1:24 AM IST, 8:54 PM Local Time: So, the players shake hands as the rain continues to fall and another match in The Hundred has been abandoned owing to persistent rainfall.
The opening pair of Finn Allen and Devon Conway began the innings for Southern Brave. However, Daniel Worrall dismissed Devon Conway on the 7th ball, and Conway departed without troubling the scorers. Just as 11 balls were bowled, rain made an unwelcome entrance, leading to a delay of around 90 minutes.
This disruption resulted in the match being shortened to 50 balls per inning. When play resumed, James Vince and Finn Allen showed a positive approach, striking boundaries confidently. Finn Allen's innings ended after contributing 13 runs, followed by Daryl Mitchell dismissing skipper James Vince in the subsequent set, with Vince scoring 19 runs. On the bowling front, Daniel Worrall, Liam Dawson, and Daryl Mitchell each claimed a wicket for London Spirit. However, the unwanted guest, rain, returned once again to play the role of a spoilsport, and unfortunately, the match has been abandoned.
