Hales leads Trent Rockets to thrilling victory

0 63

Chasing 133, the Rockets needed 42 from 24 balls with three wickets left when Stokes dropped Hales on the boundary edge – the ball also going for six.

Until then, Hales, who finished 40 not out from 34 balls, had struggled to lay bat on ball but thumped David Willey for a towering six to seal the win with six balls to spare, sending a large Trent Bridge crowd wild.

The Rockets had earlier been given just a two percent chance of winning by the win predictor, after Adil Rashid and the Superchargers’ spinners reduced them to 85 for seven.
