J Ball to D Willey
Slower one into the strip, and the batter bunts it down once again, of the top half of the blade. This one goes towards mid on and the duo scampers for a single.

D Payne to D Willey
FOURRR!! Well, this time Willey finishes things in his own way!! Short and wide from Payne and the batter slashes at it with a flat bat approach and the gets a boundary behind the square of wicket on the offside. End to a mini hustle between him and the bowlers of the opposition. The fielder at backward point dived to his sideways but all in vain as the spherical cork flashed towards the fences in haste.
NS won by 6 wickets
Deepak: That concludes the 26th game of Men’s Hundred between Welsh Fire and Northern Superchargers where Northern Superchargers thumped Welsh Fire by 6 wickets. From the Supercharger's side, we got to see the sight of smoky batting from the very beginning. Welsh Fire is still not able to open their winning account.
Superchargers came out to chase down 115 runs and started their inning fearlessly as they were able to score 42 runs without losing any wicket in the powerplay. Adam Lyth had taken bowlers on remand from the beginning. Faf du Plessis and Adam Lyth added 75 runs for the first wicket as Adam Lyth fell just 3 runs short of his half-century and departed scoring 47 runs off 34 balls and was soon joined by the Skipper Faf who scored 32 runs off 24 balls and got out on 59th ball of the inning.
Northern Superchargers lost a couple of wickets in quick succession in the end but by then it was too late for Welsh Fire.
On the other hand, Ish Sodhi was the pick of the bowler for the Welsh Fire as he picked up 2 wickets giving away just 14 runs in his 20 balls quota. Matthew Critchley picked up one wicket.

Adam Lyth (Player of the match): "Yeah nice to get the team help go over the line. It would be better if I could do it on my own till the end. Oh no I think, we got the best of the conditions and will look to get some more in the next few games. Thank you!!"
Faf du Plessis: "On such a wicket you are not sure about to bat first or bowl first. Lyth is in the form at the moment, in the purple patch. I think he is in his space, not thinking too much and just hitting the ball after watching it. Really nice that he is using his form and making that count for the team.
The chat between us was to see the first 6-8 balls and see what the condition has. I think it was Lyth who got that big over down and I think once we got the partnership on, we were all set for the chase..
I think this wasn't the pitch you see too often in The Hundred. But you gotta adapt you can't just say that I'm gonna bat on the 160 wickets always."

That’s a wrap from our side as well. The 26th match of the Hundred Men's is done and dusted and Welsh fire are yet to open their victory account and this is their continuous seventh defeat.
