Sun Risers Leeds secured a spot in The Hundred women's final with a thrilling five-wicket victory over Southern Brave in the eliminator at The Kia Oval. Chasing 115, Leeds faced early setbacks, losing key players and finding themselves at 54-3. Their situation worsened at 95-5 after Issy Wong took two wickets in quick succession. However, India's Deepti Sharma held her nerve, scoring an unbeaten 28 off 22 balls to guide Sun Risers to victory with 11 balls to spare.

Southern Brave, who started the season strongly, have now lost four consecutive matches. Sun Risers, the defending champions, extend their winning streak to five games heading into the final against Trent Rockets. Earlier, Brave's innings saw Lizelle Lee score 32, but they ultimately fell short of a competitive total despite contributions from Hannah Baker and Charli Knott.

Despite some tense moments in the chase, including Wong's impressive bowling spell, Sun Risers' Deepti Sharma and Jess Jonassen sealed the win. The final is scheduled for Sunday at Lord's, where Sun Risers Leeds will face Trent Rockets.
