We have some interviews coming our way...
Manchester Originals started really well with the ball as the new ball bowlers wreaked havoc early claiming three wickets inside the Powerplay. The scoreboard read 34 for the loss of 5 wickets when Tom Curran joined James Neesham out in the middle. The two of them added 127 unbeaten runs in 65 deliveries for the sixth wicket to help their side to a fighting total of 161 runs. Tom Curran scored 67 runs in 34 balls and was the one who began the counterattack while Neesham grew into the game as he remained unbeaten on 57 off 33 deliveries. Richard Gleeson took two wickets early in the game but his last two sets went for plenty. Joshua Little, Paul Walter, and Tom Hartley chipped in with one each but they will be disappointed that they could not close the game out after taking an early advantage. They left the batters with an uphill task to climb and batting order failed to make a game out of it as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals.
Oval Invincibles had their tails up when they walked out to the middle to defend a total that Tom Curran and James Neesham had so graciously helped them achieve. They would have been a bit worried with the way the Manchester Originals openers started but it was Tom Curran who continued his remarkable game by claiming first blood. The spinners took over thereafter as Danny Briggs, Nathan Sowter, and Will Jacks picked up a wicket each in quick succession. There was a bit of a recovery from the batters but Will Jacks returned to the attack to claim his second wicket and the opponents lost half their side. Gus Atkinson took quite a pounding as he conceded 47 runs in his 20 balls and was the only bowler who had an off day. Sam Curran claimed the crucial wicket of Max Holden which more or less confirmed that the game would go in their favour. The bowlers did their job in the death overs and helped their side get over the finish line with ease.
It was a positive start for Manchester Originals in the run chase as they put on a 34-opening partnership in just 22 balls. Philip Salt was the aggressor as he scored 25 runs in 16 deliveries but perished playing one shot too many. Things took a disastrous turn as Jos Buttler who seemed to be struggling out in the middle departed followed by Wayne Madsen not too long after. Laurie Evans looked to be positive straight up but holed out in the deep with Nathan Sowter taking a remarkable catch. Max Holden tried to hold up one end but lost Paul Walter after a small partnership and they looked to be staring down a barrel of defeat. Jamie Overton provided support to Holden as he looked to fight a lone battle and take the game deep but was finally dismissed on 37 of 25 deliveries. Jamie Overton and Tom Hartley provided some fireworks towards the end and gave their fans a bit of hope but they always seemed to be well behind in the game.
OVAL INVINCIBLES ARE CHAMPIONS OF THE THIRD EDITION OF THE MEN’S HUNDRED COMPETITION! They looked done and dusted in the first half an hour of this game but have come back strong to register a comfortable 14-run victory and clinch their maiden title. Their women’s side had won the first two editions of their competition but fell short this year. However, there will be a Hundred trophy going to Oval this year as well. Manchester Originals have stumbled at the final frontier once again and despite making two consecutive final appearances, they are still to lift the trophy!

Back of a length and outside off, Jamie Overton tries to cut it but gets a top edge in front of deep point as the batters turn around for the second, the fielder throws it at the keeper's end where Sam Billings fails to collect as Overton puts in a big dive in. He has damaged his pads with that dive and will need a new one now. A slight halt! Jamie Overton need 3 sixes to tie!
