If there is one team that needs explaining as to how is it still able to lose so many games on the trot, after getting so close to the target. They lost against Birmingham Phoenix after controlling the game for the most part of it. Against Trent Rockets, they were unable to chase as small a target as 124, while against Southern Brave, they couldn’t score 14 off the last 10 balls with five wickets in their hands.
The losses that the Spirit have suffered is surely unbelievable, but do they have the spirit to come back is the real question. Now they would be up against the Northern Superchargers who are coming on the back of their first win of the season where they defeated Oval Invincibles by six wickets at their home in Leeds.
Will Eoin Morgan’s men finally get past that final hurdle to win it for their side, or will Supercharges continue their charge?

There was finally some change in the pitch and a game that went above the score of 140 was at display at Lored’s. The pitch still offered plenty to the bowlers even as The Hundred is considered a batsman’s format. A similar pitch is expected in this game, which would be the fourth in a row at home for London Spirit.
With 30% chances of precipitation at the start of the game around 06:30 pm in Lord’s and the same percentage continuing till 08:00 pm, chances are that the game might see rain interruptions. But hopefully, the audiences will have a game at their hand.
