Commentary

What a day for the London teams. Firstly, it was London Spirit, who won a thrilling contest to win the title, and now, the Invincibles put up a great show to defend their title successfully. It was topsy-turvy but that one spell from Saqib Mahmood turned out to be game-defining and titled the contest in favour of the Invincibles. It was an action-packed encounter and now it's time to bring down the curtains of another edition of Men's Hundred. We end the coverage here, until next time, this is the duo of Arya and Pragadeesh signing off

So it's time for Sam Billings to head over and lift the trophy. The celebration has begun. What a tournament this has been for the Oval Invincibles as they win back to back titles.

Sam Billings (Oval Invincibles captain): You don't get too many results like this. Amazing feeling. These are the kinds of days you live for. Massive credit to Tom Moody. He has given us direction over these four years and the trust has been built with the core players. Huge credit to each backroom staff and how they have done their job. Saqib didn't play the last two games but it's the environment. The top two set the platform for them. As soon as we got a couple of wickets we knew we are back. Will Jacks with the breakthrough and then Saqib Mahmood with those attacking 10 deliveries swung it our way. Yeah I suppose we are lucky to have a same group of players. As a captain you can make an impact with your decision making even if you are not scoring runs. Happy that it came out perfectly. Yeah we said at the start of the tournament that it's a squad which wins the tournament. The guys who haven't played the whole time has stepped up. TC and myself said to Saqib that this could be your day.

Saqib Mahmood is the Match Hero: It feels amazing. It spurred me during the break to charge in. Just attack and bring the stumps into play. Tried to keep it simple. Sam Curran at mid off told me to not overdo it. We have kept the core of the squad pretty same. I missed the last two years due to injury. I am happy to show the trust they have showed in me having retained me.

Sam Curran is the MVP of the tournament: I don't really know. The environment which was created was great. We have had similar group for four years. What a performance. Back to back for the boys. We are winners that's all I care about. I don't think we were at the end of it. Tom batted brilliantly again and very pleased to get the trophy.

Tom Curran - (On his sensational six off Archer's bowling) I got out next ball. It was happy with that hit but this is all about. But back-to-back is amazing. It is hard to summarize but this is a top group. We won close games and that gave us a lot of confidence. He's been pheomenal and we get on so well. To go back-to-back in such a tough competition, is an incredible feeling. We want to keep the core group of players and let's see what happens

Will Jacks: To win twice in a row it's an amazing feeling. We have worked so hard. Saqib bowled brilliantly and that changed the course of the game. That was a massive moment. Vince wicket was very important. We have had a few changes and the whole squad has done a brilliant job. First year we couldn't quite get it right. We found the template last year and managed to continue it this year. Very happy with the win.

Oval Invincibles win by 17 runs

Will Jacks 37(22) | Saqib Mahmood 3/17(20)
Alex Davies 35(23) | Tymal Mills 3/33(20)

It turned out to be a sensational comeback from the Oval Invincibles bowlers as they managed to make light work of the Southern Brave batting lineup, eventually winning the match by 17 runs to win their second Hundred competition. They also become the first team in the Hundred to win back-to-back titles.

The Southern Brave was well and truly in the game till Saqib Mahmood’s exceptional burst of 10 deliveries which had the Southern Brave lower order huffing and puffing. In the end the target of 148 proved to be way too much. The celebrations will go on late in the night and fittingly the most consistent team of the tournament has won the 4th edition of the Men’s Hundred.

The opening duo of Alex Davies and James Vince came out all guns blazing and tried to utilize the fielding restrictions in the first 25 deliveries. After a relatively quite set of opening five, it was Alex Davies who turned it on against Tom Curran, smashing him for three boundaries to get going. The partnership looked solid and required the leading wicket-taker of the competition, Adam Zampa, to make the breakthrough.

Davies was cleaned up by a straighter one but the biggest moment in the game came when Will Jacks castled the top scorer of the tournament James Vince at a crucial juncture of the game. James Coles started his innings with. Beautiful reverse sweep but it was one shot too many as Nathan Sowter accounted for him on the 53rd delivery.

Leus du Plooy looked set and struck a couple of boundaries en route to his knock of 20 before perishing at the hands of Saqib Mahmood. It was a stunning final set of ten deliveries from the speedster. He dislodged the stumps of Du Plooy before trapping Kieron Pollard with one that tailed back in.

He wasn't finished yet as Laurie Evans also departed a couple of balls later. From there on, it was always going to be a tall order for the lower order. Craig Overton smashed some lusty blows towards the end but all in a lost cause. Saqib Mahmood was the pick of the bowlers with three to his name while Adam Zampa bagged a couple.

20.0

19.5 Sam Curran to Jofra Archer, OVAL INVINCIBLES DEFEND THEIR TITLE SUCCESSFULLY!They go back-to-back! The celebration is on! Angles the length delivery across off-stump, Archer swings and misses

19.4 Sam Curran to Craig Overton, slow delivery across off, Overton is early into his shot and the ball balloons it up towards long-on for one

19.3 Sam Curran to Craig Overton, FOUR! Slower delivery angling across off, Overton drags the lofted drive wide of long-on. The fielder dives to his right but can't get a hand to it

19.2 Sam Curran to Jofra Archer, fuller delivery across off, Archer shuffles across and drills it down to long-off for a single

19.1 Sam Curran to Jofra Archer, full and angling wide of off-stump, Archer reaches for it but it goes away from the blue line. No signal from the umpire

A great slower ball from Tom Curran to end his set of five deliveries and it's a very still task for the Southern Brave. 24 more needed off 5 deliveries and the Oval Invincibles should feel they have more or less secured the win.
