Winning one title isn’t an easy job in the T20 leagues around the world, but to do it thrice and in consecutive years is exceptional. On August 31, Oval Invincible earned their third consecutive Men’s Hundred title when they faced Trent Rockets, the winners of the 2022 edition.

Let’s take a look at the teams that have won three or more successive tournaments in men’s T20s before.

1. Victoria (2005/06, 2006/07, 2007/08) 

Victoria earned the title in the very first season of the Australian T20 event in 2005/06 when they got the better of New South Wales, with Brad Hodge celebrating the first century of the competition. In the next edition, they won all the games to top the table and defended 160 in the final against Tasmania, with Mick Lewis picking four wickets.

In 2007/08, Victoria recorded their first-ever defeat to WA in the group stage of the competition before bouncing back with three back-to-back wins, before beating the same side in the final to complete the hat-trick of wins, becoming the first team to do so in the T20s.

2. Sialkot Stallions (2006, 2006-07, 2008-09, 2009, 2009-10)

The Sialkot side made a poor stand in the first season of the Pakistan National T20 Cup, winning the final against Faisalabad Wolves to claim the maiden title. In the next season, they extended the dominance to beat the Karachi Dolphins before stretching their winning streak to 16 games, with a seven-wicket win in the final to complete a hat-trick of titles.

Their success, during the 2009 season, against the Lahore Lions, meant they had won 20 successive games. In 2009-10, they added their fifth title with a one-sided final win over the Wolves, extending the streak to 24 matches, a record that still stands firm.

3. Wayamba (2008, 2009, 2010)

Under the captaincy of Jehan Mubarak, they won their three successive T20 titles in the Sri Lankan domestic Cup from 2008 to 2010. In the first season of these, they turned the tables with a 31-run win in the final before defending the title by beating Banshari South by five wickets.

In 2010, they went through another unbeaten campaign in the league standings and ended as the title winners against Ruhuna, by a massive 95 runs to complete a hat-trick of titles.  

4. Trinidad and Tobago (2011, 2012, and 2013) 

The most successful team of the Caribbean T20 Cup, Trinidad and Tobago, won the last three seasons under the leadership of Dinesh Ramdin. In 2011, they went through an undefeated campaign against Hampshire before retaining the trophy in the very next season of the tournament against the Windward Islands.

In the final edition in 2013, they played a round-robin format and finished as the unbeaten side in the league. They topped the league and qualified directly for the final, where they got the better of Guyana by nine wickets to claim a hat-trick of titles.

5. Titans (2015, 2016, 2017)

The Titans dominated the domestic T20 circuit of the South African side with three successive titles under the captaincy of Albie Morkel. They topped the chart in each of the three seasons. In 2015, they beat the Dolphins to win their fourth title of the T20s, having won in 2005, 2008, and 2012.

In 2016, they got the media by edging past the Warriors by just six runs. In 2017, they again locked horns with the Dolphins in the summit clash and completed the hat-trick with another dominating victory by seven wickets.

6. Jaffna Kings (2020, 2021, 2022)

In the Lanka Premier League (LPL) history, the Jaffna Kings have become the first and only side to win three seasons of the event, under Thisara Perera. In the first season, they got the better of Dambulla Kings in the semis and outplayed Galle Gladiators in the final.

In 2021, they got renamed as Jaffna Kings and once again beat the Galle side in the final for successive titles. The 2022 season saw them finish second and beat the Colombo Stars by two wickets in a thrilling final.

7. Oval Invincibles (2023, 2024, 2025) 

In the 2023 season of The Hundred, Oval Invincibles finished at the top of the points table and beat the Manchester Originals by 14 runs to win their first title in 2023 under the captaincy of Sam Billings. They repeated the same performance in the following season with six wins in eight games, and then got the better of Southern Brave in the final.

In the recent 2025 season, Invincibles repeated the same performance to top the chart and smacked the David Willey-led Trent Rockets in the final to win their third successive title in the T20 league history.

Comilla Victorians also won the three back-to-back BPL titles in 2019, 2022, and 2023, but they didn’t feature in the 2019-20 season.

During the final of The Hundred 2025, Oval Invincibles met Trent Rockets at Lord’s in London. The captain of the Oval side, Sam Billings, won the toss and decided to bat first under pressure, as they looked to post a huge score on the board. Thanks to Will Jacks’ fine knock of 72 runs in 41 balls, they were able to post 168/5 in their allotted 100 balls.

Jordan Cox also contributed with 40 runs in 28deliveries at a strike rate of over 140, scoring four boundaries and one six. In reply, the Rockets were not in the chase from the beginning of the chase. Apart from Marcus Stoinis’ knock of 64 runs in 38 balls, thanks to four boundaries and five sixes at a strike rate of 168.42, no one was able to put up a huge score.

Most wickets- Josh Tongue (Manchester Originals)- 14 wickets

Player of the Tournament:

Jordan Cox- “Just having a bit of fun. Our team's so strong, it's about having fun with your mates. Donovan Ferrira's only faced about 40 balls. Shows how deep we bat. Class lineup, and very fortunate.”

Player of the Match:

Nathan Sowter- “Obviously, to play in this team is incredible. Gave me so many opportunities to do well. Tonight was my night. Very happy. The last few games have given the reins to lead the spin attack.”

Sowter picked up three wickets in his set of 20 balls, conceding 25 runs with seven dot balls. Those three wickets include the two opponent openers, Tom Banton and Joe Root, along with the number three batter, Rehan Ahmed.

In a tense Hundred 2025 Final at Lord's, Trent Rockets Men fell short by 26 runs against Oval Invincibles Men. Chasing a target of 169, the Rockets were restricted to a total of 142/8 and never seemed to catch up after succumbing to early losses. Will Jacks' destructive batting performance in the first innings gave Invincibles a head start, which was carried over to their bowling performance; Nathan Sowter taking 2 early and crucial wickets made for a difficult chase. Combined with injuries and disrupted preparation, the Rockets could not match the sharpness of a settled Invincibles unit. Below are the main reasons for the Trent Rockets Men defeat:

1. Will Jacks’ explosive innings

Will Jacks’ 72 off 41 balls set the tone for Invincibles, giving them the perfect foundation. His aggressive strokeplay left the Rockets struggling to control runs. This early onslaught ensured a formidable total of 168/5.

2. Nathan Sowter’s devastating opening burst

Sowter dismissed Tom Banton, Joe Root, and Rehan Ahmed in quick succession. His spell of 3/25 left the Rockets’ top order in tatters. These blows meant the Rockets had no platform to launch their chase.

3. Missed momentum and disruptions ahead of the final

The Rockets had some disrupted preparation after a rain-affected eliminator only 20 hours before. Lockie Ferguson pulled out due to an injury, and Dillon Pennington came in at the last minute, which meant the bowling balance was weakened. The Invincibles looked settled and strong; Adam Zampa delivered a controlled 1/21.

Due to the no-result 24 hours ago during the eliminator at the Kennington Oval in South London, Trent Rockets qualified for the final to face the top-ranked Oval Invincibles, who ended at the opening position in the points table. Both teams locked horns with each other for the final of The Hundred 2025 at Lord’s in London.

Oval’s captain, Sam Billings, won the toss and decided to bat first under pressure of the final. They made the solitary change as Adam Zampa, who flew from Australia for the one-off encounter, came into the eleven in place of Miles Hammond. Rockets brought back Dillon Pennington and Ben Sanderson for the all-important final.

Oval Invincibles post huge score of 168/5 in first innings

After T Muyeye’s cheap dismissal, Will Jacks and Jordan Cox posted a huge partnership of 87 runs for the second wicket, with the former celebrating 72 runs in 41 deliveries with the help of seven boundaries and a couple of sixes at a strike rate of 175.61. Cox drilled 40 runs in 28 balls at a strike rate of 142.86.

Their middle order couldn’t contribute much with the bat as they kept losing regular wickets one after another, being reduced to 168/5 in their allotted 100 deliveries during the first innings.

Rockets had the worst start in the event, with them losing Rehan Ahmed and Joe Rppt in three deliveries. Tom Banton also went back to the pavilion after a couple of balls before the captain, David Willey, went back to the dressing room for 14 runs in eight balls.

Marcus Stoinis kept fighting for more contributions with the bat. He celebrated his fifty and got out on the last ball of the innings for 64 runs in 37 balls with the help of four boundaries and five sixes at a strike rate of 168.42, but they fell short by just 26 runs as they the Invincibles record their third consecutive title of The Hundred history.

Match Scorecard Summary

The Oval Invincibles are showing once again why they are the most formidable side in The Hundred, and Thursday night’s performance against the Trent Rockets only reinforced that claim. Chasing 172 at The Oval, they chased the target down within just 89 balls, leaving their competitors dazed and all but wrapped up a knockout spot. With only one more win needed from two group games, the Invincibles are sailing to a direct place in the final at Lord’s next Sunday – and a chance at a third title in succession.

Two amazing innings defined the game. Sam Curran smashed a phenomenal 52 off 24 balls, including six sixes from just eight balls, while Jordan Cox settled the chase with a stylish but destructive knock of 58 not out off 32. At one point, the Invincibles needed 102 from 40 balls but only needed 29 to chase down their target. Curran, also slow to start with just 7 from 12 balls, went into overdrive and, after his innings, declared he had “six or out”. After a quiet beginning of the innings, his excellence lit up The Oval with cavalier hitting.

Consistency and smart planning keep Oval Invincibles winning

Even after Curran went, Cox took no time wasting. For a short while, Cox was paired with Donovan Ferreira, who cleared the ropes twice in as many balls, until Cox brought the game to a close by hitting back-to-back boundaries, which saw the home support all roar, once again. That was a huge statement win. It even had Joe Root, who scored 76 off 41 for the Rockets, admit that the Invincibles “were the better team,”. So how do the Invincibles keep on winning? It comes down to continuity and planning. For many franchises, they had a core group of players from the inception of the competition. Will Jacks, Sam and Tom Curran, Sam Billings, and Cox have provided continuity, while clever overseas signings such as Rashid Khan and Jason Behrendorff have slotted in without hesitation. 

Their record does the talking: in three seasons they have 19 wins exit and of course, only 4 losses. In a league that has been designed for parity, this is a truly astonishing feat for the Invincibles, who manage to constantly be ahead in any criteria other than talent. That is to say, figuring out roles within the style of play, clarifying roles, and trusting the vision that has been developed. But the Invincibles are also clear about not getting carried away with the “three-peat” talk. Curran has said they are taking it “one game at a time” and understands how dangerous complacency can be. But the start of the question still remains across The Hundred

The Mumbai Indians, who are the joint-most successful franchise with five trophies in the Indian Premier League (IPL), have added another team to the cabin. They already have one in the WPL, SA20 named MI Cape Town, MLC named MI New York, and ILT20 named MI Emirates. Now, in The Hundred, they have got the MI London. The Hundred’s most successful side, Oval Invincibles, is going to rebrand as the MI London side, the first choice of their Indian co-owners.

The change is anticipated to take place in 2026 and will bring the side in line with the rest of the Ambai family’s Mumbai Indians stable. The Hundred tournament will undergo a major change from the next season with a new ownership model and host venues running teams alongside the new investors, who have brought at least 49% of each team.

Surrey is closing a partnership with the richest family in Asia, the Ambani family, who brought the Oval side in an auction valued at 123 million pounds. The success of the franchise will now be expanded even through the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB).

Mumbai Indians earn Oval Invincibles for The Hundred and rename from 2026

Oval has been in incredible touch during the ongoing season of the 100-ball league. They are currently at the top of the points table with five victories in six encounters at a net run rate of +2.158. They are currently on a three-match winning streak, including the six-wicket victory at the home ground, the Kennington Oval in South London, against the Trent Rockets.

“From a brand perspective, I hope we can brand it as a Surrey-branded team and part of our cricket ecosystem.” The chairman said in 2023. The Surrey-Reliance deal is one of the eight in the Hundred that has been fully completed. There are, however, a number of issues to iron out.

Manchester Originals will also become the Manchester Supergiants, while the Northern Superchargers will also have the phase Sunrisers in their name. Oval is the most successful with their men’s side and women’s side winning two of the four editions of the event. The men’s side could also earn its third title this year.  

The 23rd game of The Hundred 2025 was played at Kennington Oval, where Oval Invincibles defeated Trent Rockets in a lively match. Captain Sam Billings won the toss for Oval and chose to bowl first. Both teams made one change – Saqib Mahmood came in for Jordan Clark, while Ben Sanderson replaced Lockie Ferguson.

Trent Rockets scored 171/7 in their 100 balls. Joe Root was the standout with a superb 76 from 41 balls, hitting 11 fours and a six. Rehan Ahmed made 28, and George Linde finished strongly with 25 off just 8 balls to give the innings late firepower.

In reply, Oval Invincibles chased the target calmly. Jordan Cox smashed 54 from only 24 balls, hitting two fours and six sixes. Tawanda Muyeye scored 20, and Donovan Ferreira hit the winning boundary. Oval finished at 172/4 with 11 balls left to win by six wickets.
