[WATCH]- Fazalhaq Farooqi Gets Ollie Pope Out For A Golden Duck With An Inswinger In The Hundred 2024

Fazalhaq Farooqi, the speedster for Manchester Originals, sent Ollie Pope back to the pavilion with an exceptional inswinger in match number twenty-three of The Hundred Men’s Competition 2024. The Dan Lawrence-led side is now out of contention for the knockout stages after losing at Lord’s by 12 runs on Friday, August 9.

The hosts were given a target of 136 runs after Manchester Originals’ captain Phil Salt scored fifty runs in the first innings. During their innings chase, London Spirit had an early loss when Farooqi got rid of Michael Pepper at last but one ball of the four-ball first circuit.

After pitching, although it was a little inside for Pope hence the ball eventually breached through from between his bat and pad breaking into stumps.

The double strike by the 23-year-old left-arm pacer gave the visitors the burst of early momentum that they needed. The London Spirit lost Dan Lawrence with only 12 runs on the board to be three down. Shimron Hetmyer and Keaton Jennings tried to make a comeback but they ended up losing the game at 123/5, losing by 12 runs on that occasion.
