Sunrisers Leeds secured a crucial five-wicket victory over London Spirit at Headingley, keeping their playoff hopes alive in The Hundred. Spirit posted 136-7 after being put in to bat, with contributions from Phoebe Litchfield (30) and a match-winning 37 not out from Annabel Sutherland off just 21 balls.

Spirit's innings saw a strong start, but a rain delay and subsequent wickets halted their momentum. In response, Sunrisers faced a mid-innings wobble, losing three wickets in quick succession. However, Sutherland and Jess Jonassen guided the hosts home with two balls to spare.

Sutherland was named Meerkat Match Hero, expressing satisfaction with her adaptability and the team's winning performance. The win elevates Sunrisers to fourth in the table, while Spirit's defeat significantly dims their chances of advancing. The Hundred continues with multiple fixtures on Wednesday.
