Oval Invincibles defeated Southern Brave in the final of the Hundred 2024 to lift their second consecutive title in the competition. The Sam Billings' Invincibles successfully defended their title as they outclassed the James Vince-led Brave to win the final by 17 runs.
Saqib Mahmood's spell of reverse swing helped the Invincibles defend 147 at the Lord's. From being in a commanding position of the run-chase with 53 were needed from 30 balls, Brave slipped when Mahmood took three wickets in his seven balls to fall short of the target.
In the women's competition, London Spirit defeated the Welsh Fire after chasing down 116 to lift their maiden title. Deepti Sharma's six off the third last ball took the London side over the line.
Sam Billings has become the first captain to lift the Hundred title twice across the men's and women's competitions. He was in charge of the Invincibles in their title run last year too.
Invincibles have won the Hundred title every year, either in men's or women's competitions. They had won back-to-back titles in 2021 and 2022 in the women's circuit before matching this achievement in the men's circuit in 2023 and 2024.
