The Hundred: Kevin Pietersen commented on how Jemimah Rodriguez hits 43-ball 92 not out
Jemima Rodriguez hit 17 fours and a six to smash 92, not out off just 43 balls, and handed her Northern Superchargers team a 6th wicket with 15 balls remaining against the Flames in a Hundred on Saturday.
Chasing a target of 131, Superchargers were 4 down for just 19 runs but Rodrigues played the knock of her life to take Lauren Winfield-Hill’s side over the line at Leeds. She partnered for 112 runs off just 68 balls with AN Davidson-Richards, who went unbeaten with her on 23.
“England is my second home, and Yorkshire, I am buying a house here! I kept it simple, it was a tough time sitting out not getting runs. Never easy when you are chasing and wickets fall, and one of them was my mistake. A matter of keeping calm and sticking to my basics. I love playing at Headingley, and the crowd was phenomenal,” a thrilled Jemimah Rodrigues, who brought up her fifty in 26 balls, said after the win.
Former England captain Kevin Pietersen reacted to the innings from the 20-year-old and made an special announcement.
