However, Matthew Wade’s efforts could not halt Oval Invincibles from winning the match. In the last set (last 5 deliveries), Oval Invincibles needed 15 runs to win, Sunil Narine shattered a six and four to steal victory for his team by 3 wickets.

Matthew Wade’s efforts in the match were highly appreciable. The left-handed batter also slammed 37 runs off 27 balls in the 1st innings with 4 boundaries. Earlier, openers Daniel Lawrence (24) and Adam Rossington (39) slammed decent knocks to provide a good start to London Spirits.

However, other than Wade, the rest of the batters in the middle and lower order got out for single digits. Losing key batters like Michael Pepper (4), Daryl Mitchell (5), and Ravi Bopara (5) for single digits, London Spirit could only pile up 131-10 batting first.
