Northern Superchargers moved into the knockout places of The Hundred men’s competition after their match with London Spirit at Headingley was abandoned because of rain.
Chasing 111, the Superchargers were comfortably ahead of the run-rate on 64-1 after 44 balls when the skies opened, winning the match by 21 runs on the DLS method.
The result means they move second in the table having played all their group matches, but they will need other games to go in their favour if they are to reach the elimination match.
Having been put into bat, Spirit swiftly lost Michael Pepper and Dan Lawrence to the home side’s seamers, but Keaton Jennings made a 12-ball 30 before being caught by Pat Brown off the bowling of Reece Topley.
He was the only batter in their top five to pass five, as the Spirit slid to 62-6 with England spinner Adil Rashid taking 3-16.
Veteran Ravi Bopara (31) put on 39 for the seventh wicket with Liam Dawson (27*) before he was bowled by Matty Potts with the penultimate ball of the innings.
Olly Stone was run out from the final delivery as Spirit finished on a below-par 111-8.
The Superchargers reached 47-0 in reply before Matt Critchley had Graham Clark (25) caught by Pepper from the first ball after the powerplay.
Ollie Robinson (13*) came in to join Matthew Short (25*) and the Superchargers looked set to cruise to victory until conditions intervened.
