Delray Rawlins teammate Jofra Archer’s hat-trick in a dramatic last over saw Sussex to a 12-run win over hosts Middlesex at Lord’s.
Archer claimed the vital wicket of Eoin Morgan just as England’s white-ball captain threatened an unlikely win for the hosts with his score of 90, his highest in T20 cricket.
Sussex’s hero then bowled John Simpson to seal victory before completing his hat-trick by trapping James Fuller LBW – a performance that led the MCC to ask for Archer to donate his shirt to the Lord’s museum.
The drama came after a blistering half-century off just 19 balls from Phil Salt and 49 from debutante Rawlins had helped the visitors post a challenging total of 168.
Rawlins on T20 debut after being called up to replace the rested Tymal Mills - took up the quest for runs, one reverse sweep into the stands off Agar probably the shot of the innings.
