The final of the Women’s Hundred 2024 will see the Welsh Fire Women face off against the London Spirit Women at the historic Lord’s Stadium in London. Both teams have shown exceptional form throughout the tournament, and this final promises to be a thrilling encounter.
Led by Tammy Beaumont, the Fire Women have been a dominant force in the league stages, finishing at the top of the table with five wins out of eight matches. Their consistent performances in both batting and bowling have made them one of the toughest teams to beat in the competition. Beaumont’s leadership, combined with key contributions from players like Hayley Matthews and Sarah Bryce, has been instrumental in their success.
Heather Knight‘s Spirit Women took a more challenging route to the final but showed their mettle when it mattered the most. After a solid league stage, they faced the two-time champions Oval Invincibles in the Eliminator. In a commanding performance, Spirit dismantled the Invincibles, booking their place in the summit clash. Knight’s experience and tactical acumen have been crucial, along with standout performances from players like Deepti Sharma and Dani Gibson, who have been?? consistent throughout the tournament.

]]>In an exhilarating game at Trent Bridge, Nottingham, Welsh Fire鈥檚 Phoebe Franklin delivered a match-defining moment with a spectacular catch that helped secure their victory by six wickets against Trent Rockets in Match 14 of The Hundred Women鈥檚 Competition 2024.
The game-changing moment came on the 44th ball of the Rockets’ innings. Georgia Davis, bowling with precision, delivered a quick ball on middle and off, challenging the batter. Natasha Wraith, attempting to capitalize, unleashed a powerful slog. The ball seemed destined for the boundary, but Phoebe Franklin had other plans.
Sprinting in from the deep mid-wicket boundary, Franklin covered an impressive amount of ground. With remarkable agility and focus, she dived forward, her hands outstretched, and caught the ball inches from the turf. This outstanding catch not only dismissed Wraith for 28 runs off 24 balls but also shifted the momentum decisively in the Fire’s favour, leaving the Rockets at 55/3 after 44 balls.

Earlier, the Rockets鈥?captain Nat Sciver-Brunt chose to bat first after winning the toss. The innings got off to a rocky start as they lost both openers within the first seven balls. Bryony Smith was dismissed on the very first delivery by Freya Davies, while Grace Scrivens fell shortly after, bowled out by Beth Langston without scoring.
Wraith and Sciver-Brunt then forged a crucial 52-run partnership off 37 balls, stabilizing the innings. However, Wraith鈥檚 dismissal, courtesy of Franklin鈥檚 exceptional catch off Davis鈥檚 bowling, disrupted their momentum. Sciver-Brunt added a solid 37 runs off 26 balls, but the early losses proved costly. Despite the setbacks, Ashleigh Gardner (31 off 26 balls) and Heather Graham (27* off 18 balls) managed to push the Rockets to a competitive total of 130 runs in their 100-ball innings. Jess Jonassen was the standout b??owler for the Fire, taking two vital wickets.
In reply, the Fire faced their own early troubles, losing both openers quickly. Nevertheless, Sarah Bryce, batting at number four, played a crucial role. Her unbeaten 51 runs guided the Fire through the tense chase. Her composed and strategic batting ensured they crossed the finish line with just two balls to spare. Despite Sciver?-Brunt鈥檚 commendable bowling performance, taking two wickets, the Rockets couldn鈥檛 contain the Fire鈥檚 chase. This thrilling victory propelled the Fire Women to the top of the points table in The Hundred Women鈥檚 Competition? 2024.
