In Match 14 of The Hundred Women’s 2025, Birmingham Phoenix Women were defeated by six wickets by Northern Superchargers Women. The Phoenix posted 116/6 with Emily Arlott (32), Sterre Kalis (24), and Marie Kelly (20) as the top scorers. Superchargers spinners Linsey Smith and Lucy Higham shared four wickets to restrict the Phoenix innings. Phoebe Litchfield's unbeaten 59 off just 28 balls powered the Superchargers' chase as it took just 74 balls. Here are the main reasons why Birmingham Phoenix lost the match:

1. Superchargers' Spin Dominance

Linsey Smith (2/18) and Lucy Higham (2/21) completely took apart the middle order of Phoenix with their economically bowled overs of spin. Not only did their tight lines and variations earn wickets but they also limited the scoring opportunities, thus keeping the batsmen under constant pressure.

2. Sudden Collapse After a Good Start

Phoenix got off to a flying start as Emma Lamb and Marie Kelly managed to get to 44/1 after 30 balls. However, in a dramatic reversal, they went on to lose 5 wickets in 20 balls, one of which was the peculiar run-out of captain Ellyse Perry. Such a quick downfall from an almost safe place greatly changed the match against them.

3. Phoebe Litchfield's Match-Winning Knock

While chasing a low target, Litchfield took control of the match with her aggressive but measured 59* off 28 balls that included fluent boundary strokes. Her initial acceleration kept the Superchargers well ahead of the required rate, thus leaving Phoenix with no way back into the competition.

NOS-W vs BPH-W: Pitch Report

The surface at Headingley offers good pace and bounce, and thus the batters who are confident in their stroke play can find the pitch very rewarding. While the seamers may get some movement off the pitch early on, the spinners are likely to get more wickets as the game goes on. Because of the bigger size of the ground, captains could be going for batting first and then putting up a high total, which could be difficult to chase.
