Nine's coverage of the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup final and Australian Ninja Warrior have led the network to an overnight win, as it dominated both the main and multichannel ratings.
The Cricket World Cup final, broadcast on multichannel 9Gem, drew a 361,000 metro overnight average audience, as New Zealand took on England.
The final was the number one multichannel program for the night with 485,000 tuning in nationally and a peak national audience of 741,000.
The nail-biting conclusion to the One Day International cricket tournament, saw England topple the Kiwis as the game went into a 'Super Over', as neither team could secure victory in their 50 overs at the crease.
The tournament has been a multichannel success for Nine, which maintained the rights to the World Cup and the upcoming Ashes series, despite the changes to the domestic cricket broadcast rights in Australia last year.
The viewing figures were extremely different from the previous World Cup in 2015, which was hosted in Australia and New Zealand and also saw Australia take home the cup.
On the main channel, Australian Ninja Warrior took out the top prime time spot, drawing in 899,000 metro viewers.
Seven's House Rules followed in second place with 732,000 viewers, while Ten's MasterChef just edged over the 600,000 viewer mark, with 605,000 tuning in.
Airing elsewhere overnight was the Wimbledon final, which saw Novak Djokovic topple Rodger Federer in a five-set contest.
While final numbers are not yet available from Seven, early numbers reveal 311,000 and 424,000 viewers tuned in for the Day Early and Day Late sessions.
In the overnight main channel battle Seven pipped Nine to the post with a 21.4% share, compared to Nine 20.7%. Ten came in third with 10.6%.
However, Nine won the overall network battle, led by Ninja and the Cricket World Cup, taking a 33.8% share, while Seven and Ten followed with 29.6% and 16%, respectively.
