Overview
- Sunrisers men posted 241-2 at Headingley on Tuesday in the highest team total in The Hundred’s history, powered by a 148 opening stand between Mitchell Marsh and Ryan Rickelton and a 55‑off‑18 cameo from Harry Brook.
- The same evening Sunrisers women chased 137 with Annabel Sutherland unbeaten on 37 and a match‑winning six, a result that moved the women’s side to fourth in their table.
- London Spirit’s men replied with 204‑6, led by an unbeaten 83 from David Willey, but early top‑order collapses including Jonny Bairstow’s first‑ball wicket left them 37 runs short.
- Those Headingley results raised Sunrisers (men and women) into contention and left London Spirit with one win from five matches and a much reduced path to qualification.
- MI London face a selection impact after Rashid Khan left the tournament to join Afghanistan’s tour of Ireland, forcing the franchise to rely on alternative spinners for upcoming fixtures.
