Manchester Originals vs London Spirit, 9th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Time for us to hop off. Manchester would be elated with this win. This might just get their campaign on the right track. They had only one win last season. The Spirit side were wooden spooners in the last season and would want to definitely do better in this season. They now have one win and two losses. But will look to bounce back. We will bounce back in as well with more cricketing action. 

Sonny Baker | Match Hero: Massive, tough start to the competition and great turnaround today, really happy. I was just trying to bowl fast and swing the new ball and was just trying to get my lines right (in the first spell). He (Warner) is a tough competitor and one of the best for a long long time now, margin of error is very less and really enjoyed the challenge (against him). First game bowling with Jimmy Anderson from the Jimmy Anderson End is pretty surreal. Ever since I have been young, I wanted to keep bowling fast and it is a personal challenge to maintain that consistency.

21:22 Local Time, 20:22 GMT, 01:52 IST: A case of too much to do in the last lap and London have fallen short by 10 runs. David Warner played the anchor role and got the timely fours. But KW played a poor knock and scored only 19 off 20 balls. The rest of the batters were always chasing a stiff equation and got out while trying to play the big shots. The pacers from the Originals - Tongue, Baker, Currie - did really well and never gave much away. Even Noor was superb after conceding three fours in his first set. The Originals bowled to plan and have managed to get their first win of the season. The London side would feel that they could have started better in the run chase. But I guess the bowling was just top class from the Originals. Earlier, the batting line up from the Originals put up a solid top-order performance to take their team beyond 160.

Scott Currie to Pope, 1 run, fuller length delivery, angled in, clipped down to long-on and Manchester Originals finally find a win. They had lost two on the bounce and but they win here by 10 runs. Their first win of the season
