Welsh Fire's express pacer Haris Rauf toppled London Spirit's Andre Russell during a tense run-chase in match 10 of The Hundred Men's 2024 season in Lord's. 

Defending a paltry 95-run total, the Pakistan-based speedster shattered Russell's stumps off the first ball of the latter's innings as London Spirit slipped 84-6 in 77 balls.

Rauf eventually bagged figures of 3-20 from his 17-ball spell, thus staging Welsh Fire's remarkable fightback following Matt Henry's three-wicket burst with the new ball. 

Despite Rauf's sizzling efforts with the ball, the Welsh Fire franchise fell three wickets short in a low-scoring thriller.

With just 11 runs more required for a victory, Russell attempted to hack Rauf over to his leg side, only to have the express pacer shatter his stumps.

Russell eventually walked back to the sheds with a first-ball duck to his name, thus giving Rauf his third wicket of the evening.

Despite Haris Rauf's scintillating three-wicket haul, Welsh Fire bowlers failed to defend their 95-run total, and London Spirit cantered to a three-wicket win with 13 balls to spare.

Earlier in the match, Welsh Fire scored just 94-9 from 100 balls, with only Luke Wells breaching the 20-run mark through his attacking eight-ball 23-run cameo. 

For London Spirit, left-arm spinner Liam Dawson and fast bowler Nathan Ellis each took three wickets in the low-scoring innings at Lord's.
