Davina Perrin struck a rapid century, reaching 100 from 42 balls and finishing 101 from 43, to power Northern Superchargers to 214-5, the highest women's total in the tournament. Perrin hit 15 fours and five sixes and dominated the opening stand. Phoebe Litchfield (35 off 19) and Nicola Carey (31* off 12) provided late acceleration. London Spirit managed 172-9 in reply, with Georgia Redmayne unbeaten on 50 from 30, but a middle-order collapse and the loss of key partnerships prevented a chase. The Superchargers won by 42 runs to advance to the final.
The 18-year-old reached her century from 42 balls, the fastest in the women's competition and second fastest in The Hundred overall - just a ball slower than Harry Brook in first. It took an unfortunate run out at the non-striker's end to dismiss Perrin for 101 from 43 balls as the Superchargers powered their way to an enormous 214-5 - the highest women's total in the tournament's history.
Cameos from Australians Phoebe Litchfield, who made 35 from 19, and Nicola Carey, who ended unbeaten on 31 from 12, made sure this was a total that defending champions Spirit would not chase down. Despite losing three early wickets, Spirit had no option but to stay on the offensive and a stand of 63 between Charli Knott and Cordelia Griffith briefly gave them hope on a superb pitch for batting.
