Oval Invincibles won the men's edition of The Hundred for the first time as they recovered from a rocky start to beat Manchester Originals by 14 runs in Sunday's final at Lord's. SCORECARD<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Reduced to 34-5 in their innings, the Invincibles hit back thanks to dashing displays from Tom Curran and Jimmy Neesham.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Curran and New Zealand all-rounder Neesham shared an unbeaten partnership of 127, which ranks as the highest for any wicket in the history of the men's Hundred.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Curran was the catalyst with five sixes in his 67 not out from 34 balls, while Neesham added an unbeaten 57 from 33 balls as the Invincibles reached 161-5 from their 100 balls.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

After chasing 197 to beat Southern Brave in the 'eliminator' on Saturday, the Originals would have fancied their chances of overhauling the Oval total.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

But Manchester captain Jos Buttler, who had starred with a brilliant innings against the Brave, was bowled by Danny Briggs for just 11 to give the Invincibles a huge boost.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Max Holden's brisk 37 kept the Originals in the hunt as they chased 32 from the final 10 balls.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

But Curran conceded only nine from the first five and his brother Sam Curran closed out the game to leave the Originals on 147-6.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"Jimmy was unbelievable. It was a crucial partnership for us and we really fed off each other out there," Tom Curran said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Saluting his all-rounder brother, Sam Curran said: "I think at 34-5 it all comes down to Tom and Jimmy and the way they played in a pressure situation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"I am pleased for Tom, because he's had a hard season with injury and has been batting brilliantly. I am so happy. I think we are born to play and win trophies."<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In the women's final, Danni Wyatt starred as Southern Brave's 34-run win over Northern Superchargers gave captain Anya Shrubsole a memorable send-off.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Wyatt's brilliant 59 from 38 balls took her past fellow England star Tammy Beaumont as the top scorer in this year's women's event with 295 runs in total.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Freya Kemp added 31 as the Brave piled up 139-6 despite figures of 3-21 for England seamer Kate Cross.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Jemimah Rodrigues made 24 in the run chase, but Kalea Moore took 3-15 and Lauren Bell 3-21 as Superchargers were bowled out for 105.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Southern Brave, beaten in the first two Hundred finals, finally got their hands on the trophy, making it the perfect retirement party for Shrubsole.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
