Kane Williamson’s London Spirit Defeats Welsh Fire Despite Bairstow’s Explosive Innings

In the sixth match of The Hundred League, London Spirit, batting first, scored 163 runs for 5 wickets in 100 balls. Although captain Kane Williamson did not perform well, scoring only 14 runs off 14 balls, former Australian batsman David Warner played a blistering innings, helping his team reach a strong score. Warner scored an unbeaten 70 runs off 45 balls, including 8 fours and 2 sixes. In response, Welsh Fire could only score 155 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in 100 balls, resulting in an 8-run defeat. Apart from Jonny Bairstow, who remained unbeaten, Chris Green scored 32 runs off 21 balls, including 2 fours and 1 six. Daniel Worrall of London Spirit took the most wickets, with two. Bairstow, representing Mumbai Indians in IPL 2025, couldn’t steer his team to victory.

Jamie Smith also contributed 26 runs off 14 balls for London Spirit. Josh Hall from Welsh Fire took two wickets.
