Sam Billings walks up to the stage and lifts the trophy along with his teammates. The celebrations begin. The Oval Invincibles have gone back-to-back.
Sam Billings (Oval Invincibles Captain): "Yeah, absolutely. At the end of your career, you don't have many days like these. Amazing feeling. These are the days you kind of live for.
Massive credit to Tom moody. He is a genius. For the four years process, he has been brilliant. That trust has been built in the group. You can see from Saqib Mahmood's performance tonight. On a big day as today, he performed brilliantly.
Two quality players at the top of the order set the tone really well for them. But we knew we will be back in the game with wickets. It's a hard format to get going at the top of the order. Jacks cleaned up Vince who has been magnificent in this tournament. Saqib dismissed Pollard and that was the turning point in the game.
We are lucky to have a good leadership group. It was not my day with the bat clearly but it's about making the right decisions on the field. Assessing the conditions and backing your players.
We said at the start of the tournament that this is the squad that will win the tournament. It's not about the only 11 players to win. Tom Lammonby is a great example. He played the role of a team man throughout the tournament. TC also is brilliant for the team. They are the kind of performers you want to see."

Saqib Mahmood (Hero of the match): "Amazing, I think. I am glad I got Polly first ball (of the second consecutive set). Just attack really, bring stumps into the play (on bowling plans). Mid on literally kept telling me to keep it simple and don't do too much.
We have kept the core of the squad. I have missed the last few seasons due to injuries. But I have stayed with the team. Nice to repay the faith the team has shown in me."

Sam Curran (MVP of the tournament): "I don't really know. The hard workout for the last four years has really worked out. We have a same group. Same support staff. Same faces. Really happy with our performance.
We are back-to-back winners.
Really glad for Tom. He came out and pleased to see him perform for us. Really pleased for everyone."

Tom Curran: "I got out next ball. But I was happy with that six off Archer. But as Sam said, it's back-to-back. What a win.
It's hard to summarize. We have got such a special group. We have stuck from the beginning. We have won close games and what a day.
Billings has been phenomenal. He has stuck to the same group and he knows us so well. It's easy to say that when you have won but to go back-to-back is amazing."

Will Jacks: "Amazing. It was great last year but it's big this year to defend the title and go back-to-back.
Saqib bowled brilliantly in that spell and that changed the game.
I knew Vince was gonna come out hard at me. I tried to bowl a few change-ups and it worked for us.
It's been the same team for the last four years. We got it right last year and stuck with it."

0 Oval Invincibles defend their title successfully. Celebrations begin as the Invincibles have gone back-to-back. They become the first team in the Men's Hundred to defend their title. Sam Curran ends the match with an off-cutter outside off, Archer goes deep in his crease and has a wild swing at it but misses it completely. Straight through to Billings who collects it cleanly and starts celebrating.
99b S Curran to C Overton
1 An off-cutter well outside off, 74 mph, Overton slogs it right off the toe end of the bat in front of long on for only a single.
98b S Curran to C Overton
4 FOUR!!! Curran with a slower delivery outside off, 73 mph, Overton drags it into the leg side. Ferreira from long on runs hard to his right and dives but fails to get any hand to it and it goes to the fence on a bounce.
97b S Curran to J Archer
1 Full from Curran outside off, 82 mph, Archer fails to get underneath this one as he drills it along the ground to long off for a single.
