Women's Hundred: Deepti Sharma Stars As London Spirit Beat Welsh Fire, Clinch Maiden Title
Enter Danielle Gibson: London Spirit secured their first-ever women's Hundred title with a nail-biting four-wicket victory over Welsh Fire in the final, culminating in a finish that saw Deepti Sharma smash a decisive six to seal the win at the Lord's.
Chasing a modest target of 116, the match reached a fever pitch as Spirit needed four runs from the final three balls. Deepti lofted the ball high over long-on, destined for a catch but the ball burst through the hands of Fire's bowler Shabnim Ismail and sailed over the boundary, sending the crowd at Lord’s into a frenzy as Spirit claimed victory on their home turf.
The dramatic ending was a cruel twist for Ismail, who had been outstanding for Welsh Fire, taking 3-24 with a spell that nearly swung the match in her team’s favour. Her triple strike removed the experienced trio of Meg Lanning, Heather Knight, and Danielle Gibson, keeping Fire's hopes alive as they fought to defend their total.
