The Oval Invincibles reaffirmed their supremacy as the 2025 Men’s Hundred. They secured the championship for the third consecutive year, rounding off a campaign marked by resilience and consistency.

At the heart of their success stood skipper Sam Billings, whose leadership has now taken him into elite company. This latest title made him the third most successful captain in T20 competitions, with five trophies to his name.

Since its launch, The Hundred has delivered a new style of franchise cricket, capturing the attention of fans across the globe. Following an action-packed season, Oval Invincibles closed their campaign on a winning note. With previous victories in 2023 and 2024, their victory over the Trent Rockets in a dramatic final secured them the Hundred 2025 trophy, keeping their legacy alive.

Billings has been a defining force throughout this era. He built an impressive track record, starting with Kent Spitfires’ Vitality Blast triumph in 2021 and later adding the ILT20 title with Dubai Capitals. His three consecutive titles in The Hundred now place him just behind MS Dhoni, with nine, and Rohit Sharma, with eight, on the list of captains with the most T20 trophies.

How the Final Unfolded

In the showdown with Trent Rockets, the Invincibles overcame an early setback when Muyeye departed cheaply. Will Jacks smashed 72, while Cox added a steady 40, setting up a commanding score of 168.

Nathan Sowter then turned the game with the ball. His three wickets including Tom Banton, Joe Root, and Rehan Ahmed, dismantled the Rockets’ chase. Supported by disciplined bowling from his teammates, the Invincibles held the Rockets to 142 runs, sealing a 26-run triumph and their third straight championship.
