The Hundred 2022: LS vs BP Match Preview, Key Players, Cricket Exchange Fantasy Tips

London Spirit (PC: Twitter)

In a bid to grab the spot for the next round, London Spirit will fight it out against the Birmingham Phoenix in the 30th match of the Hundred scheduled to take place at Lord's, London, on 30th August.

Having won five out of their seven matches, London are currently second on the table and will look to seal the top spot. Winning the first four on the trot and then losing two from the following three put them in trouble, but the Eoin Morgan-led side knows how to make a comeback.

Their last encounter was against Oval Invincibles, where they were thrashed by six wickets after putting up 122 on the board.

On the flip side, Birmingham had a similar season apart from the first loss, which effectively gives them eight points from seven matches. Winning in their final encounter of the season would give them some hope to qualify but won't guarantee a spot as it will all boil down to Net Run-Rate with three more teams sitting at eight points.

Key players

• Moeen Ali's all-round ability could come in handy at any crucial stage, having already scored 161 runs and scalping four wickets to his name.
• Jordan Thompson has been another all-rounder who looked impressive with his skills with 12 wickets and quick runs lower down the order.
• Kane Richardson's 12 wickets in the season effectively make him one of the best bowlers in the tournament, also, his death bowling skills could come in handy.
