    That too with 100 balls per innings London Spirit openers failed to impress their fans with an impressive start. But soon after Josh Inglis’s dismissal Daniel Lawrence and Zak Crawley start to attack with their bat.

    Opening batsman Zak Crawley makes a long stand and scored 144 runs for 6 wickets loss at the end of the 100 balls. Zak Crawley scored 64 runs off 40 deliveries and registered the maiden half-century of the men’s 2021 The Hundred.

    Player of the Match

    Zak Crawley

    It was nice to score runs. I am pleased with how I played. It wasn’t easy to start and we didn’t get as many as we should’ve in the back-end. It was lovely playing in front of the crowd. All are bowlers bowled really well but their batters applied themselves well. I try and enjoy every game.
