Oval Invincibles Men’s Hundred Three-Peat: Jacks and Sowter Shine
The Oval Invincibles Men’s Hundred three-peat became reality as the champions secured a commanding 26-run win over Trent Rockets at Lord’s. With Will Jacks anchoring the innings and Nathan Sowter spinning magic, the Invincibles extended their dominance as the most successful team in the tournament’s short history.
Invincibles Build Strong Foundation
Momentum was created early when Jacks powered a 72 off 41 balls in the Men’s Hundred final. His stroke play, combined with Jordan Cox’s fluent 40, added 87 runs that formed the backbone of the Invincibles’ 168 for 5. Although runs slowed in the final overs, the platform ensured a competitive total on a big stage. Importantly, Jacks became the first Invincibles player to cross 1,000 career runs in the competition.

Sowter Spins Rockets Out
In reply, the Rockets started brightly but faltered once Sowter entered the attack. The leg-spinner turned the Men’s Hundred final in his team’s favor with three wickets in just seven deliveries. Root, Rehan Ahmed, and Banton all fell in quick succession, and Sowter’s energy shifted the contest firmly toward the Invincibles. Additionally, his sharp catch in the deep highlighted his all-round contribution.
Stoinis Fights, Rockets Struggle
Marcus Stoinis tried to rescue Trent Rockets with an explosive 64 off 38 balls. However, the chase always remained out of reach due to early setbacks. Injuries to key players further weakened the Rockets, forcing late changes that unsettled their balance. Despite spirited efforts from debutant Dillon Pennington and George Linde, the side never recovered momentum.
Three Straight Titles for Invincibles
With this triumph, the Oval Invincibles Men’s Hundred three-peat placed them among a rare group of short-format dynasties. Across three seasons, they have produced 21 wins, one tie, and just five defeats, underlining their remarkable consistency. Although changes loom with a squad reset expected next season, the Invincibles have already cemented their place as the standard-bearers of the men’s competition.
