However, their reunion on the field did not bring success to London Spirit. Defending champions Oval Invincibles dominated the Spirit, bowling them out for 80 runs in 94 balls. Rashid Khan (3/11) and Sam Curran (3/18) led the charge as the Invincibles chased down the target in just 69 balls, winning by six wickets. After the match, Rashid commented on his performance: “It was nice to get off to a winning start... There was spin on offer. I mixed things up and it worked well.” Adding to the excitement, play was briefly interrupted by an unexpected visitor - a fox that ran across the ground, delighting the crowd at Lord’s.
