In reply, the Rockets fell 27 runs short, despite brilliance from Natalie Sciver-Brunt, who scored 49, while Indian skipper Harmanpreet Kaur failed scoring just 22. 

Mandhana, who had been struggling to find form lately, achieved many firsts for the season. The Indian vice-captain scored the first run, slammed the first four, and also the first six of  The Hundred 2023 Women.

She achieved the distinction of being the first player to both score a fifty and win the player of the match award.

Mandhana's maiden six came off Sciver-Brunt's bowling on the 21st delivery, where the opener tonked the ball between mid-wicket and long-on region.
