Kate Cross managed to score two runs off the final ball, resulting in a historic tie between Northern Superchargers and Southern Brave in The Hundred. The match was tense and nerve-wracking throughout, with the Superchargers chasing a total of 100 runs on a challenging pitch. Southern Brave, led by captain Georgia Adams, capitalized on the conditions and maintained pressure on the Superchargers throughout the chase. Lauren Bell’s exceptional performance with the ball, taking 4-11, was a standout moment in the game.
Despite a scrappy batting effort in the first innings, both Phoebe Litchfield and Alice Davidson-Richards looked to have the chase under control for the Superchargers. However, momentum shifted back and forth throughout the match, leading to their dismissals at crucial moments. Southern Brave managed to reach a total just enough to prevent the Superchargers from surpassing them, resulting in a tie.
Player of the match, Lauren Bell, expressed the rollercoaster of emotions during the game and highlighted the importance of staying focused ball by ball in crucial moments.
