Cricket: Australia spinner Adam Zampa has helped Oval Invincibles become back-to-back champions of the men's Hundred competition.
Australian spinner Adam Zampa starred as The Oval Invincibles defended their title in the Men’s Hundred, defeating the Southern Brave by 17 runs at Lord’s on Sunday.
Australian wicketkeeper Georgia Redmayne top-scored during the run chase with 34 from 32 balls, while South African quick Shabnim Ismail snared three wickets in a losing cause. The Victorian provided a couple of handy spells with the ball, at one stage knocking over player of the tournament Sam Curran, but it was otherwise an uneventful campaign.Johnson couldn’t replicate his heroics from last season, going wicketless in four consecutive matches with the Oval Invincibles before sustaining a side strain that prematurely ended his tournament.
However, the Phoenix suffered an agonising Super Over loss to the Southern Brave during last week’s Eliminator at The Oval, with Abbott conceding 32 runs in the must-win contest. Zampa finished this year’s Hundred as the equal-leading wicket-taker, steering the Oval Invincibles towards its second straight title.
The Victorian became just the third player in Women’s Hundred history to take at least ten wickets and score 200 runs, joining modern greats Haley Matthews and Marizanne Kapp. The Queenslander helped the London Spirit win their maiden title, named player of the final after scoring a patient 34 off 32 balls against the Welsh Fire at Lord’s on Sunday.
Gardner was a constant threat with bat and ball this season, finding a way to contribute in almost every appearance with the Trent Rockets.
