Adam Zampa, Match Hero: They put us under the pump in the powerplay early but, yeah again, good purchase in the surface, boys dragged back pretty well through the middle. We've been playing really good cricket throughout. Today we knew how important was to get the win, obviously finishing first and hopefully going straight to Lords, with potentially making it tough to overtake us, but really important next game to make it a certainty...beautiful day in London, good crowd, boys really enjoyed.
That was absolutely emphatic from the table-toppers; an utterly dominant win before the playoffs. It was an excellent bowling performance followed by a brilliant chase. They're the team to beat and seem to have all bases covered. Invincibles have confirmed a top-three finish and are looking favorites to secure the automatic final berth. That's it from the first game of the Men's Hundred. Join us for the coverage of the upcoming second game. For Thilak Rama, I'm Rvel Zahid. Goodnight

Saifi: "Except for India's IPL and Pakistan's PSL, all other leagues are still going according to early 2000s fashioned batting. Well being a Test cricket fan, I'm all up for this sort of cricket where you come across real batting talent, or else even Narine smashes bowlers"
