That's it from this match and time for us to wrap things up. We will be back tomorrow with more action from the Hundred. Till then, this is Ayan Chatterjee signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Deepak Prakash alongside scorer/analyst Paras Yadav. Stay safe, happy, and cool. Goodnight and CHEERS!
Sunil Narine (Hero of the Match): "Yeah, I think if you try to overexcite it too much, you get nervous. So I think we're just basically trying to see the ball and make contact and not try to miss too many. (Speaking about pitch) Yeah, I think it was coming on. I think we had a good start with the batters, and the bowlers, I think did a good job keeping them in the middle and picking up wickets. So I think that's where the key of the game was. I think where we picked up wickets in the middle and contained them.
I think with wickets in hand, you could chase on any total and I think the guys did a great job. A little too close to comfort, but I think that's the way cricket goes. I think there are exciting games and there are boring games. Thankfully, this one was an exciting one and we came out on top.
Yeah, I think once you bowl in the middle overs and you pick up wickets, it makes it a bit easier for the next guy coming. So I think his (Nathan Sowter) wickets in that over, I think he got two, I think was very good and it put us on the driver's seat and I think we just continue applying the pressure and it helped us in the end.
Yeah, I think if you start early doors and start winning, I think it helps you going forward. So the belief is there, we have one a day now, so I think it's just to continue to get momentum."

2:13 AM IST, 9:43 PM Local Time: A great game of cricket here at the Home of Cricket and Oval Invincibles who have held their nerves to win this game by 3 wickets with a ball to spare. South London triumphs over North London and they have Sunil Narine to thank for.
Chasing a target of 132 to win off 100 balls, Oval Invincibles lost Jason Roy early. Will Jacks got into double figures. Jordan Cox got a good 22 off 21 balls. Sam Curran scored 34 off 28 balls while skipper Sam Billings scored 25 off 15 balls. But it was Sunil Narine who held his nerve with his 13* off 5 balls that helped the Invincibles get over the line by 3 wickets with a ball to spare.
It was a good bowling effort from London Spirit. Worrall picked up a couple of wickets for 23 runs in 20 balls. Jordan Thompson picked up a couple of wickets for 23 runs in 20 balls. A couple of wickets for Nathan Ellis as well as he couldn't quite defend the runs in the final over while Critchley got himself a wicket to his name.
Earlier in the game, London Spirit were inserted into bat first by Oval Invincibles. Daniel Lawrence the skipper at the top of the order scored 24 off 17 balls. Adam Rossington looked good for his 39 off 21 balls. Matthew Wade looked good for his 37 off 27 balls. But the rest of the batting fell away as they were eventually bowled out for 131 in 100 balls in the end.
A good disciplined bowling performance from Oval Invincibles bowlers. Nathan Sowter was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 3/34 in 20 balls. He was ably supported by Sunil Narine who was miserly in his spell of 2/14 in 20 balls. A wicket apiece for Sam Curran, Guy Atkinson, and Tom Curran. A disciplined bowling performance that set up this win for the Oval Invincibles as the batters held their nerves as well.
So, Oval Invincibles won by 3 wickets with one ball to spare. Stick around for the presentations.
