Stay tuned for the presentation...

Earlier in the game, Faf du Plessis won the toss and elected to bat first. Things did not go as planned as they managed to post a par total of 143 on the board. Faf du Plessis and Adam Hose were the two key contributors. They did speak about the wicket being a little tricky but the batters of London Spirit smashed their way through to their fourth consecutive victory.

Well, for Northern Superchargers it's been disappointing. They failed to bowl in the right areas and were taken to the cleaners right from the word go. They probably thought they could put up a strong show here but London Spirit had other ideas. They did manage to grab three wickets but it was a little too late for them. Had they grabbed early wickets and put pressure early on, things could have been different. Northern Superchargers have now lost their third game in a row and find themselves in a spot of bother.

London Spirit walked out to bat with some positive intent! Adam Rossington and Daniel Bell-Drummond put on a fiery opening partnership of 69 runs, with Adam Rossington playing the role of an aggressor while Daniel Bell-Drummond played a perfect second fiddle. Rossington notched up the fastest fifty of the Men's Hundred competition and powered London Spirit to a total of 63 at the end of the Powerplay. Daniel Bell-Drummond departed soon after that, but Glenn Maxwell walked out and started firing without wasting much time. Adam Rossington and Dan Lawrence were the other two batters who did perish but Maxwell stayed till the end and guided London Spirit over the line.

At the halfway mark of the game, we thought the pitch was going to get slower and batting would be tough, but London Spirit did not quite think that. They have made a mockery of this chase and have breezed past through with ease. The crowd at Headingley have been treated with some high-quality shots. It might have not been from the home side, but they have witnessed some brutal power-hitting here. London Spirit continue to sit at the top of the table with this victory.

FOUR! Glenn Maxwell ends the game with a boundary! Craig Miles bangs in a slower bouncer angled into the body. Glenn Maxwell pulls this and the ball hits high on his bat. It lobs over Adil Rashid at short fine leg and runs away to the fine leg fence for four. London Spirit have won by seven wickets and with 18 balls to spare!

Craig Miles serves this one a good length and just outside off, Eoin Morgan cuts this late towards deep point for a run.

Dwayne Bravo goes for a slower delivery once again and serves this full on the pads, Eoin Morgan clips the ball to long on for a single.

Dwayne Bravo bangs this in short and outside off, Eoin Morgan pulls this wide of deep square leg and takes a couple of runs.

Dwayne Bravo goes for a loopy slower delivery full and on off, Glenn Maxwell is in position for a reverse sweep and the ball takes forever to reach him. He adjusts late to play this to short third man and take a single.

Dwayne Bravo serves this on a good length and outside off, Eoin Morgan works this towards deep cover and takes a single. London Spirit are now one big hit away from a win.

Eoin Morgan the skipper of London Spirit comes to the crease.

OUT! CAUGHT! Dwayne Bravo picks up a consolation wicket! He serves this one full and wide outside off, takes some pace off the ball. Dan Lawrence slices his lofted shot towards long off and Harry Brook is in place to take a comfortable catch. Dwayne Bravo performs a dance but its a little to late to celebrate.
