London Spirit ran through a rollercoaster of emotions after Deepti Sharma unleashed her fury at the right time to steer the team towards the finishing line. Her match-winning six helped the team secure their first-ever title in The Hundred on Sunday’s encounter (August 18).

When the team required 4 runs to win off the last three deliveries, the left-handed batswoman ensured to seal the deal in the thrilling final against Welsh Fire by taking on Hayley Matthews down the ground, which was more than enough to lead her team to a scintillating win in a nail-biting finish.

Deepti Sharma hit the ball towards the long-on region for a maximum. As it turned out, Welsh Fire's all-rounder, Shabnim Ismail produced an exceptional effort at the boundary to stop the six, but the white cherry sailed over her ropes, which handed the Spirit a four-wicket win and the championship trophy.

Despite the fact that Deepti struggled to produce a spark early on, she ensured that she would stick to her cautious yet composed gameplay. She remained unbeaten with a 16-run knock that guided London Spirit to the historic title. London Spirit's skipper Heather Knight, opened up that the team was on edge as Deepti found it tough to go about her work during the final at the Lord’s. The team's reaction from the dugout perfectly summed up Knight's statement.

For the record, Deepti was under surreal pressure as she didn't hit a four or a six in her first 15 balls, leaving her team in a spot of bother. However, in a sudden turn of events, Deepti charged down the track and hit a six off Hayley Matthews, quickly changing London Spirit's momentum.

Deepti played a substantial role with the ball, where she took 1 wicket, and conceded 23 runs in her full quota of 20 balls, including a run-out. She was a consistent performer throughout the tournament, mustering 212 runs at a strike rate of 132.50. She has accounted for 8 dismissals with an impressive economy rate of 6.85.
