Bairstow's blitz in vain as Spirit edge past Fire
Published: 8/9/2025
Jonny Bairstow's remarkable unbeaten 86 from 50 balls couldn't save Welsh Fire as London Spirit clinched an intense eight-run victory in The Hundred. Bairstow's explosive innings included six fours and six sixes, with notable support from Chris Green as they formed a 100-run partnership. Despite a top-order collapse, Spirit's 163-5, anchored by David Warner's unbeaten 70, proved to be enough as Fire's struggle continued, leaving both their men's and women's teams winless.
