Overview

• Oval Invincibles Women recorded 5-174, the third-highest Women’s Hundred total, fuelled by a competition-record powerplay of 54 runs in 25 balls.
• Meg Lanning’s 36 off 19 in that powerplay opening stand and Alice Capsey’s 52 off 29 provided a dominant platform for the Invincibles’ victory.
• In the Phoenix reply, Amanda-Jade Wellington’s juggling catch and underarm back-flick run-out stymied the chase and restricted Birmingham to 6-152.
• Oval Invincibles Men posted 180 for eight at Edgbaston thanks to Donovan Ferreira’s rapid 63 off 29.
• Liam Livingstone’s unbeaten 69 powered Birmingham Phoenix’s 181-run chase, secured with two balls to spare alongside Saqib Mahmood’s twin strikes and Rashid Khan’s 0-59 figures.
