Northern Superchargers reclaimed third place with an eight-wicket win over London Spirit at Lord's. London Spirit posted 135-3 in 100 balls, led by Ollie Pope's 52 not out and Jamie Smith's 41. Scoring proved difficult on a slow, tricky pitch with only one boundary in the final 33 balls. Superchargers chased 136 with 18 balls remaining, reaching 138-2 in 82 balls. Zak Crawley batted through for 55 not out, sharing partnerships of 63 with Dawid Malan and 56 with Dan Lawrence. Crawley's innings moved him to the top of the tournament's run charts.
Zak Crawley continued his strong form as Northern Superchargers reclaimed their place in the top three of The Hundred men's table with a comfortable eight-wicket victory over London Spirit at Lord's. Having been pushed down to fourth by Southern Brave's tense win at Welsh Fire earlier in the day, Superchargers moved back into third by easing to a chase of 136 with 18 balls to spare.
England's Test opener, who has said he remains keen to play across all formats at international level, hit four elegant fours in the first six balls of the chase and two sixes over the leg-side as he kicked for home. "I try to keep the fundamentals the same but I anticipate more shots than I do in a red-ball game," Crawley told Sky Sports. "That's what I have done differently this year and it has paid off."
