Sam Curran Shines in Invincibles Victory

Sam Curran delivered an exceptional all-round performance for the Oval Invincibles, scoring an unbeaten 51 runs off 22 balls and taking a five-wicket haul, including a hat-trick, as they defeated London Spirit by 30 runs in The Hundred. Curran's explosive batting helped the Invincibles set a challenging total of 147, after a slow start, while his bowling dismantled the Spirit's batting lineup, finishing with figures of 5-16. This hat-trick marks only the third in the competition's history, joining the ranks of Imran Tahir and Tymal Mills. The victory sees the Invincibles return to the top of the table, level with Southern Brave, while the Spirit struggles at the bottom, having secured just one win from four matches. Curran's performance not only solidifies his status as a key player but also positions him as the second-highest wicket-taker in the tournament with nine wickets so far.
