In a thrilling final at Lord’s, the Oval Invincibles faced off against Southern Brave, with the packed stadium witnessing an intense battle for The Hundred title. After winning the toss, Southern Brave’s captain James Vince opted to field, setting the stage for a gripping contest.
Oval Invincibles’ openers, Will Jacks and Dawid Malan, started the innings with a strong partnership, reaching 44/0 within the first five sets. However, Jofra Archer brought Southern Brave back into the game by dismissing Malan, followed by Tymal Mills, who sent Jacks packing for a well-made 37 off 22 balls.

The momentum shifted as Jamie Cox and Sam Curran formed a vital 46-run partnership, pushing Oval Invincibles to 92/2 in 65 balls. Just as Oval looked to be gaining control, Akeal Hosein triggered a mini-collapse with a remarkable double strike. Hosein first removed Sam Curran on the 13th set's second ball, then bowled out Sam Billings for a golden duck on the very next delivery.
Hosein, who is well-known for his lively celebrations, stole the spotlight with his now-viral celebration, mimicking the iconic pose of Turkish Olympian Yusuf Dikec from the 2024 Paris Games, where Dikec won a silver medal without protective gear.
