Scorecard. Table

Jemimah Rodrigues struck an unbeaten 42 to guide Southern Brave to a five-wicket victory against Sunrisers Leeds and maintain their perfect start to The Hundred.

The Indian batter, who played a starring role in her country’s maiden ODI World Cup triumph last year, helped Brave recover from a difficult start to their chase of 117 and hit the winning runs with four balls to spare.

It was the Brave’s second win from as many matches in the women’s competition.

Sunrisers pacer Cassidy McCarthy had removed both Lizelle Lee and Maia Bouchier with superb inswingers, while South Africa skipper Laura Wolvaardt also fell cheaply as Brave fell to 36-3 after 40 balls at Headingley.

But Rodrigues partnered with captain Sophie Molineux (21) to steady their innings before finding crucial boundaries in the closing stages to wrap up the win.

Earlier, Bryony Smith scored 48 from 34 balls for Sunrisers, but Issy Wong claimed 3-15 and Tilly Corteen-Coleman registered 2-25 to keep their scoring in check.

Sunrisers looked well set at 78-2 but lost eight wickets in adding the final 38 runs, suffering a dramatic collapse to be bowled out for 116 – a total that proved difficult to defend.

Premier Sports Cup: St Johnstone crash out – round-up

Published

on

St Johnstone crashed out the Premier Sports Cup thanks to East Fife’s dramatic stoppage-time equaliser, but Premiership rivals Dundee United squeezed through after Montrose blew their chance at home to Spartans.

Montrose only required a point to progress to the last 16 as Group B winners, but the League 1 side lost 2-0 to visitors from the division below.

St Johnstone needed a win to have at least a chance of progressing as one of the best runners-up but end up finishing third behind Inverness Caledonian Thistle and East Fife, who also fail to make the knock-out stage.

Aberdeen, Ayr United, Kilmarnock, Ross County and Stenhousemuir join United and Caley Thistle as group winners.

Dundee and Partick Thistle also go through as two of three best-placed runners-up.

The final group winner and best runner-up will be decided on Sunday.

St Mirren will win Group C if they avoid defeat at home to Dunfermline Athletic.

If Dunfermline win, they are guaranteed to go through as group winners or runners-up as they would have a better goal difference than Queen’s Park.
