Issy Wong took the wicket of Phoebe Litchfield during the women's Hundred eliminator between Southern Brave and Sunrisers Leeds

SunRisers Leeds booked a meeting with Trent Rockets in The Hundred women's final after a tense five-wicket win over Southern Brave in the eliminator at The Kia Oval.

Set a modest 115 to win, SunRisers had looked in trouble at 54-3 after 47 balls - their dynamic Australian duo of Phoebe Litchfield (4) and Annabel Sutherland (17 off 12) both dismissed - and again at 95-5 after 78 when the impressive Issy Wong (3-21) took two wickets in two balls.

Wong, who had earlier claimed the key wicket of the tournament's leading run-scorer Litchfield, also bowled Lauren Winfield-Hill (37 off 37) and saw off SunRisers skipper Dani Gibson, lbw first ball.

But India's Deepti Sharma kept a calm head, her unbeaten 28 off 22 ultimately seeing SunRisers over the line with 11 balls to spare and into Sunday's final at Lord's.

The result was in keeping with the formguide, with the tournament's early pace-setters Brave losing a fourth straight match after having started with five wins from five.

SunRisers are defending champions - having won last year's women's competition under their previous name of Northern Superchargers - and have won five in a row going into the final against Rockets, who themselves have won their last six to clinch top spot in the women's table.
