• •Paul Walter scored 80* from 46 balls to set a 187-run target for Sunrisers Leeds at The Oval.
• •BBC Sport focuses on Walter’s individual contribution, while Cricinfo highlights the dual influence of Walter and bowler Josh Tongue.
• •The Sunrisers' chase fell short despite efforts from Harry Brook and Ryan Rickelton, but the specific tactical breakdown of the final overs remains under-reported.

The Manchester Super Giants secured a place in The Hundred final following a win over the Sunrisers Leeds in the Eliminator match. While BBC Sport attributes the success primarily to Paul Walter's unbeaten 80, Cricinfo provides a wider tactical perspective by crediting Josh Tongue's bowling performance for containing the Sunrisers' chase of 187. Despite the strong individual showings, the reports do not detail the specific fielding lapses or death-bowling adjustments that defined the final phase of the contest. The result sets up a championship match against the Trent Rockets, where the Giants' reliance on top-order hitting will face a stern test against a more balanced bowling attack.
