Overview

  • Oval Invincibles Women posted 174/5 at Edgbaston, their score fueled by a record 54-run powerplay that ranks as the third-highest in the Hundred Women’s five-year history.
  • Meg Lanning’s 36 off 19 balls and Alice Capsey’s unbeaten 52 off 29 anchored the Invincibles’ innings, and Amanda-Jade Wellington chipped in with figures of 2-27 plus two spectacular fielding dismissals.
  • Oval Invincibles Men set 180/8, highlighted by Donovan Ferreira’s 63 off 29 balls that propelled their total.
  • Birmingham Phoenix men chased down 181 with six wickets in hand thanks to Liam Livingstone’s unbeaten 69 off 27 balls, including a 4,6,6,6,4 blitz of Rashid Khan, earning their first victory of the season.
  • Rashid Khan conceded 59 runs from 20 balls, marking the most expensive spell of his T20 career even as he struck a viral ‘helicopter’ six during Oval Invincibles’ innings.
