Australian cricketer David Warner, who is yet to hang up his boots from the T20 leagues even though he has retired from international cricket, has now become the fifth-highest run-getter of T20 cricket. He did this while playing a match for London Spirit against Manchester Originals in The Hundred competition in England. During that match, Warner played a solid innings, making 71 runs from 51 balls. His knock contained 12 fours and a single six, and he had a strike rate of over 139. Even his valiant try was not enough for London Spirit to chase the total set by Manchester Originals, who scored 164 runs. Manchester's score was laid on solid performances by Phil Salt (31 runs in 20 balls), Ben McKinney (29 runs in 12 balls), and Jos Buttler (46 runs in 37 balls).
