Mitchell Marsh delivered a match-winning performance as Sunrisers Leeds secured their first victory in The Hundred men's competition, overcoming Southern Brave by five runs at Headingley. This win marks a crucial turnaround for Sunrisers after an opening-season defeat.
Asked to bat first, Marsh and opening partner Ryan Rickelton provided Sunrisers with a blistering start. Marsh reached his half-century in just 26 balls, capitalizing on a wayward over from Luke Wood that conceded 28 runs, including four no-balls. This aggressive batting propelled Sunrisers to a commanding 102 without loss by the midpoint of their innings.
Despite the strong start, spinner Adil Rashid attempted to stem the flow of runs, taking three wickets in a subsequent set. However, Marsh's impactful 69 runs from 34 balls had already set a formidable foundation for Sunrisers Leeds. Southern Brave fought back but ultimately fell short, leaving them winless after two matches.
