Manchester Originals 137 for 6 (Jones 34, Bryce 32, Graham 2-31) beat Trent Rockets 136 for 4 (Sciver-Brunt 56*, Gardner 36, Filer 2-26) by one run
Ultimately Sciver-Brunt needed a final-ball boundary to win the game, but could only manage two.
Bryce’s momentum-swinging intervention rounded off a team performance for Manchester Originals, who would have been happy to post 137 for 6 on a slow pitch after being asked to bat first.
When Sciver-Brunt hit Ecclestone for two fours within the final 15 deliveries, she appeared to have done enough to make it two wins from two for her team but Bryce and the Originals had the final say to get off the mark in the fourth year of The Hundred.
Meerkat Match Hero Filer said: “It was a real team performance today. Everyone did their job and it’s just so good to get over the line.
“The pitch is actually a bit slower than last game. We batted very, very well on it and we thought it was a good total.
“We talked about doing the simple things for longer and nailing our skills, and I think we did that today.”
