N S-Chargers vs Spirit, 17th Match at London, Men's 100, Aug 03 2021 - Ball by Ball Commentary

full toss, van der Merwe charges out and clunks one to the cover sweeper. Superchargers win by 64 runs, they have absolutely blitzed the Spirit at Lord's

banged in back of a length, 83mph and Crane fends it away to leg, just one as Potts gives chase

length ball, 79mph and he connects with a pull, just a single to deep square

slower ball, RvdM had backed outside leg stump but is then foxed as it dips through to the keeper

fired in straight and jabbed for one leg side

speared in, Crane aims an almighty reverse-wipe - and completely misses!

Amir has a misbegotten swipe and it ends up at short third! Bit of flight on this, it grips and takes the outside edge as he aims down the ground, Rashid trots up to pouch a simple catch. Superchargers one away from bowling the home side out here

offcutter on leg stump, RvdM backs away and has a hack

speared in on the stumps, 64mph and heaved away leg side

sends this skidding through wide of the stumps, 59mph and Amir bottom-edges a cut

over the wicket, 73mph legcutter to finish, pulled through midwicket for one

length ball, flicked tamely to square leg! Advances down and plays a cute cross-batted dab, but there's no pace and it dollies straight to the man stationed inside the circle. Spirit still aren't even halfway

fired in full and wide, 78mph, Cullen aims an ambitious reverse-sweep, doesn't connect

pace off and Bopara slices high to short third! Thousand-yard stare from Ravi, as he heads for the pavilion. Canny bowling from the Durham lad, slow and wide and Bopara's attempt to flog it down the ground goes belly up

pitched up and biffed down the ground to long-on

slower ball goes wrong, looping away into the tramlines

pushed through quicker, van der Merwe goes for the reverse-slap this time... doesn't connect. Story of Spirit's night

plenty of air, 49mph and spinning through as RvdM aims leg side and misses

moves across early again, tossed up on leg stump and it deflects off the front pad as Bopara swings and misses

looped up wide of the stumps, clubbed down the ground to long-on

shuffles outside off and aims a slog-sweep, beaten by the legbreak, Simpson then whips off the bails... but instead of a stumping, it's a front-foot no-ball!

floated up wide of the stumps and Rockin' Roelof jumps out to slap to deep cover
