However, Russell did not last long, as Archer, who made his The Hundred debut on the same day, had his revenge on the next ball.

London, batting first, made 138/9, with Liam Dawson taking all the limelight with a breezy 19-ball 45 not out. Skipper Dan Lawrence anchored the innings, making 38 off 30 balls, but failed to give the finishing touches.
For Southern Brave, all bowlers, barring Rehan Ahmed, took at least a wicket. Craig Overton was the pick of them, having returned excellent figures of 3/16 off his 20 deliveries.
