VATSAL: An Excellent win here for London Spirit as they beat last year's champion Southern Brave by 9 runs in the 10th Match of The Hundred, Spirit are 3 out of 3 this season after winning just 1 game in the last edition.
Opting to Bat 1st, Crawley and Rossington got them to a good start, both got dismissed in the space of 6 balls as they were reeling at 29 for 2. Maxwell and Bell-Drummond had a good partnership of 39 before they lost Maxwell for 34 and Morgan(1) for a run-out soon after. Bell-Drummond played a good knock of 46 off 33 balls and Pollard stayed unbeaten on 26 off 20 to get the Spirits to 147 for 6 in 100 balls.
The Brave bowling was well led by M Hogan who got 2-31 in his set of 20 along with Stoinis and Fuller who got a wicket a piece and bowled economically. T David was gone cheaply. R Whiteley kept the Brave in the chase till the last set of 5 as he scored 52 off 33 balls and was ably supported by Fuller who scored 18.
Chasing 148, Brave got off to a poor start as they lost their skipper Vince for a golden duck and de Kock soon after for 2 to a run-out. Stoinis played some good shots but was dismissed for 14. Davies looked good for his 36 off 30 but departed at the wrong time.
The London Spirits bowled terrifically throughout, J Thompson was the pick of the bowlers as he got 2-32 off his 20. Maxwell, Dawson, and Crane were economical and got a wicket a piece. B Wheal coming into the game today got the key wicket of T David and bowled with good speeds.
A good effort by the Spirits today to get over the line against Brave.

Daniel Bell-Drummond (Hero of the Match): "I felt good out there to get some runs and loved to have carried on a bit longer. The wicket was a bit two paced, once you got in it was pretty easy to go hard. They bowled quite well, Maxwell did really well and gave me time to settle in. It's still early days but a great start so far, will hope to continue this form."
Eoin Morgan (Spirit Captain): "We got a good total, our batters did well to reach that score. Our pacers bowled really well, it's been our batting in the last two games and good to see our bowling do excellently well. The shorter formats are tough, we have to dry out the boundaries, bowl tight, keep up the momentum.
We don't talk about cricket outside, it's either in nets or on the ground only. I have really loving my time out, like you guys here, it's great celebration to be back here and still go strong. The wins are hard to come by in this competition and we love the form so far."

James Vince (Brave Captain): "We got of to a good start kept Pollard quiet which is a tough ask in this form. We were happy to restrict them to that score. Ross did pretty well to take the game deep.
Few injuries have changed a things a bit, we have lot of positives, needed someone to stand up without Tymal Mills bowling those death overs and our bowlers delivered, our batting did really well today. Top order has lot of experience and Mahela sets the whole dressing room up, looks after the guys well if they don't perform well.
Tymal got a surgery today, we lost Craig Overton to a niggle, he might be back on Sunday. CJ (Chris Jordan) looks to have broke a finger as Polly (Pollard) hit one straight back at him. We lost two in a row, every game is a pretty must win games for us."
