Spirit claim their first women’s Hundred title in front of record crowd

LONDON SPIRIT successfully chased down 115 to beat Welsh Fire and claim the women’s Hundred title in front of a record 22,008 fans at Lord’s on Sunday.

In a tense finale, it was left to Deepti Sharma and Charlie Dean to get their team over the line, with Indian all-rounder Sharma finishing the job with a six over long on with just two balls left.

Sharma’s strike hung in the air and briefly looked to be heading to Shabnim Ismail on the boundary, but there was enough power to go all the way and bring an end to a topsy-turvy encounter that swung both ways.
