Manchester Super Giants started their Hundred campaign with a dominant 7-wicket win over London Spirit at Lord's. Spirit Ryana MacDonald-Gay: 4-17, ripped through the middle order Sophie Ecclestone: 1-7 from 20 balls, Spirit were bowled out for 80 with 9 balls left. Easy chase Target of 81 was chased down with 41 balls to spare and 7 wickets in hand. Well below-par score on a slow Lord's pitch. How Spirit collapsed Grace Harris hit the first ball for 4, then fell to Grace Ballinger next over Amy Jones out first ball — Spirit 5-2 after 8 balls Marizanne Kapp hit 4 + 2 sixes off Brown, but MacDonald-Gay removed her and Marie Kelly soon after. Ecclestone then took the wicket of the dangerous Deandra Dottin, bowled through the gate, to leave the Spirit in serious trouble at 28 for 5. At halfway, the Spirit had limped to 48 for 6. A slight recovery was staged through Charlie Dean and Nadine de Klerk, the pair playing watchfully to move the score onto 68, before Meg Lanning and Richa Ghosh combined to run out Dean and MacDonald-Gay bowled de Klerk. Opening with the imposing pair of Smriti Mandhana and Lanning, Super Giants were watchful in the first 10 balls of the chase against the experienced Kapp, but moved through the gears to take the score to 33 before Mandhana went lbw to Kapp on review. The South African then bowled Grace Scrivens first ball with a beauty, before Paige Scholfield took a single off the hat-trick ball; Kapp finishing with 2 for 18 from her 20. Player of the Match: Ryana MacDonald-Gay "The bowlers at the top set up the game for us taking early wickets and putting on the pressure, then I think coming in and sticking to my plans worked really well. We really just nailed the basics, we did really well. I felt in pretty good rhythm, pretty confident. It has been amazing. I have loved the change of scenery. The group is amazing. To be at Old Trafford is amazing - I can't wait to see what energy that brings. Clinical with ball, brutal with bat. Super Giants won with 41 balls to spare after MacDonald-Gay’s 4-17 set the tone, and Scholfield/Ghosh finished it fast. Manchester Super Giants 86 for 3 (Scholfield 22*, Kapp 2-18) beat London Spirit 80 (Kapp 17, MacDonald-Gay 4-17) by seven wickets
