Litchfield finishes things off with another audacious stroke, and that sums up this evening! Full on middle stump. Litchfield unfurls the switch hit and in the end, goes straight back over the bowler's head. A body blow and that is indeed the knockout blow. Litchfield has been superb in this chase, and it was fitting that she was the one to ice this run-chase!

5:23pm That will be all from us for this game. There is still a Men's Hundred match to be played this evening, and you can follow each ball of that contest here. Until next time, from Sudeep, Vairavan and myself (Shashwat), it is goodbye!
Phoebe Litchfield, Player of the Match: Scoring runs is good fun. Getting another win (for the Superchargers) is equally special. (On the pitch and if it was the best for batting yet) Yeah, for sure. We know it is going to be a good pitch (here). Really nice pitch, and Headingley has done a good job (smiles). They (our spinners) just hit their lengths and kept the stumps in play. We backed them up in the field. Our spinners have done wonders for us over the years and they did it again today. We have had this group together for three years now and it has not changed much. We know each other, sometimes too well (smiles). We had an average game last time. Came out here with a positive mindset and you could see that.
5:17pm An utterly dominant run-chase, spearheaded by Litchfield. She had not set the Women's Hundred alight before today, but did she do that against the Phoenix, who simply had no answers. She accessed every region on the field that could be accessed and some of her stroke-play was breath-taking. The rest also chipped in, but this chase was all about Litchfield and her exceptional stroke-play.
Another day to forget for the Phoenix. They did not have enough runs on the board, and their bowlers were taken apart by Litchfield. They have now lost three in a row, and they have plenty of work to do, with the bat, with the ball and in the field, if they are to turn things around and have a tilt at the playoffs.

Taylor looks good to continue, but Litchfield has a Free hit to tuck in to, with just four more needed...

Taylor to Litchfield, 2 runs
oh, what has happened here?! Taylor, while she was loading up to bowl, seems to have hurt a finger on her left hand. She looks in a lot of pain too. That is not a good sign, and the physio is out to check on her. The ball rolled along the ground and was called a No ball to add insult to injury

Taylor to Litchfield, FOUR runs
four more! This is full and trying to follow Litchfield outside leg. She still creates room, though (somehow) and smacks it back towards the bowler, who lets the ball go through her hands. Mid off cannot cut it off either!

Taylor to Litchfield, 2 runs
fifty of the best from Phoebe Litchfield! Angled in on a length on the stumps. Litchfield charges down and nudges it into the vast open spaces on the leg side. Back for a brace, and that brings up a sumptuous half-century!
