Manchester Originals bundled out for just 128 in 100 balls against Oval Invincibles in match number five of The Hundred 2025 season. Batting first, captain Phil Salt himself listed 41 of those runs from 32 balls with a boundary and three huge sixes at The Oval in London.

Senior man Jos Buttler, however, fell for a sluggish four-ball duck mere moments after opener Matty Hurst’s departure as the Originals slipped to 18-2 earlier in the game. It is worth noting that the senior Englishman also failed to go big against Southern Brave earlier this week as he scored just 22 off 18 balls in Manchester.

Ecstasy For Rashid, Agony For Jos Buttler

Gujarat Titans star Jos Buttler was dismissed for a four-ball duck by Oval Invincibles fast bowler Jason Behrendorff early in the game. With 22 runs in his last two innings, the legendary English batter is yet to light up the stage this Men’s The Hundred 2025 season.

Buttler’s IPL teammate and Afghanistan’s enigma machine Rashid Khan, on the other hand, sustained his newfound proficiency by delivering a tight three-wicket spell for the Oval Invincibles. After undergoing a below par IPL 2025 season for the Gujarat Titans franchise earlier this year, Rashid has now collected two three-wicket hauls in successive games in The Hundred.

He started off his season by headlining Oval Invincibles’ comprehensive six-wicket win over London Spirit in the tournament opener by claiming sensational match-winning figures of 3-11. After bagging his second successive three-fer, Rashid Khan now holds the highest number of wickets among all bowlers this The Hundred 2025 season, having scalped six wickets in two innings at an impressive bowling average of 5 and with an economy rate of just 4.50.
