In the 30th Match of The Hundred Women's 2025, at Headingley, Manchester Originals Women had a poor outing against Northern Superchargers Women, losing the game comprehensively. The Originals were dismissed for 94/10 in 95 balls, with Alice Monaghan (26) and Beth Mooney (20) being the only batters to score runs. Annabel Sutherland dominated the bowling effort as she grabbed 3/15. In addition, Nicola Carey (2/13) and Kate Cross (1/6) also did their part. The Superchargers comfortably achieved the target of 97 runs, losing only two wickets in 65 balls. As a result, the Northern Superchargers Women triumphed in the game with a wide margin of 8 wickets and 35 balls remaining. Below are the main reasons for the Manchester Originals Women defeat:
1. Early Batting Collapse
Manchester Originals were losing wickets quickly at regular intervals, with Mooney (20) and Dottin (11) going early. Their batting never settled against the very disciplined bowling led by Sutherland (3/15). With little partnerships, the pressure on the scoreboard just kept increasing. This collapse left them far short of a defendable total of just 94.
2. Dominant Superchargers Chase
Northern Superchargers’ batters ensured there was no doubt in the chase of 95. Sutherland (30 off 17) and Davidson-Richards (30 off 18) played aggressively from the start. Litchfield (26* off 20) provided stability to finish things off calmly. Their positive approach meant they sealed an 8-wicket win with 35 balls remaining.

3. Lack of Balance in Performances
The Originals were too reliant on a few batters to weigh in on the innings, with Monaghan (26) the top score. Once Mooney (20) and Monaghan were gone, the rest crumbled with pressure. The Superchargers' contribution came from multiple batters with the ball. This balance gave them a clear edge throughout the contest.
