Jamie Overton had earlier starred with the bat for Originals, scoring a sizzling 83 from just 30 balls. Overton’s innings was the highlight of the Originals’ innings, as they posted a total of 182 for 6 in their 90 balls.
Superchargers got off to a good start in their chase, with Tim Banton and Matthew Short putting on 49 runs for the first wicket. However, Mir’s introduction into the attack turned the tide in Originals’ favour. He dismissed Banton, Harry Brook and Adam Hose in quick succession, and Superchargers never recovered from the loss of their top three batsmen.
Superchargers eventually finished on 142 for 9, and they were grateful to DLS for saving them from a 10-wicket defeat.
This was a much-needed win for the Originals, who had lost their previous two matches. They are now up to fourth place in the table, while Superchargers remain in second place.
