Colin Munro strikes the ball for the Trent Rockets against the London Spirit at Trent Bridge
Colin Munro’s unbeaten knock of 67 led the Trent Rockets to a commanding win over London Spirit in The Hundred at Trent Bridge.
The left-hander anchored the run chase alongside Tom Kohler-Cadmore after the early dismissal of Alex Hales, hitting 10 boundaries off 37 balls.
Kohler-Cadmore scored 41 off 28 balls before falling late on when it was only a matter of time before the Rockets chased down a very reachable target.
The Rockets had their bowling attack to thank for that, after they limited the Spirit to 121 runs, taking nine wickets in the process. Rashid Khan took three, whilst Luke Wood, Samit Patel and Sam Cook took a pair each as the Rockets secured an important win.
