N S-Chargers vs Phoenix, 19th Match at Birmingham, Women's Hundred, Aug 06 2024 - Ball by Ball Commentary

Over the wicket, lured her with the bait and she bites it, given plenty of flight and lands it on touch fuller length on middle, tries to smoke that over midwicket and finds Smith who takes a stunner at midwicket while diving backwards, a stellar bowling performance from Superchargers!

Lobbed up on off, shields her stumps with a feeble push down the pitch

She is a master of her craft, round the wicket, length ball, angles in, gets it to dip and drift, kept low and beat her wild swing down the ground, middle stump has been disturbed. It's a no show from Phoenix with the bat

Slower and fuller wide of off, reaches out and that hung in the air for a while, Cross is everywhere today, sprints to her right and plucks it out of thin air, that's a phenomenal catch, she is having a superb day in the field, sprinting, showing her fitness and athleticism, taken a gem. Phoenix continue to capitulate

Charges and tries to work it around the corner, gets rapped on the pads

Over the wicket, fired it quick on shorter length outside off, tries to cut but only connects with air

Yanks front leg out of the way and pulled to midwicket, canters across to the other and will keep the strike

Touch fuller and spun back from outside off, goes deep and stops it down the pitch

Clatters the stumps, inverses her stance to try improvisation, ball was quick and fired straight at the stumps, beaten by the pace and couldn't execute the shot, didn't want to die wondering

Length at leg, tries to slug it over midwicket, gets the outer half of the bat and it lands in empty area at long-off

Tossed fuller on leg, clipped to long-on for a single

Full-toss and she pounces on the gift, gets down low and clubbed it past mid-on for four, placement is superb

Length outside off, spanked away uppishly towards deep cover-point

Hammered in short and veers in at off, pumps it straight to mid-off who ran to her right and took a nifty catch, Cross with neat work in the ring, Wilson departs for six, six wickets down. Another false stroke from Phoenix batter. Not a strong connection

Too short on leg, swivel pull around the corner, finding the fielders too often

Round the wicket, slammed it short and gets it to zing back at middle, takes a step forward and dinks it down to mid-on

Shortish and floating outside off, dragged across the line to long-on for a run

Changes stance and misses the reverse ramp

Bumper on off, tennis ball bumper, gets on top and slugs it leg-side, top-edge balloons up and falls at vacant short mid-on, falls while running down the pitch

Inverses her stance and went away from the line, sharp glovework while standing up
