Rashid Khan secured the eighth five-wicket haul in the history of the men’s Hundred, leading MI London to a 45-run triumph against the Manchester Super Giants. The Afghanistan spinner claimed 5-17, marking the fifth-best individual performance in the tournament’s history as the Super Giants struggled to reach a 184-run target.
MI London built their competitive total of 183-6 thanks to Will Jacks, who scored 62 from 31 balls, and Nicholas Pooran, who contributed 54 off 28 deliveries. Despite a bright start from Super Giants captain Aiden Markram, who hit 50 off 26 balls, the batting lineup collapsed once Rashid began his spell. The visitors were eventually bowled out for 138 with five balls remaining. The win boosts MI London to second in the standings, while the Super Giants fall to fifth after their third consecutive loss.
In other action, the Trent Rockets extended their lead at the top of the table with a five-run win over Sunrisers Leeds. Ben Duckett anchored the Rockets’ 146-4 with a 64-run performance. Despite a strong 71-run partnership between Mitchell Marsh and Harry Brook for the Sunrisers, tight bowling from Mohammad Amir, who finished with 2-20, ensured the Rockets maintained their winning streak.
