London Spirit vs Oval Invincibles Prediction: Invincibles lost their last game

London Spirit and Oval Invincibles are going head to head in the 15th match of The Hundred Men at Lord's Cricket Ground, United Kingdom, United Kingdom on 4th August, 2024. Invincibles have lost their last game. Who will win this game of cricket?

London Spirit form

London Spirit will come into the game against the Invincibles at The Lord's with high morale. This will be their third consecutive match here, and they have won one out of their last two here. London Spirit recovered strongly from their shambolic start to defending 127 runs in their opening fixture by bowling out Welsh Fire for 94 runs while bowling first.

In this ground, particularly, their performances have been outstanding, and defending 127 runs is going to be a real challenge for the Birmingham Phoenix. Some of the key wicket-takers, like Liam Dawson, Nathan Ellis, Daniel Worral, and Olly Stone, are looking good for the fight. This is going to be one such game when bowlers dominate the game and prove to be decisive between the two teams. The batters struggled in the previous matches, and therefore, they will have to step up in this upcoming game if they are to bat first.

The middle order consists of Ollie Pope, Daniel Lawrence, and Ravi Bopara. Then, the finishers like Shimron Hetmyer and Andre Russell at numbers 6 and 7. With quite a few all-rounders on board, it brings depth to the batting order while giving the captain options of rotating bowlers during the game.

London Spirit Predicted Lineup

Adam Rossington, Michael-Kyle Pepper, Ollie Pope, Daniel Lawrence, Shimron Hetmyer, Andre Russell, Ravi Bopara, Liam Dawson, Olly Stone, Nathan Ellis, Daniel Worrall

Oval Invincibles form

The Oval Invincibles lost their recent match against Northern Superchargers by 19 runs as they could not chase down the target of 146 runs owing to a poor form of their batsmen. Despite posting a total of 113 for 9, the team's bowling performance still ensured a win. Chief operators like Sam Curran, Spencer Johnson, Adam Zampa, and Will Jacks proved key figures in both contests, having Birmingham Phoenix bowled out for as low as 89 in their opening match. The Invincibles squad represents bowlers with notable domestic and international experience, which makes them a force to be reckoned with in the upcoming encounter. Much now depends on how well the team's batters come to the aid of their bowlers for continued success. A strong batting lineup with T20 stars in the top three positions in the form of Will Jacks, Dawid Malan, and Jordan Cox, and the likes of Sam Billings, Sam Curran, and Donovan Ferriera in the middle order, can see the potential for strong performances from this team. Ferreira was the top scorer with 49 off 24 balls in the last game and he symbolizes the depth of batting talent that the team possesses, although the other batters will have to do more in the forthcoming games.

London Spirit vs Oval Invincibles Expert Tips & Prediction

This is going to be a great contest between two matched outfits, with both teams having in-form bowlers and strong batting lineups. The visitors may hold the advantage with their arguably deeper lineup and star finishers from the West Indies, but the tourists possess a solid top and middle order comprising experienced T20 batters. It will most likely be a very good game. But, according to our match prediction, Oval Invincibles will have the last word in this duel. Our prediction is an Oval Invincibles win.
