Manchester Super Giants have kept their hopes of qualifying for the knockout stages of the men's Hundred alive with a 10-run victory over Southern Brave in Southampton. The win is a significant boost for the Giants, who had a dramatic collapse in their innings, losing eight wickets for just 30 runs after being 119-0.

The Southern Brave, on the other hand, suffered their fifth defeat in the men's Hundred, which means they are now out of post-season contention. The loss is also their first defeat at home in eight matches, adding to their disappointment.

In the women's competition, Richa Ghosh played a crucial role in Manchester Super Giants' 27-run win over Southern Brave, scoring a quickfire half-century. The Australian allrounder Heather Graham also made a significant contribution, taking two wickets and scoring 35 not out in a last-ball victory.

The Southern Brave now need to win on Monday to stay in contention, making their next match a must-win affair.

## What's Next The pressure is on Southern Brave to perform on Monday, and a win is essential for them to keep their hopes alive. For Manchester Super Giants, the win is a morale booster, and they will look to build on this momentum in their upcoming matches.
