Trent Rockets came up short
Will Jacks scored a sensational 72
Oval Invincibles clinched their third title as they defeated Trent Rockets by 26 runs in the final of The Hundred 2025 at Lord's, London, on Sunday, August 31.
Opting to bat first, the Invincibles registered a decent 168/5 in 100 deliveries with Will Jacks leading the way with a sensational 72 off 41 balls. He was well-supported by Jordan Cox (40)
In reply, the Rockets found themselves reeling at 36/2 and that went onto 84/5 very soon as Nathan Sowter ran through their batting. Marcus Stoinis provided some fireworks in the middle with a breakthrough innings of 64 off 38 balls but lack of support down the order saw Rockets lose their grip on the final.
Sowter finished with 3/25 as Invincibles clinched yet another final by 26 runs at the iconic Lord's cricket ground
