Top Tournament Stats - The Hundred Men's 2023
Northern Superchargers (Men) vs Manchester Originals (Men)
Jamie Overton smashed a superb 83 to lead the Manchester Originals to a dominant 40 run victory against the Northern Superchargers at Headingley.
Overton’s maiden T20 fifty, which included nine fours and six sixes, was assisted by some fantastic spin bowling by Pakistan international Usama Mir, who took four for 19.
The Originals struggled with the new ball as they lost captain Jos Buttler and fellow opener Phil Salt in Reece Topley’s first 10 deliveries, with the England left-armer finishing with figures of three for 29. However, their progress with the ball was stemmed by brutal hitting from Overton.
The Superchargers did offer periods of resistance in their chase through Matthew Short and Saif Zaib, but the Originals’ total of 183 proved far too much for the Leeds based team.
It’s a second home defeat in three days for the Superchargers, who remain second in the table, while the Originals are now level on points with their local rivals and have jumped from seventh to fourth.
Having elected to bat at the toss, the Originals had a nightmare start after Topley removed Salt, who had mistimed his shot which found Zaib at point, after only three balls. He then removed Originals captain Jos Buttler for two, who edged a delivery into the gloves of Tom Banton.
The Originals then recovered with some powerful hitting from Laurie Evans, which included a delightful scoop shot for six off the bowling of David Wiese.
After a rain delay, which meant the contest was reduced to 90 balls per side, the Superchargers struck back with two wickets in two balls.
First, Paul Walter departed for 22 after he skied a Brydon Carse delivery to a running Callum Parkinson at third man, before Adil Rashid struck with his first ball to remove the dangerous Evans for 41 off 19 deliveries.
Coming in at six, Overton smashed a Rashid delivery over the long-on boundary for six before the Originals lost the wickets of overseas pair, Ashton Turner and Usama Mir, to the bowling of Parkinson and Topley respectively.
Then the Overton massacre began, in a partnership worth 72 with Tom Hartley, 62 of them came from the blade of the Surrey man, including a magnificent six from a Carse short ball, which sailed into the western terrace.
Overton then hit the impressive Topley’s final set for 20, which included two fours and two sixes, to dent the figures of the tournament’s top wicket taker.
Overton then smashed 16 off the final set of the Originals’ innings to lead them to a total of 183 for six, with the all-rounder finishing not out on 83 from 31 balls.
In their reply, the Superchargers got off to a slow start, with just 18 runs coming from the first 15 balls.
Australian Matthew Short hit the first six of the innings when he pulled a short ball from former Superchargers man Ben Raine over the ropes. The opener then hit a picture perfect cover drive for six before being bowled by the magical Mir for 37 off 16 balls.
Two balls later, Mir took the wicket of the in form Tom Banton, who was bowled for 12 and then removed Adam Hose, after the Worcestershire man tried to find the boundary with a reverse sweep, but could only find Walter at backward point.
England’s Harry Brook looked good for 20, which included a six over the Rugby stand akin to Liam Livingstone’s one against Pakistan in 2021, but he became Mir’s fourth victim after he holed out to long-off.
The Superchargers’ hopes of victory then faltered, with only Zaib and Wayne Parnell putting up some resistance. The rest of the batting line up departed cheaply to leave the Superchargers 141 for nine, resulting in a 40 run victory for the Manchester Originals.
Birmingham Phoenix (Men) vs Oval Invincibles (Men)
Birmingham Phoenix turned the Men’s Hundred table upside down by thrashing leaders Oval Invincibles by 41 runs at Edgbaston.
Without a victory in the tournament before tonight, Phoenix had to win to stay alive in the competition and responded with a vastly-improved display assisted by the availability of England star Chris Woakes.
Phoenix totalled a meaty 160 for eight after Jamie Smith’s high-class 60 (33 balls) lifted them out of early trouble. Their new ball pair Woakes and Adam Milne then began brilliantly, restricting Invincibles to 12 for one from 20 balls.
The visitors never recovered. They finished on 119 for nine (Kane Richardson four for 32) to suffer their first defeat of the campaign with a further blow coming from the loss of batter Jordan Cox who retired hurt in great pain after being hit on the hand by a rising ball from Milne.
After Phoenix were put in they at first stuttered in familiar fashion as Will Smeed chipped Zak Chappell to extra cover, Ben Duckett skied a slog-sweep at Nathan Sowter and Liam Livingstone pulled Sowter to long leg where Heinrich Klaasen made a difficult catch look ridiculously easy.
At 44 for three from 35 balls, the innings was wobbling but Smith heaved it into motion by smashing 20 from four balls from Sowter and Sunil Narine. Smith and Moeen AIi (33, 26) rebuilt the innings with a stand of 75 in 46 balls before the latter went for a quixotic bye to wicketkeeper Sam Billings and was run out by the direct hit.
Smith heaved Chappell into the hands of Jason Roy at long off but Dan Mousley, Chris Benjamin and Milne all cleared the ropes to ensure a challenging target. Less productive was Woakes’ return to Edgbaston with the bat after he hoiked his first ball to deep mid-wicket to become the final victim in Chappell’s four for 33.
Woakes was spot on with the ball, though, conceding just three runs from his first set when Invincibles replied. Milne then struck with his first ball, which Will Jacks edged to slip, and the Kiwi inflicted a different type of damage with his sixth which rose into Cox’s hand, forcing him off the field.
After Woakes had Klaasen caught at slip, the visitors were 21 for two from 25 balls with another batter down and clearly in too much pain to return. More evidence that this was Phoenix’s night arrived when Roy feathered a reverse-sweep at Benny Howell’s second ball and the ball bounced off wicketkeeper Chris Benjamin grille down into his gloves.
Only a flailing miracle could preserve Invincible’s unbeaten record but the middle and lower order flailed in vain against a Phoenix side which will face Southern Brave in Southampton on Wednesday with confidence well and truly rebooted.
Phoenix batter Jamie Smith said:
"It's been a tough couple of games, especially with the bat, we didn't really leave our bowlers anything to spend in the first two games that weren't rained out, so to put on that sort of performance tonight against a very strong Oval side was impressive.
"We have always tried to play positively, that is the sort of brand that we are going for, we want to take the game on, but this is probably the first time we were able to get a little partnership together. It was good for Moeen and I to do that - it was almost a case of hit out or get out because at one stage we were looking at an average score on a pretty good surface. So we decided at that point to take the game on and luckily it came off.
"In Adam Milne and Chris Woakes you are talking about two world class bowlers so to have them available for us is fantastic and it's no surprise to see what they can do with how talented they are. Everyone knows how big momentum is when you are losing or when you are winning so to get on a little winning run now, towards the back end of the tournament might be crucial for us to qualify. If not, we'll just keep playing the same brand that served us so well tonight and hopefully we can keep doing that and entertaining the crowd."
Invincibles coach Tom Moody said:
"It's not looking good for Jordan. He has gone to hospital to get it looked at properly but he's definitely out of the tournament. He's more than likely going to have surgery either this evening or tomorrow morning.
"It wasn't a good night for us but we have had a good campaign to this point. You are always going to face a tough game at some point and tonight was the one for us. We have played some good cricket to this point but we just didn't get it right tonight. We didn't bowl as well as we have done in the past and it just seemed that the conditions turned quite nicely and Birmingham bowled particularly well with the new ball and made it very difficult for us.
"I think their score was probably par but I felt that we probably gave them 15 more than we should have done. If we were just a little bit tidier with the ball and our execution I think we would have been chasing 140 or 145, but it wasn't to be tonight so from our perspective it's pretty simple, you draw a line under this one and move forward and keep the positivity because there is a lot for us to he positive about."
Top Tournament Stats - The Hundred Women's 2023
Northern Superchargers v Manchester Originals
Northern Superchargers moved level on points with Southern Brave at the top of The Women’s Hundred after Alice Davidson-Richards held her nerve take two wickets in the final five balls to defeat Manchester Originals by four runs in a rain-affected match at Headingley.
The home side had posted 133 for five off their hundred balls, only to see that target reduced to 113 off 80 by a prolonged shower. Fine batting by Emma Lamb, who made 49, seemed to have given the Originals a chance of reaching that target but Fi Morris was caught on the deep square-leg boundary by Linsey Smith off Davidson-Richards, trying to hit the six that would have won the game.
In the first innings of the day, the Originals gained their first success with the score on 27 when Jemimah Rodrigues was caught at deep midwicket by Katie George off Mahika Gaur for nine. Phoebe Litchfield them took fours off three successive balls from Deandra Dottin but Marie Kelly was run out for 22 off the next delivery when she was sent back by Litchfield and beaten by Morris’s throw from the point boundary.
However, Litchfield and Hollie Armitage then took the score to 84 and it looked as through the Originals would regret Dottin’s error when she dropped Litchfield off Amanda-Jane Wellington when the batter had made 24.
It was left to the Orginals’ skipper Sophie Ecclestone to take a much-needed wicket when she clung on to a fierce drive from Litchfield and removed the Australian for a 29-ball 39 that had included six fine boundaries.
Armitage sought to increase the run rate but was caught by wicketkeeper Ellie Threlkeld for 17 when she top-edged an attempted slog-sweep off Morris. Bess Heath hit the first six of the innings when she pulled George into the Western Terrace but she was then caught at point by Laura Wolvaardt off Kathryn Bryce for an 11- ball 20.
Davidson-Richards then hit two of the final four balls of the innings for four to ensure the Superchargers posted a defendable 133 off their 100 balls. However, this Headingley pitch seemed well suited to the slower bowlers, a fact borne out by the fact that Morris took one for 15, Ecclestone one for 17 and Wellington nought for 21. All three spinners bowled their full allocation of 20 balls.
Forty minutes’ rain reduced the Originals’ target by 21 runs in 20 fewer balls but their innings got off to an atrocious start. Wolvaardt attempted a sharp single with Lamb but was run out for five by bowler Grace Ballinger’s direct hit. Ami Campbell was then lbw to Lucy Higham for a two-ball nought to leave the visitors on 16 for two after 14 of their 80 balls.
Lamb and Dottin took their time in rebuilding their side’s innings but the pace was increased when Dottin heaved Smith over the square leg boundary for six and punched Georgia Wareham through the covers, over mid-off and through midwicket for three fours in one set.
That left the Originals needing 63 off 40 balls and their hopes were dented when the dangerous Dottin was brilliantly caught at deep midwicket boundary for 27, Wareham completing a superb running catch inches inside the rope off Davidson-Richards.
George managed only a single before falling to Smith, leaving Lamb and Ecclestone, two of the Orginals’ senior players, to score 56 off 32 balls. The pair rose to the challenge magnificently, Lamb returing to form with an array of attacking strokes and Ecclestone lofting Smith for a straight six in her nine-ball 13 before giving a return catch to the ex-Original seamer, Kate Cross.
That left the Orginals needing 13 off eight balls and 10 off the last set of five, bowled by Davidson-Richards, Crucially, however, Lamb was caught behind off the first of these deliveries and Davidson-Richards took the final wicket to finish with three for 23
Birmingham Phoenix (Women) vs Oval Invincibles (Women)
Oval Invincibles kept their Women’s Hundred campaign alive with an impressive ten-run win over Birmingham Phoenix at Edgbaston.
Invincibles overpowered the struggling home side after piling up 142 for five thanks to Marizanne Kapp’s blistering 64 not out (40 balls) and Lauren Winfield-Hall’s composed 41 (33 balls).
The Phoenix reply was given a thrilling launch by Sophie Devine (53, 34 balls) but after she fell to Ryana MacDonald-Gay the chase lost impetus. Phoenix fell short on 132 for six and remain rooted to the foot of the table, still without a win from a bitterly disappointing campaign.
Invincibles, meanwhile, are right back in the mix after victory from a game they dominated from ball one. Put in, they started solidly with openers Winfield-Hill and Suzie Bates adding 31 in 27 balls, assisted by some untidy fielding.
Their progress was stalled by Katie Levick who broke through with wickets in successive balls on the way to taking two wickets for just one run in her first set. Levick turned one past the charging Bates for Amy Jones to complete a simple stumping before Alice Capsey attempted to cut her first ball and nicked it to the wicketkeeper.
That untidy fielding included a reprieve for Winfield-Hall who was dropped on nine by Sterre Kalis at backward point off Tess Flintoff, and the opener made Phoenix pay in a stand of 59 in 42 balls with Kapp.
After Winfield-Hall lifted Hannah Baker to long on, Paige Scholfield kept the rate high with a nine-ball 17 before Kapp took the total from decent to daunting with a ferocious late onslaught. The South African posted a 34-ball half-century as she smashed most of the 26 which came from the last ten balls.
Phoenix needed a flying start and Devine supplied it with an exhibition of clean hitting which saw her side race to 50 in just 26 balls. Her second six took her to a 26-ball half-century including 40 in fours and sixes.
It was high-quality striking which lifted the home fans' hopes of a win to keep their campaign alive but Devine’s next attempt to land a six, off MacDonald-Gay, found only the calm hands of Kapp at long-leg. Amy Jones soon chopped MacDonald-Gay to short third man and Erin Burns’ counter-attack was terminated by a straight ball from Scholfield as the required rate escalated.
When Flintoff (27, 33 balls) charged and missed at Scholfield, 39 were needed from 14 balls – far too many as Invincibles closed out a much-needed win.
Invincibles all-rounder Marizanne Kapp said:
"It's not been going our way this season, especially with the bat, we are probably a bit short of runs, so it was nice to get some runs on the board again and get the win.
"Their spinners bowled really well on this wicket so we felt like we were going to target the pace-bowlers. It's a shame that Winfield got out as I think if she'd stayed in we might have got 160. But we know our bowling has been strong and luckily we were able to defend it.
"We always knew they were going to come out hard with the bat in the powerplay. But I felt today we bowled really well in partnerships, especially some of the youngsters we have got coming into the group. As soon as we got Sophie out we had a bit of breathing space.
"One thing about this team is that over the seasons we have had so many injuries and played without international players. but we were still champions. That is something that works in our favour, how we bounce back every single time. It's not been an ideal campaign thus far but you can always turn the corner and hopefully today was the turnaround that we needed."
Phoenix assistant coach Dominic Ostler said:
"We set the tone in the field in the first 25 balls when we let a few through our legs. It was an overall fairly sloppy performance. You always make your life difficult when you drop their best players and we dropped Kappy when she was on 30-odd. We didn't back the bowlers up in the field and that cost us at the end of the game when we fell 15 or 20 short. When you drop one of the best players in the world, they capitalise, and Kappy played beautifully.
"Then Sophie hit the ball fantastically well and got us off to exactly the start we wanted. We were ahead of the rate and got ourselves into a winning position, just like the other day. But credit to their bowlers, they came back in the middle and penned us in and took wickets. After Soph got out we just couldn't seem to get any momentum.
"We may be out of the tournament but we have got an awful lot to play for. We have pride to play for. We need to get off the bottom of the table because I don't think we are a bottom of the table side, and we have got three games to do that,
"The girls have got to dust themselves off and show a bit of resilience and come out fighting in the next three games."
