Match Summary

Top Performers

• Player of the Match: Phoebe Litchfield – 43 (30) for her pivotal innings
• Best Bowler: Georgia Wareham – 2/14 for her tight control and timely breakthroughs

In a dominant performance at The Hundred Women’s  2025, Match 3, the Northern Superchargers Women secured a comfortable win over Welsh Fire Women. batting first, Northern Superchargers Women ended a difficult opening phase to score a competitive 141/4 in their 100 balls. The main event of their batting was a significant lower-order partnership, which changed the game in the end. Welsh Fire, in their reply, never got into the groove and were all out for 94, losing by 47 runs. Here are the key reasons why the Welsh Fire Women lost the match:

1. Dramatic Batting Collapse for Welsh Fire

Following a challenging target, Welsh Fire's dreams were shattered by a sudden middle-order collapse. The innings started negatively with the early loss of Sophia Dunkley and Hayley Matthews. Tammy Beaumont’s speedy knock of 36 off 21 balls sparked some hope, but wickets kept falling at the other end. No batter could sustain the effort and hand the team a shock collapse—losing 8 wickets for just 45 runs. The chase would have ended much earlier if the middle and lower orders had resisted.

2. Superchargers’ Clinical Bowling Display

Northern Superchargers Women went perfect in bowling, covering the ground holding both ends tight. Georgia Wareham, who bowled four overs and conceded 14 runs along with picking 2 wickets, was able to put brakes on the batting and also got important wickets. Grace Ballinger was equally incisive, returning 2–16 in 3.3 overs. The Superchargers’ bowlers showcased remarkable discipline, shutting down every attempt by Welsh Fire to rebuild, and ensured regular breakthroughs to keep any momentum at bay.

3. Superchargers women Pivotal Lower-order Partnership

At the earlier stage of the game, after a good start, Northern Superchargers found themselves needing a boost. Captain Hollie Armitage (34* off 27) and Georgia Wareham (29* off 17) went on a vital 52-run partnership for the fifth wicket. Their energetic and yet well-planned hitting in the last overs lifted the total to a challenging 141/4—a score that put the Superchargers in the driver's seat. This late onslaught was important in putting the total out of reach on a pitch that was becoming more suited to disciplined bowling.

The third match of The Hundred Women's 2025 will feature Northern Superchargers Women taking on Welsh Fire Women at Headingley, Leeds. Northern Superchargers narrowly missed the Eliminator last season after a heartbreaking loss to London Spirit in their final league game, finishing just one point short. All-rounder Annabel Sutherland was the standout performer with both bat and ball, scoring 212 runs at a strike rate of 137.6 and picking up 10 wickets at an economy of 4.53. Linsey Smith led the bowling charts with 15 wickets, earning a deserved England recall.

On the other side, Welsh Fire had a major turnaround in 2024, finishing as runners-up after a tough first three seasons. They were led in their success by Hayley Matthews and Jess Jonassen, who stood tall with bat and ball. Matthews scored 198 runs and took 11 wickets, while Jonassen contributed 176 runs and topped all bowlers with 12 wickets. This clash between Superchargers and Fire promises to be a thriller early in the season.
