Men’s Hundred | Bairstow's fifty combined with Payne-Rauf's two-wicket haul clinches victory for Welsh Fire
Welsh Fire beat Trent Rockets by four runs in a thrilling encounter at Trent Bridge. Batting brilliance from Jonny Bairstow and Tom Abell took the Welsh side to 129/6 whereas Trent Rockets batting failed in the middle and lower order as Haris Rauf and David Payne’s bowling sealed Welsh’s victory.
In response, the Trent Rockets got off to a solid start as openers Tom Banton and Alex Hales took the scorecard to 32/0 in 25 deliveries. However, Mason Crane broke the opening stand and dismissed Banton on the 28th delivery. Additionally, the in-form Hales was dismissed by Wells on the 36th with the scorecard at 55/2 in 40 deliveries. Unlike his batting carnage in the last match, Joe Root struggled to score big as Welsh spinners stabilized Trent’s run flow. However, Root and Saim Hain continued to take singles and doubles as Trent required 62 off 45 deliveries. With Root’s departure in the 12th set, things looked tense for the Rockets as Rovman Powell walked into bat joining Hain. With 94/3 after 75 deliveries, the duo was slowly paving the way for their victory, with Powell taking charge. Unfortunately, his innings was cut short by Haris Rauf on the 77th delivery as Trent required 36 runs off 23 deliveries. Ultimately, David Payne and Haris Rauf’s brilliant bowling at the death scalping four wickets, sealed the victory for Welsh. The Fire won the contest by four runs as Trent Rockets' batting collapsed towards the end.
