Opting to bowl first, Southern Brave were taken apart by Welsh Fire skipper Jonny Bairstow (72 off 39 deliveries) along with Ben Duckett (53 off 34 deliveries) as they ended up scoring 165/4 in their quota of 100 balls.

But when the James Vince-led Southern Brave who are yet to win a game in this 100-ball tournament came out to chase the target, the Kiwi all-rounder made sure the opponents didn’t get going at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff on Tuesday.

There’s an old saying, every dog has his day,” Neesham wrote on Twitter along with a laughing emoji while responding to The Hundred’s official twitter handle.
