The Cricketer look at the main talking points as Oval Invincibles beat men's champions Southern Brave at the Kia Oval
The highlight of the contest came in the ninth ball of the match.
Reece Topley was kept on for back-to-back sets and it paid dividends. Quinton de Kock had a big heave at a wide ball, slicing the ball out to deep point.
Rilee Rossouw ran in, timed his leap to perfection and took a brilliant low catch.
We've seen a handful of those incidents across this competition and more often than not it has ended with the fielder falling short and the ball rolling to the boundary.
But Rossouw was not to be denied. He would later come out to bat with a runner, but by that point, he had left an indelible mark on the match.
Credit must go to Sam Billings for attacking from the off against a vulnerable Southern Brave top-order.
He deployed Topley for back-to-back sets at the very start of the innings. Shipping just nine runs and dismissing De Kock made it a more than justified move.
The left-armer returned for balls 16 to 20 and took a second wicket of Alex Davies, leaving Brave 18 for 2 after 20 deliveries.
According to ESPNCricinfo's Matt Roller it was just the fifth time in the men's Hundred that a bowler has delivered three of the first four sets in an innings.

There was some joy to be taken from Jason Roy reeling off a third duck in The Hundred and that came via George Garton, who produced a stunning delivery to dismiss the England opener.
A full, in-swinging ball from the left-armer penetrated the defences of Roy and left his stumps in a mess.
The Sussex seamer leapt in celebration, left knee in the air, fist-bump unleashed.
You could feel all the frustration from the last 12 months released in one moment. Garton has been struck down by bouts of long Covid, limiting his outings across the campaign.
It was only last summer that he bowled Brave into the men's Hundred run with a fine display at the Kia Oval but it has been a tough run to this point.
And while that journey might not feel worth it, it was a nice moment for a cricketer who has enjoyed zero fortune over the past year.

Like busses, the men's Hundred centuries keep flowing.
The first two centuries in The Hundred being hit by two England pretenders is no coincidence.
Matthew Mott asked for players to stick their hand up ahead of the T20 World Cup and this pair have delivered.
Given both have form in the sub-continent they surely have to be considered for the Pakistan T20s when England might not initially be at full strength.
And if they prove themselves there they are surely shoo-ins for the tournament itself, when the ball coming on will surely assist their games.
