Smriti Mandhana produced the key innings at Headingley as Manchester Super Giants defeated Sunrisers Leeds by four wickets in The Hundred women's competition. Chasing 143, Manchester finished on 147-6 from 96 balls, with Mandhana unbeaten on 88 from just 50 deliveries.
Sunrisers Leeds had earlier posted 142-4 from their 100 balls. Sutherland top-scored with 35 off 24 to give the innings momentum, but Manchester still kept the total within reach. Villiers made a notable contribution with the ball, returning highly economical figures of 1-6.
The chase was shaped by Mandhana's control and attacking intent. Her unbeaten knock gave Manchester the stability they needed, even as wickets were lost along the way, and she remained at the crease to see the pursuit through.
Baker's 1-9 showed Sunrisers could apply pressure, but Mandhana's innings ultimately proved decisive. Manchester Super Giants secured the target with four balls to spare, sealing an important win built around one standout performance.
