Scorecard; Table

London Spirit held their nerve to beat Northern Superchargers by seven wickets at Lord’s and earn a much-needed win in the women’s Hundred.

Spirit, beaten in their last three games, got home with two balls to spare in a tricky chase of 127.

With a hint of swagger, West Indies international Deandra Dottin removed her helmet with six runs from four balls needed and smacked consecutive fours to seal the win.

She finished on 50 not out from 34 balls while England’s Tammy Beaumont hit a steady 42 from 36.

Spirit had been easing to victory with 25 needed from 20 balls before Beaumont fell to Alice Davidson-Richards.

Jemimah Rodrigues had earlier continued her fine form, hitting 57 from 44 balls in the Superchargers’ 126-5.

Spirit remain sixth with the win but are now one of four teams level on four points….
