Jemimah Rodrigues hits 92 (vs Welsh Fire)
Everybody wants to get off to a positive start when they're playing in their opening match in a competition, but Jemimah Rodrigues took that to a completely different level when she hit 92 against Welsh Fire.

Invincibles winning the final (vs Southern Brave)
Every woman involved would have dreamed of this moment, but it was Oval Invincibles who felt the joy of winning The Hundred 2021 after dominating Southern Brave.
Marizanne Kapp provided an absolute masterclass to help ensure that was the case, scoring 26 with the bat and then taking four wickets for just nine runs conceded, so it's fitting that she was the one to claim the winning wicket.
