the final set, which will be bowled by Gunn
slower short ball floated wide of off, Bell can't swing it away
banged in short and outside off, Bell slogs, loser her shape, and misses the ball altogether
full on middle and leg, shovelled away over mid-on for four
another short ball into the pitch, dragged away to deep midwicket
hip-high short ball outside off, Shrubsole lines it up and wallops it over wide long-on for a meaty six. Picks the slower ball and clears the boundary
Gunn runs in from long-off and pouches it. Kemp shuffles down the track, this is pushed away from her swinging arc. Kemp has to reach out for the ball. The bat turns in her hands as she holes out to Gunn
floated up outside off, sliced over the bowler's head, does not carry to long-off or long-on
uses her feet and inside-edges a slog-sweep to deep midwicket
short of a length and turns away outside off, flat-batted away to deep cover
dangled up outside off and breaks away, Shrubsole slogs to the leg side and misses
slogged away to deep midwicket off the inner half
down the track and chipped over the bowler's head
stabbed into the covers
middle-stump yorker, dug out to the leg side
swatted down to long-on. Kemp chances a second off the misfield but a sharp throw means Wellington is run-out
Superchargers, by the way, are out of contention for the knockouts
