In Cardiff, Northern Superchargers and Welsh Fire were left high and dry with a no-result, thanks to the unpredictable elements. Meanwhile, in the 22nd match of The Hundred, Oval Invincibles breezed past Southern Brave, claiming a 6-wicket win with 15 balls to spare, shaking up the tournament standings and adding fresh intrigue to the competition.
Points Table of The Hundred 2024
The Oval Invincibles have solidified their place at the summit of the table with 10 points from 6 matches, having won 5 and lost only 1. Their net run rate (NRR) of +0.778 is the highest among all teams, reflecting their dominant performances throughout the season. Their recent win against the Southern Brave further emphasizes their formidable form, and with their remaining fixtures against the London Spirit and Trent Rockets, they will be looking to maintain their winning streak.
Currently holding the second spot, the Southern Brave have accrued 8 points from 6 matches, with 4 wins and 2 losses. Their NRR of +0.679 also highlights their competitive edge. Despite their recent defeat to the Oval Invincibles, the Brave have shown resilience throughout the season, though their inconsistent form could impact their chances as they face crucial games against the Trent Rockets and Welsh Fire.
The Northern Superchargers have moved up to the third position with 7 points from 6 matches, having secured 3 wins, 2 losses, and 1 no result. Their NRR of -0.917 is a concern, but their recent performances suggest they are improving. They will be eager to convert their momentum into victories as they face the Manchester Originals and London Spirit.
With 6 points from 5 matches, the Trent Rockets hold the fourth spot, having won 3 matches and lost 2. Their NRR of +0.600 is a positive sign, suggesting they are performing well in both aspects of the game. The Rockets are set to play against the Southern Brave, Birmingham Phoenix, and Oval Invincibles in their remaining fixtures.
The Birmingham Phoenix are tied with the Trent Rockets at 6 points, but their lower NRR of +0.193 places them in fifth position. They have won 3 matches and lost 2, with their form reflecting a mixed bag of results. Their recent wins have been encouraging, but they need to continue their strong performances against the Welsh Fire and Manchester Originals.
Welsh Fire currently occupy the sixth spot with 5 points from 6 matches, including 2 wins, 3 losses, and 1 no result. Their NRR of -0.159 indicates they are struggling to make a significant impact. Their upcoming matches against the Birmingham Phoenix and Southern Brave will be crucial in determining their ability to climb the rankings.
The London Spirit have had a disappointing season so far, sitting at the bottom of the table with just 2 points from 5 matches. They have managed only 1 win while suffering 4 losses. Their NRR of -0.550 reflects their struggles across the board. They will need to pull off some significant upsets to salvage their season.
The Manchester Originals are currently at the bottom of the table without a win to their name, having lost all 5 of their matches. Their NRR of -1.216 is the lowest among all teams, reflecting their difficulties throughout the season. With remaining matches there is no chance for them to qualify for the top four.
