Northern Superchargers vs Manchester Originals, 26th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

History was created in the #100 with the 200-run mark being breached. It has also meant that there's a lot more to play for as the franchises get ready for the business end of the tournament. Another big game coming up tomorrow and it's another derby. It's Nottingham's Trent Rockets up against Brimingham's Phoenix. Do join us for all the action. For now, cheers and bye..

David Willey | Winning captain - Today was close to a perfect performance from us, to do so in front of this crowd was superb. He (John Simpson) was fantastic, the way he played his shots was superb, he showed that he can play any type of game. Every game is a must-win for us, we have played some good cricket so far, without having the results to show for it. At the half-way stage, we just needed to bowl with the basics. Losing someone like Harry (Brooks) to Covid is a huge blow, but as we saw tonight, it gives the others an opportunity to come out and show what they can do.

Carlos Brathwaite | Losing captain - It was a bad performance overall, we did create chances early on, but we dropped catches and then conceded boundaries as well. These things can happen, we are human, we couldn't handle the crowd pressure and the noise, we fumbled after creating chances. Chasing 200 off 100 balls, 99 times out of 100, you'll go on to lose.

John Simpson, Man of the Match: Definitely special and a knock I would cherish more than the rest. We knew it was going to be a massive match against the Originals and take the game on. Fortunately came off today and hopefully it would stand us good for Thursday. I just tried to get used to the wicket, take 4-5 balls and take the game from there and be smart with it. It was just one of those things and glad it came off. Rashid has been giving me a few headaches over the years as a kid. Mujeeb is world class. Both of them have fantastic variations and have created pressure in the middle periods.

21:41 Local Time, 20:41 GMT, 02:11 IST: A near perfect encounter from the hosts - they were missing a couple of their mainstays, lost the toss, were asked to bat and then became the first team to crack the 200-mark in the #100. Chris Lynn started with a couple of sixes, Jordan Thompson provided the impetus with a breezy cameo and then the stage was set for a stunning onslaught by John Simpson, the wicket-keper batsman's 28-ball unbeaten 71 powering his team to a massive score. The chase never really got going - the Originals batsmen came out slogging and they ended up second best. Carlos Brathwaite's 21 was the highest score, as every batsmen fell to the scoreboard pressure. The win takes the Superchargers to 4th in the table, while the Originals are left to lick their wounds after a net run-rate dismantling loss.
