SUL-W vs WEF-W Match Details

• Match: Sunrisers Leeds Women (SUL-W) vs Welsh Fire Women (WEF-W), 27th Match, The Hundred Women’s 2026
• Date: Sunday, August 9, 2026
• Time: 11:00 AM local (BST)
• Venue: Headingley, Leeds

The Story Behind This Match: Two Sides Fighting for Survival

Sunrisers Leeds Women enter this match as the reigning champions, but their title defence has been far from smooth, and their Eliminator hopes are described as “slim” heading into the closing rounds. Annabel Sutherland has been central to keeping those hopes alive, contributing regularly with both bat and ball — she has scored 208 runs this season at an excellent average of 69.33, while also chipping in with the ball. Phoebe Litchfield has been their most prolific run-scorer overall, and Kate Cross has led the bowling attack.

Welsh Fire Women, meanwhile, are also fighting to boost their own qualification hopes. Ireland’s Orla Prendergast — signed as a replacement for injured captain Sophie Devine — has been the story of their recent form, producing the best bowling figures of the women’s Hundred season with 4 for 18 to help beat Manchester Super Giants Women, having earlier starred with both bat and ball in a last-ball win over Southern Brave Women. Georgia Wareham has stepped up as captain in Devine’s absence and has now won back-to-back matches in charge.
