Invincibles surge to third successive title
The Guardian
|September 01, 2025
We have seen this one before. For the third year in a row Oval Invincibles rocked up to Lord's, batted first and ended up with the trophy.
As the Hundred signed off on its opening chapter - next year will bring new owners, rebranding and potentially an extreme makeover of squads - this was a fitting result, the Invincibles men having been the standout side for much of it.
Will Jacks and Nathan Sowter, both of whom played in the Invincibles' first match in 2021, were the ones responsible this time, with Trent Rockets falling to a 26-run defeat. Jacks provided the hits in the first half, finishing with 72 off 41 balls as the Invincibles put up 168, and Sowter ruined the chase quickly. A 10-ball spell by the leg-spinner accounted for the Rockets' top three of Tom Banton, Joe Root and Rehan Ahmed. Marcus Stoinis briefly threatened with a solo mission, finishing with 64 off 38, but it never turned into a serious fright.
