Pooran's Heroics Power Superchargers to Comeback Win, Stokes Injured

Pooran’s Heroics Power Superchargers to Comeback Win, Stokes Injured

By August 12, 2024 0

Northern Superchargers’ Nicholas Pooran played a pivotal role in their thrilling seven-wicket victory over Manchester Originals in The Hundred, smashing an unbeaten 66 off just 33 balls. The win keeps Superchargers’ hopes of reaching the knockout stages alive.

However, the match was overshadowed by an injury to England Test captain Ben Stokes, who is now a doubt for the upcoming series against Sri Lanka. Stokes sustained a suspected hamstring injury while running a single in the second innings.

Pooran’s heroics came after Manchester Originals had posted an imposing 156 for 3, with Phil Salt contributing 61. But Superchargers’ spinners, led by Mitchell Santner (3-24), restricted Originals’ scoring rate in the latter stages of their innings.

In the chase, Superchargers lost two early wickets but Pooran’s arrival at the crease changed the game. He struck eight sixes and four fours, ably supported by Harry Brook (43) and Adam Hose (26 not out).

The victory was a testament to Superchargers’ resilience and the brilliance of Pooran, who has been in exceptional form throughout the competition. However, the injury to Stokes is a major concern for England, who are set to face Sri Lanka in a three-Test series starting on August 21.

By August 11, 2024 0

Oval Invincibles secured their place in the knockout rounds of The Hundred with a dominant nine-wicket victory over London Spirit at The Kia Oval. Jordan Cox, who was recently selected for the England Men’s Test team, played a pivotal role in the win, smashing an unbeaten 61 off just 30 balls.

The Spirit, who were already eliminated from contention, struggled to post a competitive total, managing only 96 runs in their first innings. Michael Pepper provided a bright start with a quickfire 27, but his dismissal triggered a collapse that saw Spirit lose five wickets for just 52 runs.

Adam Zampa, who has been in impressive form throughout the tournament, continued his fine run with figures of 4 for 17. Ollie Stone, another England Men’s squad member, also bowled well, conceding just 16 runs from his four overs.

Invincibles’ chase was never in doubt, with Cox leading the charge from the outset. The 21-year-old opener struck seven fours and two sixes, including the winning blow that sealed the victory with 37 balls to spare.

The win means Sam Billings’ side, who have won six of their seven games, are guaranteed a place in the top three of the men’s competition. Their final game against Trent Rockets will determine whether they will advance directly to The Hundred Final on August 18 or play in The Hundred Eliminator the day before.
