Manchester Originals' Beth Mooney's scintillating 99* propelled her team to a 17-run victory over Northern Superchargers in The Hundred. Mooney's masterful innings, the highest individual score in the tournament this year, laid the foundation for Originals' 151 for 3.
The Australian left-hander showcased her exceptional batting prowess, effortlessly finding gaps and displaying the form that has earned her the top spot in Women's T20I cricket. Despite falling agonizingly short of a century when Sophie Ecclestone was run out on the final ball, Mooney's contribution proved pivotal.
Northern Superchargers' chase got off to a promising start with Phoebe Litchfield's impressive 45 from 29. However, her dismissal by Kim Garth's slower ball triggered a collapse, with the team running out of steam in pursuit of the target.
Kathryn Bryce emerged as the star of the bowling attack, claiming a hat-trick and finishing with remarkable figures of 5-13. Her exceptional performance gave Originals a personal landmark to celebrate, despite their hopes of tournament progression fading.
The victory prevented Superchargers from climbing to the top of the table, leaving the women's competition standings congested heading into the final week.
