Jemimah Rodrigues’ unbeaten 42 led Southern Brave to a five-wicket win over Sunrisers Leeds at Headingley, preserving Brave’s perfect start to the women’s Hundred. Her innings steadied the chase after early wickets and underlined Brave’s ability to recover under pressure.

Sunrisers were bowled out for 116 from 100 balls despite Bryony Smith’s 48 from 34, collapsing from 78-2 to lose their final eight wickets for 38 runs. Issy Wong took 3-15 and Tilly Corteen-Coleman 2-25, while Brave reached 117-5 with four balls remaining after Rodrigues and captain Sophie Molineux, who made 21, rebuilt the innings.
