Five runs are needed from the last delivery. The Originals will need a maximum to win this game now. Morris will face the last ball.

Richards to F Morris
In the air and taken by Linsey Smith. The Northern Superchargers Women win the Northern Derby. Beautifully bowled by Richards. With five required to defend off the last ball, she bowls a slower delivery on the stumps, Morris stands still and slogs it into the leg side. She doesn't get it off the middle of the bat as Smith from deep square leg runs in a few yards and takes a good catch. With this, the Northern Superchargers Women beat the Manchester Originals Women by four runs.
Morris holes out at the end, and the Superchargers win. The crowd at Leeds erupts with joy. What a game!

NSW won by 4 runs (DLS METHOD)
6:34 PM IST, 2:04 Local Time: What a game this turned out to be, it swung like a pendulum in the last five sets, but in the end, it's the Superchargers who come out on top and win this rain-affected contest.
Batting first, the Superchargers got a decent start at the top. Litchfield (39) was the leading run-scorer for the Superchargers but overall, they were slowed down a bit in the middle phase of the innings. Heath and Richards played cameos at the backend and helped the Superchargers post 133 runs on the board. For Originals, Ecclestone, Morris, Bryce, and Gaur got a wicket each in that innings.
The rain interpreted proceedings at the end of the first innings and we lost 20 balls in the run-chase. After a bit of delay, the Originals came on to bat in an attempt to chase a DLS-adjusted target of 113 runs in 80 balls. They lost wickets early and struggled in the middle phase of the chase. But Lamb (49) and Ecclestone (13) found the ropes at the backend and brought the Originals closer to their target. However, they were dismissed in the last two sets, and the Originals fell short of the target by just four runs.
With this win, the Superchargers move up to second on the points table. Meanwhile, the Originals stay fourth on the table.

Hero of the Match: Alice Davidson Richards
Alice Davidson Richards (Hero of the Match): "It’s pretty hectic but the credit goes to all the bowlers. Their batting lineup has the potential to chase down the total but we did well. It was phenomenal. I was thinking about what they would least like to face in the last set. Hollie and Phoebe have again set the platform and it was good to see Heathy chipping in with a cameo lower down the order."
