Scorecard<\/a>. Table<\/a><\/p>\n Will Jacks hit his first half-century of this year’s edition of The Hundred to help MI London claim a nerve-shredding last-ball win over Southern Brave.<\/p>\n Jacks hit three fours and two sixes in his 41-ball knock of 54 to provide the backbone of MI’s chase of 130 on a tricky pitch in Southampton.<\/p>\n At 93-3 and with England all-rounder Jacks in good touch, MI had looked on course for a comfortable win only to lose four wickets for 34 runs.<\/p>\n The momentum shifted to Brave when Jacks was trapped lbw to a toe-crushing yorker from Marcus Stoinis, who had earlier removed MI skipper James Vince and Nicholas Pooran for ducks in consecutive deliveries.<\/p>\n Sherfane Rutherford’s 21 off 12 balls swung it back the visitors’ way only for a nail-biting finale as he and Rashid Khan were run out while Tom Curran was bowled by Nikhil Chaudhary.<\/p>\n With two runs needed from the final delivery of the match – bowled by Chaudhary – Ollie Pope managed to slash through point and scamper back for a second.<\/p>\n Brave had earlier posted 129-9 thanks to a 26-ball 49 from England wicketkeeper Jamie Smith at the top of the order.<\/p>\n Smith cracked six fours and two sixes before he chipped a slower ball from veteran seamer Richard Gleeson into the hands of long on.<\/p>\n Tristan Stubbs added 38 off 31 balls while Chaudhary made 13, but they were the only other Brave players to make double figures.<\/p>\n The wickets were shared around MI’s attack with Kiwi left-arm seamer Trent Boult the pick with 2-15 as Tom Curran, Sam Curran and Gleeson also claimed two apiece.<\/p>\n MI are third in the standings on eight points – level with leaders Manchester Super Giants and second-placed Welsh Fire having played a game more – while Brave are second bottom having lost their first three games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Hundred men’s competition, Utilita Bowl Southern Brave 129-9 (100 balls): Smith 49 (26); Boult 2-15 MI London…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":827987,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85],"class_list":["post-827986","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cricket","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/827986","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=827986"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/827986\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/827987"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=827986"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=827986"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=827986"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
