Men’s Hundred | Twitter erupts as Tymal Mills' full toss stuns Will Jacks and shattering the stumps

There is nothing more satisfying for a bowler than dismissing a well-set batter on the grandest stage of a cricket final. This was exactly the case in the final between Southern Brave and Oval Invincibles when Tymal Mills’s deceptive full toss outfoxed Oval Invincibles opener Will Jacks.

‌Winning the toss and choosing to field first backfired for the Southern Brave as the Oval Invincibles' openers got off to a blistering start. Will Jacks and Dawid Malan powered the scoreboard to 44/0 after the first five sets, establishing a strong opening partnership. However, Jofra Archer broke the momentum by dismissing Malan, and the troubles for the top order continued when Tymal Mills deceived Will Jacks with a clever delivery.

On the 37th delivery, Mills came over the wicket and delivered a tempting full toss aimed at the stumps. The English opener moved towards the leg side and attempted a powerful swing to send it over the cover region but completely missed as the ball swung through the air and crashed into the stumps. What seemed like a golden opportunity for a six turned into a misread by Jacks. The Brave supporters erupted in celebration after his dismissal, with Twitter lighting up in response.

Style and grace

Will Jacks 37 off 22 balls in The Hundred Men’s Competition, such is talent of the man that he scores the easy looking runs, with style and grace, the way he hits the ball straight or over the off side rather than slogging and that’s why in this year he has been mighty effective.

Just like him

The style of Will Jacks getting out is exactly like that of Marcus Stoinis.😂

I haven't watched it, but followed it for a certain players. Like Will Jacks, who is now batting in the final. Yesterday's eliminator match was also interesting.
