The Story in Brief
Deepti Sharma took three wickets for 11 runs in her 15 balls as Sunrisers Leeds thrashed Birmingham Phoenix by nine wickets in The Hundred at Edgbaston on Friday. Phoenix managed 107 in the first innings and were eliminated from the women's competition after MI London.
Phoebe Litchfield smashed the fastest half-century in Hundred history off 20 balls, hitting 13 fours and one six for an unbeaten 71 off 33. Leeds chased down the target easily to keep their playoff hopes alive.
The Indian Opinion
Stories about Indian players in English leagues often focus on batting stars. Deepti Sharma's consistent bowling performances deserve more attention. Her 3/11 against quality batters shows the depth India has beyond the headline-makers. The real test will be whether she gets a bigger role in next year's league, especially when others from the subcontinent are struggling to adapt to the shorter format's pace.
