The Oval Invincibles are having a dream tournament in The Hundred Mens Competition 2024, taking the top position in the table with back-to-back wins. Thanks to Sam Curran's consistent efforts, they have won five out of six games, going comfortably towards the qualification. In the Invincibles' game against the Southern Brave, pacer Spencer Johnson ran towards his left from a short fine leg to dismiss Laurie Evans, who had just scored a boundary in the previous ball. 

The video instantly went viral for the mind-blowing catch taken by Johnson, who ran like a beast to get the catch. It was a spectacular and difficult one, and the wicket was his reward. 

While chasing a target of 119 runs, the Invincibles won the game quite comfortably by six wickets. It was a good watch for the audience as Sam Curran showed his all-round skills and pulled off a brilliant victory over the Brave. For his efforts, he received the Player of the Match award.

At the top, you got to take those risks: Sam Curran

Sam Curran has been a hero for the Oval Invincibles as he got the POTM for the third time in a row. He's been giving it all in terms of batting, bowling, and fielding. After winning the game, he praised his teammates and also expressed his happiness for having the same guys around for four years which has eased the team's environment. 

"At the top, you got to take those risks, Jacky showed that intent with the first ball and then Coxy played really well to anchor the innings. Really happy with the win. Really enjoying the environment, we've had the same group for four years, enjoying the roles that I am playing," said Sam Curran at the post-match presentation.
