At the summit of the standings, the Oval Invincibles reign supreme with three victories out of five encounters, amassing a notable tally of seven points. Their dominance, however, suffered a setback in the latest bout, a clash with the Birmingham Phoenix on Birmingham’s grounds.
Zak Chappel proved instrumental in limiting the Phoenix side, snatching four crucial wickets, restricting them to a total of 160/8.
