Sunrisers Leeds will face Trent Rockets in Sunday's final at Lord's [Getty Images] The Hundred Eliminator, women's competition, The Kia Oval Southern Brave 114-7 (100 balls): Lee 32 (25); Baker 2-13 Sunrisers Leeds 116-5 (89 balls): Winfield Hill 37 (37); Wong 3-21 Sunrisers Leeds won by five wickets Scorecard Sunrisers Leeds survived Southern Brave's Issy Wong-inspired fightback to reach The Hundred final with a five-wicket win in the women's Eliminator. Chasing just 115 at The Oval, Sunrisers were cruising at 95-3 with 25 balls to go before Wong took two wickets in two balls to give Brave a glimmer of hope. The England seamer, who finished with 3-21, claimed the key wicket of Lauren Winfield-Hill, who was bowled for 37, before trapping Sunrisers skipper Dani Gibson lbw first ball. But Deepti Sharma held her nerve with an unbeaten 28, before Jess Jonassen calmly hit the winning boundary off Lauren Bell with 11 balls to spare. Sunrisers will face Trent Rockets in the final at Lord's on Sunday. Brave were left to rue a bizarrely defensive batting innings, as they played out 41 dot balls and scored just 13 boundaries in their stuttering 114-7. Lizelle Lee gave them a positive start with 32 off 25 balls, which included the only six of the game, but the rest of the order could not capitalise. All-rounder Charli Knott tried to revive the innings with her 25 off 21, but was left with too much to do after Maia Bouchier struggled for 15 off 17, Laura Wolvaardt fell cheaply for eight and captain Sophie Molineux trudged to 22 not out off 24. The low target meant Winfield-Hill could anchor the innings following the early loss of both Sunrisers openers, with Bell, who took 1-14, and Wong unfortunate to be on the losing side.
