Kirstie Gordon to Mady Villiers
FOUR!!! Mady Villiers finishes things off in style. Tossed up delivery on middle, 47 mph, Villiers dances down the track, gets to the pitch of the ball and smashes it over mid on for a cracking boundary.

9:21 PM IST, 4:51 PM Local Time: That's it. Manchester Super Giants get back to winning ways in the Women's Hundred 2026. They beat MI London comprehensively by six wickets here at The Oval. They grab their third win. MI London, on the other hand, remain winless in this year's competition as the search for their first win continues.
Chasing 93, the Super Giants got off to a solid start. Skipper Meg Lanning and Smriti Mandhana played beautifully at the top of the order and added 35 at the end of the powerplay. MI London continued to struggle with the ball as they failed to build any pressure on the opening pair.
Mandhana and Lanning put 73 between them before the former fell on 34 on the 53rd ball. Amelia Kerr dismissed Richa Ghosh (4) and Paige Scholfield (0) on two consecutive balls. Lanning fell after a well-made 43 before Mady Villiers finished off the chase by remaining unbeaten on 12.
The Super Giants chased down the total in just 72 balls with six wickets in hand. With this win, they have certainly boosted their Net Run Rate. For MI London, Kirstie Gordon (2/14) and Amelia Kerr (2/21) grabbed two wickets each but they failed to defend the total.
Earlier, Sophie Ecclestone set the tone early after the Super Giants opted to bowl first. She knocked over Alice Davidson-Richards and Hayley Matthews on ducks in the first two sets. Skipper Hollie Armitage (15) and Amelia Kerr (11) got starts but failed to convert them into big scores.
The Super Giants bowled beautifully, not allowing the MI London batters to get away. Nicola Carey (17), Kira Chathli (18) and Chinelle Henry (16) tried hard but the hosts failed to gain any momentum. A flurry of wickets at the back end meant that MI London got bundled out on 92 in 99 balls.
Ryana MacDonald-Gay (3/19) picked up three wickets for the Super Giants. Sophie Ecclestone (2/7) and Maitlan Brown (2/18) grabbed two each as they completed a fine bowling performance. It was backed up by their batters as they registered their third win in this year’s competition.

Hero of the Match: Sophie Ecclestone
Sophie Ecclestone (Hero of the Match): "[On her bowling performance today] I haven’t bowled much in the powerplay. Nice to bowl in the powerplay and get early wickets.
[Reason behind her opening the bowling today?] I think it’s been match-ups. Hayley and Meg gave me the chance and I got through.
[On their bowling attack] It’s so cool. Mady and me bowl well in the middle overs and make my job easier. Hope it continues.
[Did you enjoy bowling in the powerplay?] I loved it. Hopefully, that continues and I keep getting that opportunity.
[On winning their third game this season] It’s amazing. I don’t have to bowl to Meg. We are in a great place and hope we continue for the rest of the tournament."
