# Smriti-Richa stand powers Manchester Super Giants to 27-run win 2026-08-08T22:55:32+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Smriti Mandhana (46 off 36) and Richa Ghosh (56 off 34) added 83 runs in 57 balls to steer Manchester Super Giants to 139/4 after being asked to bat first against Southern Brave in The Hundred on Saturday. Richa top-scored with her first half-century of the tournament, hitting five fours and three sixes, before both fell to Issy Wong. In reply, Brave, missing Jemimah Rodrigues, ruled out with a hamstring injury, could manage only 112/7. Mady Villiers took three wickets, including a stumping by Richa. The 27-run win lifts Super Giants to third place, two points behind Brave and six behind leaders Trent Rockets. ## Coverage - sportstar.thehindu.com Tags: Jemimah Rodrigues injury, Manchester Super Giants, Richa Ghosh, Smriti Mandhana, The Hundred, women's cricket Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/smriti-richa-stand-powers-manchester-super-giants-to-27-run-win/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
