Smriti Mandhana's unbeaten 88 powered Manchester Super Giants to a four-wicket triumph over Sun Risers Leeds at Headingley. Sun Risers had posted a competitive 142, with contributions from Phoebe Litchfield (31), Annabel Sutherland (35), and a rapid 18 off 6 balls from captain Dani Gibson.

Despite a strong start from Sun Risers' bowlers that reduced Super Giants to 71-5, Mandhana anchored the chase. She reached her half-century off 33 balls and, after being dropped on 71, sealed the victory with two sixes, finishing on 88 not out with five balls to spare.

The win maintains the Super Giants' unbeaten streak, placing them second in the table with 10 points. Sun Risers, with their second loss, sit fifth with 4 points.
