Rajasthan Royals fast bowler Jofra Archer bagged a hat-trick in the last over of the match to help his side Sussex register a 12-run victory over Middlesex in the Vitality Blast South Group match at Lord's on Thursday. The right arm pacer returned with match-winning figures of 3 for 25 runs.

Batting first, Sussex scored 168 runs in 19.4 overs, thanks to Philip Salt's 20-ball 50 and Delray Rawlins' 35-ball 49. Chasing the target, Middlesex were riding on the back of Eoin Morgan's sole innings of 56-ball 90.

Archer came on to bowl the last over when the hosts needed 16 runs off the last six balls with six wickets including the one of Morgan in hand. He dismissed Morgan, John Simpson and James Fuller off the third, fourth and fifth balls of the innings to seal the win.
