Andre Russell remained unbeaten for 64 off 23
Andre Russell's batting masterclass followed by a stellar bowling performance helped Manchester Originals dazzle Southern Brave by 68 runs in the 18th match of The Hundred 2022.
Chasing 189, openers Quinton de Kock (20-ball 21) and James Vince (9-ball 20) got their team to a decent start, putting up a 37-run stand but once they were dismissed, it was all downhill for the defending champions.
Apart from the forenamed duo, only George Garton (14-ball 25) and Ross Whiteley (12-ball 21) could manage to breach the 20-run mark as Southern Brave eventually bundled out for 120 in 84 deliveries.
For Manchester Originals, Paul Walter (3/20), Matt Parkinson (2/22) and Tristan Stubbs (2/12) were the wreckers-in-chief with the ball as they cleaned up the Southern Brave's batting order without a fuss.
