Northern Superchargers Celebrate Title With Georgia Wareham Cutout
Georgia Wareham was an important member of the Northern Superchargers in this year’s The Hundred League. She played a key role in the team’s campaign but was ruled out before the knockout stage due to a groin injury.
Despite Georgia Wareham’s absence on the field, the team made sure to respect her contributions during the championship celebrations. As they lifted the trophy, the Northern Superchargers brought along a life-size cardboard cutout of Georgia Wareham. This gesture was appreciated by fans on social media platforms.

Northern Superchargers had a shaky start to the season, where they managed just two victories in their first four outings and lost Georgia Wareham, who also played for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in WPL, to injury.
The setback turned into an opportunity as her replacement, Nicola Carey, featured in the remaining matches. Carey ended the campaign with a match-winning 35* from 25 balls, including five boundaries, in the final match. She earned the Player of the Match award.
