Manchester Originals Women beat Northern Superchargers Women by 5 runs in a nail-biting finish in a low-scoring contest in Manchester. After Northern Superchargers Women invited the Originals to bat first, the Originals made a reluctant start, going under the speed limit, but were saved by Deandra Dottin, who smashed an explosive 26-ball 51 in the final stages of the innings, lifting the Originals to 117/5 in 100 balls. In response, the Superchargers chased with a steady pace, but a disciplined bowling performance from the Originals, led by Kathryn Bryce and Sophie Ecclestone, contained the Superchargers to 112/7 for the Originals to secure a narrow but vital victory.

Captain Beth Mooney fell early with the Originals on 22/2 inside 25 balls. Kathryn Bryce (5 not out) and Amelia Kerr (21 runs from 26 balls) steadied the innings before Deandra Dottin flew into action with a belligerent innings of 51 runs off 26 balls at a strike rate of 196.15 off a poor over from Northern Superchargers Women. Along with Alice Monaghan's partner (8 from 7 balls), paired with Dottin at the end of their innings, contributed enough runs thanks to the excellent bowling of Kate Cross and Annabel Sutherland.

Northern Superchargers Women Innings: 112/7 in 100 balls (Target: 118)

The run chase was spearheaded by Phoebe Litchfield (31 off 27) and Alice Davidson-Richards (29 off 26), but in crucial periods, they lost wickets too regularly to build any momentum. Kathryn Bryce (2 from 9) managed to take 2 wickets, one in each of her first 2 overs. Sophie Ecclestone (2/9) and Amelia Kerr (2/10) restricted the Northern Superchargers with tight spells, and just when it appeared that Nicola Carey would see them over the line, she was removed, and despite a courageous innings, the Superchargers fell 5 runs short in a tense finish to the match.
