London Spirit Women vs Sunrisers Leeds Women Live Score, Match 20 of The Hundred Women, 2026

Onto the men's game - That wraps things up on this one. Time now for the men of both sides to take over at Headingley. Much like their female counterparts, the men's teams find themselves in similar trouble, stuck in the bottom half of the table, and whoever comes out on top tonight keeps their survival hopes very much alive. The latest report from the ground is that the London Spirit have won the toss and have opted to BOWL first. Because this match ran late thanks to the rain delay, the men's game will now have a later start than originally scheduled. You can switch the tabs to catch all the updates from that match. But from here, we sign off. Hope you enjoyed the coverage. Cheers!

A nosedive, then a rise again - However, the visitors refused to fold and hit back hard, with Dean accounting for Litchfield to spark the turnaround. Sunrisers suddenly found themselves tumbling from a comfortable 57/0 to 59/3, and the rebuild had to start from scratch. Annabel Sutherland led that fightback with the bat, while Gibson found the going tough at the crease, still searching for timing against a surface that was turning and skidding through. Their 48 run stand, though, was enough to swing things back in Sunrisers' favour. A couple more strikes from Spirit brought the game level again, before Sutherland and Jonassen's ice-cool cameo at the death saw the hosts home. To her credit, left-arm quick Katie George proved her worth with an impressive three-wicket haul, and was proactive in the field to boot. But in the end, Spirit fell just a few runs short.

A bright start with a bit of fortune - The Sunrisers rode their luck early, and Spirit handed them plenty of it. Bryony Smith survived not one but two chances in the opening sets, and once she'd been let off, she and Phoebe Litchfield, pushed up to open the batting, made the most of every gift on offer. Spirit's attack spent the phase searching for their lines and lengths without much luck, and the cost showed on the scoreboard. Kapp was the closest to breaking through, unlucky not to have a wicket or two already against her name from chances that simply didn't stick.

Rain check on Spirit - It was a tale of two very different halves. London Spirit came flying out of the blocks, timing the ball beautifully and finding the fence whenever they pleased. Grace Harris led the charge, smashing a quickfire half-century to have Spirit purring along at 91/1 at the halfway mark. Then the rain arrived, and so did the collapse. Once play resumed, wickets started tumbling almost as fast as the raindrops had. Deepti Sharma, the young Hannah Baker and Annabel Sutherland were outstanding with the ball through the back end, mixing their variations to perfection and cashing in at crucial times. Beyond that opening stand, the Spirit simply couldn't string another partnership together, though Dottin and Kapp's short cameos hauled them to 136. But given the way they started, they looked destined to get past 150, which they couldn't.

PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Annabel Sutherland gets the accolade for her match-winning knock of 37 not out in 21 balls. She also picked up one wicket in her bowling spell of 1/31. Sutherland says that it is a very satisfying win and they just haven't quite over the line in the last few games. Lauds Jess Jonassen for her clarity and nerves of steel at the death. Adds that it is all about adapting well and mentions that you want to be part of wins, and hopefully they can get on a run from here.

Rose high under pressure - Not the most clinical wins from the Sunrisers, but they will feel mighty relaxed to have gotten the job done in the end. And it's Annabel Sutherland who kept herself composed under pressure to stay till the end. Credit to Jess Jonassen as well, who came in at a delicate time, stayed ice-cold and dragged the game away from the Spirit with a couple of remarkable shots. With this win, the Sunrisers not only snap their three-match losing streak, but also leapfrog all the way to the fourth spot in the standings, getting to 8 points. For the Spirit, the climb only gets steeper from here, as this is their third defeat of the season, and they have just one win to show, with just three games to spare.

SIX! Annabel Sutherland finishes things off in style! Slower ball from Nadine De Klerk, dragged down on middle and leg. Sutherland rocks back and tonks it handsomely over cow corner for a biggie to seal the win. Sunrisers Leeds Women win by 5 wickets, and Sutherland does get her side over the line after falling agonizingly short last time around.

Charlie Dean walks up to her bowler to have a chat before going back to her position.

Thinking about the second run, but it isn't there. Back of a length, around the pads. Jonassen tucks it to deep square leg and turns the strike over. Scores are now level.

FOUR! That should be the telling blow from the bat of Jess Jonassen. Just 2 needed now off 4 balls. Pitched a bit fuller and angled across the left-hander. Jonassen reaches for it and hits it uppishly and just through the gap between cover and extra cover for a boundary.

Ice-cold from Jonassen under pressure. Right then, time for the final set of five of the game. The Sunrisers need 6 runs from 5 balls, in touching distance of a home win. And problems arise for the Spirit as they have been penalised for not bowling their sets in time. Meaning, an extra fielder will have to be stationed inside the ring. Nadine De Klerk (1/19 in 15 balls) will wrap it up. Is there any drama left in the game? Let's find out...

Two more, and this is excellent batting from Jonassen. Good length on the pads, worked away past square leg for a couple of runs in the deep.

FOUR! Calm under pressure from Jess Jonassen. Fullish length, straighter at the stumps. Jonassen clears the front leg and runs down the pitch, hammering it flat over mid off for a boundary. 7 needed now off 6 balls.

Lofted again, but this time in the gap. Slower one, pitched up at the stumps. Jess Jonassen steps out and hits it back over the bowler's head. The timing isn't the best and Grace Harris is able to tidy up to her right from long off, keeping it down to two.

That looked like a simple catch from Grace, but under such pressure situations, that can become a lot more difficult. This is still anyone's game now. 14 needed off 8 balls with Sutherland stranded at one end. Jess Jonassen is in at number 7.

OUT! CAUGHT! Too much height, not enough distance and the Sunrisers now need 14 off 8 balls. Katie George bowls it full and at the stumps. Deepti Sharma charges down the track, loses her shape a bit and lifts it high over wide mid on. Grace Harris at long on settles herself under it and pouches it safely. Not the best option from Sharma to go for that shot.

A direct hit, but Deepti Sharma is well in. A length ball on the pads, slower too. Sutherland tucks it down to short fine leg and Deepti calls her through for the quick single.

Who will bowl the crucial penultimate set? It will be Katie George. 16 runs and 2 wickets so far off her 15 balls.

A bit of width on offer. Too full and outside off. Deepti Sharma leans on and reaches out before carving it to the right of the diving cover fielder. She does get a hand on it and slows the ball as it seeps towards the ropes, but it is hauled back in by that very fielder. Two runs taken. The equation - 15 runs needed from 10 balls.

Call for a quick single and they will get it. Good bit of fielding by Trudy Johnson there as well. Around middle and leg, on a fullish length. Sutherland shuffles across, gets low and helps it to run through the gap behind, but Trudy Johnson at short fine leg, does well to dive to her right and cut it off. One run taken. 17 needed off 11 balls.

Short and outside off, Deepti cuts it to deep point for a single.

Darted on a length, outside off, and just inside the tramline. Sharma lets it through. A fair delivery and more importantly, a dot ball.

Full and fired on the leg stump. Annabel Sutherland sits on a knee and sweeps it to deep mid-wicket for a single. Brilliant work from Dottin to run the hard yards to her left and keeping it down to a single only.

Charlie Dean is back on for her final set. Can the skipper make a big difference here?

FOUR! In the air... and between the two fielders. How about that for a placement from Sutherland! Full outside off and drifting away. Sutherland gets under it and lifts it up and over on the mid-wicket region, and she manages to split long on and deep mid-wicket right down the middle for a boundary.

Full and drifting down leg. Sutherland goes for the sweep, gets a faint glove on it, and the ball scoots past short fine leg's right for a couple.

Slower one, on off, Sharma sweeps it hard to deep square leg for a single.

Short, around leg. Sutherland tucks it across to deep backward square leg for a single.

A direct hit at the bowling end! But is Deepti short? Nope. She is just in the nick of time. But an excellent fielding display by Dottin. She is aware of which end the batter is struggling. On a length, outside off. Deepti rocks back and punches it to the left of Dottin at backward point, who scoops it up left-handed and hits the bullseye at the bowler's end, but Deepti has made it through safely. The replay confirms the same.

Righto, last 20 balls left. Sunrisers Leeds Women need 29 runs from those. Not a hefty ask with the likes of well-settled Sutherland and vastly experienced Deepti Sharma out there. And surprise, surprise. Grace Harris has been brought into the attack. She is well-known to make big impacts with her short spells. And now is the time to do so. But can she?
