Vitality Blast Rewind: Wheal Takes Five Against Glamorgan

With the 2022 season now firmly in the rear-view mirror we're taking a look back at some of the performances that caught the eye throughout the campaign.

Having begun the 2022 Vitality Blast with four straight defeats, Hampshire Hawks had made a dramatic turnaround with three wins on the bounce going into their match against Glamorgan at Sophia Gardens.

The Hawks were put into bat first and scores in the forties form skipper James Vince and Joe Weatherley - as well as a cameo from young Toby Albert - guided them to a score of 134/4.

What followed was a superb performance from the bowling attack. Mason Crane and Chris Wood took two and three wickets respectively but it was to be Brad Wheal that stole the show.

The Scottish international began by finding the edge of the dangerous Colin Ingram with the final ball of his first over, before taking the wickets of Kiran Carlson and Eddie Byrom in consecutive deliveries to put his side in the ascendency.

After a quiet third over, Wheal came back in to bowl the final over of Glamorgan's innings and showed his typical steeliness at the death.

The home side needed 17 runs to win with two wickets remaining but a beautiful delivery from Wheal hit the stumps of Dan Douthwaite and then Sisodiya was caught by Liam Dawson with the penultimate ball of the match - giving the Hawks a nine-run victory and Wheal his first five-for in a T20 match.
