The Hundred Southern Brave beat Birmingham Phoenix to win men's title. Southern Brave were crowned the first men's Hundred champions after beating Birmingham Phoenix by 32 runs in an action-packed Lord's final. Chasing 169, Phoenix's Liam Livingstone thrashed 46 from 19 balls, animating a raucous Lord's crowd with an effortless flow of boundaries, before the game swung in dramatic and unlikely fashion. Tim David, only brought into the Brave's squad earlier this week, ran out Livingstone with a 60m direct hit from the deep - the in-form Livingstone agonisingly inches short. Birmingham still needed another 99 from 55 balls and Brave's impressive bowling attack closed out the game expertly to make the winning margin far greater than looked likely at one stage. Teacher-turned-Hundred star Jake Lintott had Moeen Ali caught for 36 from 30 balls. Ireland international Paul Stirling earlier hit 61 from 36 balls for the Brave before Ross Whiteley's crucial 44 not out from 19 balls lifted them to 168-5. The Oval Invincibles, winners of the women's final earlier in the day, joined the Brave with their trophy at the end of a special day at cricket's historic home. Thirty-three runs looks like a big winning margin, but when Livingstone was flying - the crowd on its feet as he hit sixes at will - Birmingham were ahead of the Brave in their chase. The game turned with a moment of sheer brilliance, however, from the most unlikely Brave hero. David, an all-rounder born in Singapore, who he has played for internationally, only made his debut in Friday's eliminator after coming in as a late replacement for New Zealand international Colin de Grandhomme, who flew home before the final. The big 25-year-old, who earlier took a fine diving catch, swooped on a loose ball after a diving attempt to catch Livingstone had gone down, turned and arrowed a throw directly into the stumps. His Brave team-mates sprinted to meet him in celebration. Livingstone covered his face with his glove, seemingly distraught. "As soon as he [Livingstone] was on his way back, Southern Brave were the champions," said former England captain Michael Vaughan on BBC Two. Source: BBC Sport Please subscribe to my channel.
