Sunrisers Leeds have emphatically secured their spot in The Hundred Women's Grand Final, defeating Southern Brave by five wickets in a high-stakes Eliminator match at The Kia Oval on Friday. This crucial victory means the defending champions will now face the table-topping Trent Rockets in what promises to be a thrilling championship showdown at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground on Sunday. The Eliminator saw Sunrisers Leeds chase down Southern Brave total of 114 runs with 11 balls to spare, thanks to crucial knocks from Lauren Winfield-Hill (37) and a calm, unbeaten 28 from India's Deepti Sharma. Southern Brave, despite finishing third in the League Phase with a strong record, faltered in this knockout clash, allowing Sunrisers Leeds to continue their impressive five-match winning streak. This win is particularly significant for Trent Rockets, whose men's and women's teams both topped their respective tables, a historic first for The Hundred, bypassing the Eliminator directly to the final. All eyes now turn to Lord's for Finals Day on Sunday, August 16, where Sunrisers Leeds will challenge the formidable Trent Rockets.
