Litchfield finishes the job

Phoebe Litchfield’s clean striking broke the chase open just as MI London W tried to claw back control, and Sunrisers Leeds W cantered home by seven wickets with 31 balls remaining. After an early wobble at 25/2, Litchfield’s 43 off 26 flipped the tempo in a hurry, turning singles into boundaries and forcing MI’s field back. A brief spell of pressure with two early wickets was the only time the chase felt uncertain; once the Litchfield-Sutherland stand took shape, the finish became a formality.

MI’s middle-overs collapse

The match was effectively won in MI’s middle overs, where a promising start disintegrated into a slide that left them well short. MI raced to 32/0 in the powerplay and had a platform through the 56-run stand between Wyatt-Hodge and Hayley Matthews, but then lost five wickets in the middle phase for just 61 runs at 5.1 an over. Sunrisers’ seam and spin kept hitting hard lengths and taking pace off, and MI’s last 14 runs cost three wickets, ending the innings at 107/8 in 16.4.

Baker’s squeeze, Litchfield’s surge

Hannah Baker was the tone-setter, conceding just 16 in her three overs while taking two key wickets to puncture MI’s acceleration plans. Litchfield provided the decisive burst in the chase, striking at 165 and ensuring the required rate never became a conversation. Annabel Sutherland’s 30 off 23 mattered too: she bridged the innings after the powerplay stutter, then let Litchfield play the high-impact shots that ended MI’s hopes.

Form lines hold firm

Pre-match numbers pointed two ways, but the on-field story followed Sunrisers’ recent momentum and match-up edge. MI needed their strong powerplay to become a 20-over total; instead, the familiar pattern against Sunrisers returned when the middle overs arrived and wickets fell in clusters. Sunrisers, meanwhile, absorbed the early movement, then attacked exactly where MI had been vulnerable lately: the post-powerplay squeeze that turns chases into low-risk pursuits.
