what a way to finish it off! Lee steps out and flat-bats this short ball past Brunt to the boundary. Originals sign off with a consolation win, and in the process have also knocked out Trent Rockets. This also means Oval Invincibles are through.

Lizelle Lee is the Player of the Match. "Wish we had a better start. Personally didn't do as well as I hoped, it is what it is. We got close to a run-a-ball, after that I thought it wasn't necessary for me to play the big shots. This [The Hundred] is a brilliant concept, been much more than I expected. It definitely improved my game. Yeah definitely, if picked I'd love to come back."
The Originals were the first to be eliminated, but well, as it turns out, they've finished fourth, ahead of the Rockets
An absolute cakewalk for the Originals. Rockets were perhaps 20 under-par, and needed a big bowling effort upfront. They didn't get it. They instead saw the marauding Lizelle Lee throw them off gear with her beligerent stroke play. She went on to bat through to steer this chase quite comfortably.
