'What an innings' - Walter hits eight sixes in Hundred eliminator
Paul Walter hits eight sixes in an unbeaten 80, as he helps Manchester Super Giants set Sunrisers Leeds 187 to win in their Hundred eliminator match, with a place in the final on the line.
The Sunrisers secured a five-wicket victory over Southern Brave in The Hundred Eliminator, reaching the Hundred final. Chasing just 115 at The Oval, the English team was ahead at 95-3, but Brave's seamer Issy Wong sparked a comeback with two wickets in two balls. Key wickets fell to Wong, including Lauren Winfield-Hill and Dani Gibson, but Deepti Sharma and Jess Jonassen's unbeaten performances ensured Sunrisers' success.
Brave's batting was criticized for its defensive nature, with just 13 boundaries and 41 dot balls. The Sunrisers, led by Deepti Sharma and Jess Jonassen, will face Trent Rockets in the final at Lord's on Sunday.
