Paul Walter’s 80 Rocks the Hundred | UK News

Paul Walter stunned everyone with an explosive 80 off just 46 balls, leading Manchester Super Giants to a commanding 186 for 4 and a 20-run win over Sunrisers Leeds — securing their spot in the final. Coming in early after his opener fell second ball, Walter formed a blistering 114-run stand with Heinrich Klaasen, who smashed 63 off 26. Despite Sunrisers’ top order showing promise, key batsmen couldn’t convert starts, while Josh Tongue starred with 4 for 26. The surprise £31k signing, who wasn’t even a regular starter at the start of the tournament, now averages 76 with a strike rate over 180 — putting him firmly on the map as the hero of the Hundred.
