Short steers Superchargers to Hundred win

Australia's Matt Short helped steer the Northern Superchargers to a Duckworth-Lewis-Stern victory over London Spirit to keep their Hundred campaign alive.

Spirit batted first at Headingley and managed only 111 from their 100 balls as ENgland legspinner Adil Rashid took 3-16.

In reply, the Superchargers had reached 1-64 off 44 balls before rain intervened, giving them victory under the DLS method by 21 runs.

Victorian Short made an unbeaten 25 off 19 balls, laced with five fours, while fellow opener Graham Clark hit 26 off 13 with two fours and two sixes.

For Spirit, it was a seventh loss from eight games, while the home side will now hope either Welsh Fire or Manchester Originals can do them a favour across the last two days of the competition's group stages.

If the Leeds-based side makes the knockout stages it would complete a notable progression from their last-placed finish in 2023.

"We've got a bit of a waiting game tomorrow and Thursday, but hopefully one of those two teams do lose and we're good," said man-of-the-match Rashid.
