Craig Overton hits winning six off twin Jamie as Trent Rockets beat London Spirit
Trent Rockets won by four wickets after Craig Overton hit the winning six off twin Jamie Overton at Trent Bridge.
Craig Overton smashed the winning six off his twin brother Jamie to seal Trent Rockets' four-wicket victory over London Spirit at Trent Bridge in the Hundred. Jos Buttler's 90 off 50 balls carried the chase, but it was the Overton brothers' collision in the final over that'll get replayed.
London Spirit had set a target that kept things tight all the way through. The match hung in the balance until Craig struck — facing Jamie's delivery in a family showdown that's rare even in franchise cricket. Rockets' narrow win lifts them in the table after a run of close contests early in the tournament.

When you're chasing in the final over against your own brother, the scoreboard stops mattering. What lingers is that moment — the pressure of family, the knowledge of each other's patterns, the fact that one of you will carry this. That's the texture short-form cricket misses when it reduces things to strike rates and economy.
