Match Result: Northern Superchargers Beat Oval Invincibles by 16 Points
Northern Superchargers 198-4 in 100 innings: Harry Brooke (56 off 27), Zak Crawley (49 off 25), David Miller (37 off 16); Will Jacks (1-25 off 15)
Oval Invincibles 182-7 in 100 overs: Donovan Ferreira (41 off 15), Sam Curran (30 off 19); Tom Lawes (2-22 off 20), Jacob Duffy (2-39 off 20)
London Spirit's win over Southern Brave at Lord's on Sunday evening ensured the Superchargers and Invincibles would reach the play-offs, while the Trent Rockets would secure the final berth with a win over Welsh Fire on Sunday.
In the team standings, the Superchargers' second-highest scoring effort of the 2025 season was also led by Zak Crawley (49 off 25), South African David Miller (37 off 16) and Dawid Malan (34 off 31), with Miller matching Brooke's tally of sixes.
Brook's team is second in the men's 100 rankings, trailing the leader only by point difference.
Key Invincibles players including Jordan Cox (24 for 16) were modest in their performances, and Donovan Ferreira's quick 41 in 15 innings only briefly offered hope before their second loss of the season.
Spirit keep chances alive thanks to Williamson against Brave
In the second men's game, the Spirit cruised to a comfortable 47-run win over the Braves, 186-4 to 139 in 92 deliveries. Kane Williamson topped the score with 53 in 28 deliveries, reaching the 150-run mark for the first time in a match.
Kane Williamson boosted the Spirit's playoff hopes with a scoring performance.
Jamie Smith (44 off 18) and David Warner (25 off 20) bolstered the side, while Jofra Archer (42 off 20) was the quickest to remove Williamson's threat at long-on.
