And decides to win it in style! Full, outside off, laced through extra cover and it's a second Superchargers win of the day! Zak Crawley, on his debut after moving from London Spirit, cracks 67 not out from 38 to see them to a target of 144 with eight wickets and 11 balls to spare!
Fire vs N S-Chargers, 3rd Match at Leeds, Men's Hundred, Aug 07 2025 - Match Result
N S-Chargers won by 8 wickets (with 11 balls remaining)
Meredith and Josh Hull's 10-run partnership is WF-M's highest for the 10th wicket in T20s, breaking the record of 5 between Pretorius and Jake Ball
9:32pm Right, that us done. Join us tomorrow for more merriment with Birmingham Phoenix and Trent Rockets beginning their campaigns...
9:30pm Unsurprisingly, the Meerkat Match Hero is Zak Crawley: "The boys are great, and coming here with Freddie, he's a legend. And it's an awesome pitch to bat on.
"The gameplan for us was to play strong shots. I felt like me and Dawid complimented me quite nicely, hitting to different areas. And the skipper (Harry Brook) is some player."
Straight, into off stump, worked out to deep midwicket... Brook wants two to win it but Crawley says no
Mid-crease, conventional offie, worked out towards Smith once more. Just one
Tight to the stumps, front of the hand, pushed down to Smith at long on
4 off 15 required. Good luck, Chris Green...
Check square drive for six! Outrageous shot... easier to play with the wide full toss, but incredible hands from Brook. Times it with aplomb
Hammered through cover! Slower ball sits up this time - 63mph, into a length - and Brook steps into that with real class and a bit of flourish with the wrists at the end to get it that far in front of square
Full toss, on the stumps, lifted out to deep midwicket, one bounce to Chris Green about five feet in front of the sponge, just a single
Slower ball, out wide, Crawley steps across to try and smear it to the leg side but misses out
Charged... and edged for four! Perfectly bisects the keeper and short third
David Payne back into the attack
Meredith is done. Superchargers needs a straightforward 19 from 20
Mid-crease, short, sits up, 76mph, pulled firmly out to green very square this time
Short, pulled out to deep midwicket where Chris Green sprints across the and fields
Jamie: "Crawley decides he can bat again after leaving London Spirit. Pretty much sums up the Lord's club at the minute (well, the men's team anyway!) "
Sharp, 90mph, into Crawley, worked out to Zaib again
Bit of an issue here with Riley Meredith, as he takes on what seems to be some energy gel. Looks like he's cramping in his lower legs, stretching them out as he gets the taste out of his mouth with some water
Tight to the stumps, follows Brook, who flicks this out to deep square where Saif Zaib gets the big build-up.... and fields cleanly this time
Pace off, length, Crawley doubles over mis-timing that into his front pad, gets away with a single into point
Meredith with his final 5...
Shelled! Brook gets one at him and flips this high into the night sky... Saif Zaib gets under it, watches it well but then tumbles as the ball comes down and drops it. In front of the Western Terrace, too...
Into the body as Brook moves to leg, sharp, brilliantly guided by Brook, right out of the middle, and brilliantly stopped by TKC fielding at backward point/short third
Steps across, Hull follows him, ends up wearing it - 76mph - down to deep third
Bang! Imperious way to bring up his half-century, shuffling to the side and then forward, and launching into the stands at wide long off. Comes from 29 deliveries, three fours and four sixes! On his Northern Superchargers debut no less...
Full, outside off, Brook steps away and guide sit over where an orthodox point would be, out to the man in the deep
Hull is back
Tight to the crease, drilled flat along the ground past the bowler, fielded by long on
