The 22nd clash of The Hundred 2025 at Lord’s on August 20 proved a one-sided affair as Northern Superchargers powered past London Spirit by eight wickets. Zak Crawley’s composed half-century and Dan Lawrence’s explosive cameo guided the Superchargers to a comfortable chase, knocking off 136 with 18 balls to spare. While Crawley anchored the innings, it was Lawrence’s audacious no-look six that stole the spotlight and sent fans into raptures.

The defining moment of the night came in the 75th ball of the chase. Facing Liam Dawson, Lawrence showcased sheer audacity—swinging across the line with his eyes already turned away. The ball sailed deep over midwicket for six, leaving the crowd stunned and commentators scrambling for superlatives.
Lawrence’s stroke wasn’t just a boundary—it was a statement of confidence. The blow took him to 35* off 20 deliveries and underlined the Superchargers’ dominance. He eventually finished with a brisk 37 from 22 balls (3 fours, 1 six), complementing Crawley’s measured knock.

Zak Crawley anchors Northern Superchargers to a commanding win over London Spirit
Earlier, London Spirit could only manage 135/3 from their 100 balls. Jamie Smith’s tidy 41 and Ollie Pope’s unbeaten 52 provided some resistance, but a lack of acceleration kept the innings subdued. Superchargers’ attack, led by Tom Lawes (2/34) and Matthew Potts (1/30), ensured the scoring rate remained in check.
In response, Zak Crawley and Dawid Malan stitched together a brisk 63-run opening stand. Malan fell for 22, but Crawley pressed on with elegant stroke play, registering an unbeaten 55 off 38 balls, laced with five fours and two sixes. His composure provided the perfect base for Lawrence to unleash his fireworks, the pair adding 56 runs in quick time. Once Lawrence departed, captain Harry Brook finished proceedings with a couple of boundaries, sealing victory in emphatic fashion.
Crawley’s unbeaten half-century earned him the Player of the Match award, while the Superchargers’ 138/2 in 82 balls boosted their top-four push. Yet, it was Lawrence’s unforgettable no-look six that will be remembered as the defining image of the contest.
