Scorecard. Table
Southern Brave claimed a seven-wicket victory over London Spirit to start their season in The Hundred men’s competition at the Utilita Bowl.
Batting first, the Spirit were struggling at 49-5 after 48 balls, with former England international Craig Overton taking three early wickets for the Brave.
The Spirit did however fight back, first via Dan Lawrence, who scored 38, and then via a late flurry of runs from Liam Dawson, who ended not out on 45 off just 19 balls as the Spirit ended on 138-9.
The Brave got their chase off to a flying start through their opening batters. Captain James Vince, alongside Dan Hughes (45), put on a 95-run stand for the opening wicket.
Vince went on to make 56 before being bowled by opposing captain Lawrence, but by that point, Brave needed just 22 runs to win from the final 28 balls.
The hosts clinched victory with 11 balls to spare, with Lees du Plooy ending on 23 not out.
