Curran's Hat-Trick Heroics Lead Invincibles to Victory Over Spirit.

Sam Curran shone with both bat and ball as Oval Invincibles cruised to a 30-run victory over London Spirit in The Hundred men's competition at Lord's.

England all-rounder Sam Curran excelled with both bat and ball as Oval Invincibles defeated London Spirit by 30 runs in The Hundred.

Curran struck an unbeaten 51 off 22 balls to help the Invincibles reach 147-5, then took 5-16, including a hat-trick, to dismantle the Spirit's batting lineup.

The Invincibles had a slow start, scoring just four runs in their first 14 balls and losing Will Jacks to Olly Stone. However, Dawid Malan contributed 38 runs, and Curran’s explosive sixes provided a strong finish.

In response, the Spirit struggled to keep pace, hindered by the Invincibles' effective slow bowlers, with Adam Zampa also claiming 3-22.
