Manchester Originals vs Northern Superchargers, 17th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

A comprehensive win for Manchester Originals and they jump to the fifth spot. Klaasen returned to form in style, Ravindra was excellent with bat and ball, Noor picked a couple of wickets and the speedsters were impressive as usual. On that note, it's time to bring the curtains down on this encounter. There's one more match starting shortly - Birmingham Phoenix vs London Spirit. See you there.

Buttler | Match Hero: Obviously have let a couple of games slip. Had to win today. Used wicket, played on it a couple of times before. Was just about trying to stay patient and not frustrated at not timing the ball. Both of them played extremely well (Rachin and Klaasen). High class players, great to have in your side. We've seen how the wicket can be, plan was to keep it simple. Great variety in the attack. Baker and Tongue complement each other. Noor is a trumpcard.

17:08 Local Time, 16:08 GMT, 21:38 IST: Manchester Originals keep their hopes alive with a convincing win. They posted 171 on the board - thanks to Buttler's fifty, Ravindra's crucial 31 and then Klaasen's quickfire half-ton in the end. With the ball, Josh Tongue struck twice with the new ball. Generated good bounce by hitting the deck hard to dismiss Crawley and Pepper in the powerplay. Captain Brook got going with back-to-back fours against Gregory but he perished while trying to sweep Rachin Ravindra. Lawrence followed him immediately after that as he was trapped lbw by Noor. Malan got a start but couldn't put any sort of pressure on the opposition. Miller was Northern Superchargers' best batter and top-scored but once he was deceived by Tongue's slower ball, the visitors capitulated quickly.
