London Spirit, on Sunday, outfoxed Northern Superchargers by seven wickets to extend their dominance at the top of the table in the ongoing 100-ball tournament.
London Spirit Win
How did the chase go?
A sumptuous 66 off 25 balls by wicketkeeper-batter Adam Rossington, which also marks the fastest half-century in the history of The Hundred, braced with a clinical bowling performance set up London Spirit's fourth successive win of the season.
The Spirit bowlers were right on the money as they restricted the Superchargers to a meagre total of 143/5 after being asked to bowl first.
In pursuit of a minuscule target, Rossington played a sublime knock at the top of the order to provide a flying start to the team. His 66-run knock was studded with 3 fours and 7 towering sixes.
Later the star Australian Glenn Maxwell weaved his magic with the willow and smashed an unbeaten 43 off just 25 balls to eke out a comfortable victory with 18 balls to spare.
Daniel Bell-Drummond (15) and Daniel Lawrence (18) also played handy cameos in the middle. On the bowling front, Roelof van der Merwe, Dwayne Bravo and Adil Rashid bagged a wicket each for Superchargers.
