Indian all-rounder Deepti Sharma delivered a fine bowling performance for Sunrisers Leeds in The Hundred 2026, claiming two wickets in a crucial knockout clash against Manchester Super Giants in Manchester. Deepti dismissed Mady Villiers and Maitlan Brown, though she didn't get a chance to bat in Sunrisers' innings.

The victory secured Sunrisers a spot in the Eliminator against Southern Brave, with the winner set to face Trent Rockets in the final. Super Giants' Indian stars Smriti Mandhana (28 off 17) and Richa Ghosh (13 off 14) had modest returns as their side crumbled to a 41-run defeat.

The star of the match was Australian all-rounder Annabel Sutherland, who smashed an unbeaten 62 off 36 balls and also took two wickets and two catches to set up the dominant win. Deepti's contribution with the ball added crucial depth to Sunrisers' successful campaign.
