London Spirits ride on Pollard exploits to top the table

Jordan Thompson produced the finest Hundred bowling figures of the season as London Spirit beat Manchester Originals by 52 runs to register a second consecutive win and go top of the table. Spirit were wobbling at 120 for 5 when they were rescued by a blistering cameo from Kieron Pollard, who smashed 34 off just 11 deliveries – including two huge sixes off Fred Klaassen’s final set – to propel his team up to the 160 mark. Originals were never in contention during chase of 161 and went down by 52 runs.
