OVI vs SOB: Team Previews

Oval Invincibles

Led by Sam Billings, Oval Invincibles have had a stellar campaign in the competition, occupying the second spot in the points table with four wins in five matches. 

In their most recent encounter, the defending champions pipped Manchester Originals by three runs to boost their playoff qualification chances. 

Barring Sam Curran's all-round masterclass, the consistency of their bowlers, particularly Adam Zampa and Nathan Sowter. 

After failing in the initial matches, Will Jacks finally regained his mojo in the last game, smashing a whirlwind cameo before falling prey to Wayne Madsen's stunning catch. 

So, considering their recent form, the Invincibles are expected to give Southern Brave a run for their money in this match.

Southern Brave

On a similar note, Southern Brave have been phenomenal in the tournament, securing the top position in the eight-team standings. 

As anyone would expect, Hampshire's legend James Vince has emerged as their wrecker-in-chief with the bat, amassing the most runs in The Hundred 2024. 

However, they would expect better returns from the rest of their batters, particularly Leus du Plooy, Kieron Pollard and Laurie Evans. 

On the contrary, the Brave's bowling unit has stepped up to the occasion, with Chris Jordan, Craig Overton and Tymal Mills running a rampage in the competition.
