A packed Lord’s witnessed the title clash between Oval Invincibles and Southern Brave as James Vince won the toss and elected to field. Oval openers Will Jacks and Dawid Malan started strong, racing to 44/0 in five sets. Jofra Archer then gave the Brave a breakthrough by dismissing Malan, followed by Tymal Mills removing Jacks for 37 off 22. However, Jamie Cox and Sam Curran steadied the ship, building a crucial 46-run partnership, taking Oval to 92/2 in 65 balls. But Oval witnessed a mini batting collapse when Akeal Hosein struck twice in quick succession, celebrating each wicket with a unique gesture.
On the 67th ball, Hosein delivered a length ball around off stump to Curran, who attempted a cross-shot but only managed a top edge that soared high. Archer easi🙈ly caught the ball as Curran wal🏅ked off. On the next delivery, Hosein bowled a quick, straight ball on off stump. The Oval skipper tried to whip it across but missed entirely, and the ball crashed into the stumps. Hosein, visibly pumped, celebrated by pointing to the dugout and making a shooting gesture with his hand, a moment that resonated with fans on social media.

Again
Ake♔al Hosein has picked up back to back wickets, the spinner has just turned the game, amazing thing is his control and variation of the pace, doesn’t bowl the lose deliveries and that’s why the Caribbean off spinner is rarely hit for the boundaries. What a talent this man is!

Not far enoogh
S Curran goes big against Akeal Ho꧋sein but sends it too high 🌄and not far enough, and Archer takes the catch. Invincibles 93-3 (67), S Curran 25 (20). Akeal Hosein then bowls Sam Billings first ball and it is 93-4 (68).
