London Spirit to face Oval Invincibles next in The Hundred 2024 edition (X.com)

With The Hundred 2024 Men edition nearing its business end of things, Oval Invincibles will have a high-voltage face-off against London Spirit at the Oval Stadium on Sunday, August 11, from 7.30 PM IST.

While Oval are eyeing the playoff spot, London will be playing for their pride after getting eliminated from the tournament this week.

OVI vs LNS: Team Previews

Oval Invincibles

Oval Invincibles have by far been the best team of The Hundred 2024 men’s edition. With just one loss in six games, the team is seated comfortably at the top of the points table.

However, to confirm a playoff berth, the Invincibles will be required to beat the already eliminated London Spirit unit. 

The Curran brothers will undoubtedly hold the key. In the previous fixture against Brave, while Tom picked four wickets, Sam scored a blistering 35 runs off just 18 deliveries to wrap up the 119-run chase in 85 balls.

Still, the batting unit, especially the top order, will have to take responsibility to ensure a deep playoff run.

London Spirit

Meanwhile, London Spirit’s woeful run continued against the Manchester Originals as they lost by 12 runs in a low-scoring thriller.

Chasing 136, the Spirit’s middle order collapsed despite a good start from Keaton Jennings, who scored a half-century. 

While Hetmyer fought his way through with a 44 runs knock off 35 deliveries, the Spirit choked at the end to fall short of 12 runs, thus allowing Manchester to break their five-game long losing streak.

With another humiliating loss, London Spirit was officially knocked out of The Hundred 2024 competition. Yet, they can still spoil Oval’s party on their way out, which makes the upcoming fixture more interesting.

OVI vs LNS: Kennington Oval Pitch Report

The pitch at the Oval is generally hard and provides consistent bounce, which makes it favourable for batting. However, the trend this season suggests another low-scoring contest could be on the cards. Additionally, spinners may come into play, especially if the pitch starts to dry out and offers some turn. Batting second seems a wise choice given the tournament trend so far.
