Presentation coming up...
Earlier in the game, it was a Jos Buttler show. His vicious knock of 75 runs made the Manchester Originals reach a good total of 164 runs. Philip Salt and Paul Walter played their cameos too. For Northern Superchargers, their bowlers just failed to pick up the wickets at the start. They did well at the end. Adil Rashid ended up with a four-fer.
Well, to be honest, there is not much to write about the Northern Superchargers batters here. They just kept on losing wickets at regular intervals. Six of their batters were dismissed on a single digit. They will now just be hoping for the London Spirits to lose their game.
It was certainly one-way traffic throughout the game. Manchester Originals claw their way to the second spot and Northern Superchargers are nearly out of this tournament with this loss if the Spirits win their game later. Manchester Original's bowlers spat fire over the Northern Superchargers batters right from the get-go. Calvin Harrison was the pick of the bowlers as he ended up with a five-fer on his name. Tom Hartley picked in with a couple of wickets whilst Josh Tongue and Jamie Overton have one in their kitty. They won it comprehensively by 81 runs.

OUT! IT IS ALL OVER! Short-pitched delivery body bound, Adil Rashid looks to pull this one but gets hurried by brute pace behind this. The sliced bat edge lobs to the left of Laurie Evans but he covers good ground and takes a splendid catch. Manchester Originals have won this game convincingly by 81 runs.
