Clark’s final-ball six seals win for Superchargers

The Hundred men’s competition, Southampton

Southern Brave 139-5 (100 balls): Evans 53 (34); Duffy 3-26

Norther Superchargers 141-7 (100 balls): Crawley 38* (24); Overton 3-29

Northern Superchargers won by three wickets

Graham Clark hit the final ball for six to snatch a dramatic three-wicket victory for Northern Superchargers against Southern Brave in The Hundred.

Needing five for victory or four for a tie, Durham batter Clark heaved England international Tymal Mills over the boundary at mid-wicket.

In a see-sawing finale, Superchargers needed only 11 from the last 10 with five wickets left before Jofra Archer struck twice and conceded only one run from his final five balls.

Clark swept the second ball of the last set from Mills for four to leave five to get from three but when Mills followed with two dot balls the hosts still appeared favourites.

Mills opted for a slower ball again, however, and dropped to the ground when Clark clubbed it for six.

Clark, in contrast, roared in delight and finished 38 not out from 24 balls, having left the previous delivery believing it to be a wide outside off stump.

“That felt euphoric,” he told Sky sports.

This was the first time a match in the The Hundred men’s or women’s competitions was won by a six off from the final ball. Here’s how the finale unfolded:

We’re off to Lord’s on Thursday with the home of cricket hosting a double-header between London Spirit and Trent Rockets.
