London Spirit beat Northern Superchargers by seven wickets and moved to second place on the points table. The Superchargers' top order crumbled early on, but Davidson-Richardson's 33 runs helped them reach 99/7 whereas, Deepti Sharma and Heather Knight’s 77 runs stand sealed the deal for London.

‌Northern Superchargers' captain Hollie Armitage’s decision to bat first backfired as they lost Marie Kelly in the opening set. Their situation worsened when Armitage and Phoebe Litchfield fell quickly, leaving the score at a precarious 14/3. Annabel Sutherland briefly steadied the innings with a brisk 24 off 17 balls before being dismissed by Deepti Sharma in the 51st over. Despite a late rally from Alice Davidson-Richardson and Georgia Wareham, who added 39 runs, Eva Grey's bowling spell dismantled the lower order, limiting the Superchargers to 99/7 after 100 deliveries.

Chasing the modest target, London Spirit’s openers Meg Lanning and Georgia Redmayne made a solid start, reaching 21/0 in just 15 deliveries. However, Linsey Smith's successive wickets of Lanning and Cordelia Griffith disrupted their momentum, and Redmayne’s dismissal thereafter left them at 28/3 after five overs. Nevertheless, Deepti Sharma and Heather Knight steadied the innings with a crucial 35-run partnership, pushing the score to 63/3 by the 13th over. Their continued collaboration saw London Spirit over the line by the 86th over, winning by seven wickets and climbing to second place in the standings.
