NSW won by 14 runs
10 PM IST, 5:30 PM Local time: The Northern Superchargers win an exciting encounter by 14 runs to get to the third position in the points table with six points to their name. An astonishing allround performance from the home side after winning the toss and depositing 143/4 in 100 balls.
Chasing the total, Lauren Winfield-Hill was lucky twice to survive but eventually fell to Alice Davidson-Richards scoring 19 in 14 balls. Her opening partner skipper Suzie Bates never got going as the scoreboard pressure kept increasing.
Georgia Wareham reduced the card to 38/2 removing birthday girl Alice Capsey for 13. Marizanne Kapp had not much to offer as she fell scoring just 4. Paige Scholfield scored a run-a-ball 11 but fell while trying to up the ante.
Bates eventually holed out to Rodrigues at backward point on the 72nd delivery with 62 more runs required. Mady Villiers and Cordelia Griffith (30* off 15) added 47 runs until the final ball but the target was well beyond the reach.
Wareham was the pick of the bowlers with 2/20 in her full quota. Alice Davidson-Richards and Linsey Smith had identical figures of 1/26. Kate Cross sent Bates back but conceded 32 runs in her 20 balls. Grace Ballinger remained wicketless.

Hero of the Match: Phoebe Litchfield
Phoebe Litchfield (Hero of the Match): “To come out with a win was really special. We tried to hit the big pockets of the ground and run hard. I’m not a big hitter of the ball. So try to hit in the open spaces and also there is an extra fielder inside the circle which helps. It’s a massive difference from last year. I think there were seven debutants in our first game this season and it’s a great feeling in the group."
