The Hundred Women 2025: Oval Invincibles’ struggles lead to modest total
The Invincibles could not capitalize on a solid start and faltered to a total of 109/7. The opening partnership fell early, with Lauren Winfield-Hill and Alice Capsey contributing just 7 and 15 runs, respectively. Meg Lanning‘s determined 45 off 35 balls looked like it might form the basis for a bigger total, but with wickets falling regularly around her, the Invincibles struggled to accelerate.
The middle order, including Marizanne Kapp (7), Amanda-Jade Wellington (7) and Phoebe Franklin (4), failed to build substantial partnerships, leaving the team at a significant disadvantage. Despite a brief partnership between Paige Scholfield and Kalea Moore towards the end, the Invincibles finished their 100 balls with just 109 runs on the board. The Rockets’ bowlers, particularly Kirstie Gordon (2/21) and Heather Graham (1/27), kept the pressure on, with their disciplined spells restricting the Invincibles from reaching a competitive total.
