India all-rounder Deepti Sharma played a crucial role with both bat and ball as London Spirit lifted their maiden Women's Hundred title

Deepti Sharma snapped a wicket giving away 23 runs and then smashed a run-a-ball 16, including the winning six off Hayley Matthews

Besides Deepti, Eva Gray (2/26) and Sarah Glenn (2/17) snapped two wickets each, while Tera Norris (1/18) also chipped in with a wicket to restrict Welsh Fire to 115 for 8 in the stipulated 100 balls

In reply, Georgia Redmayne anchored the chase with a 32-ball 34. Heather Knight (24) and Danielle Gibson (22) also chipped in with useful contributions even as Shabnim Ismail threatened to derail the chase with figures of three for 24 in her 20 balls

But Deepti Sharma then took the onus on herself and produced the only maximum of the match in the nick of time to take her team home
