London Spirit will lock horns with Oval Invincibles in the 15th game of The Hundred 2024 at Lord’s Cricket Ground in the United Kingdom on Sunday, August 04. London are coming on the back of a 6-wicket loss at the hands of Welsh Fire. Whereas, Oval are coming on the back of an 82-run heavy loss at the hands of Northern Superchargers.
London Spirit find themselves on the top spot of the points table. Starting the season with 2 consecutive wins, they have won 2 of their 3 clashes of this season so far. But their consecutive winning streak was broken when they lost its third match to the Welsh Fire by 6 wickets.
There is so much batting depth in London Spirit’s side and, following the conclusion of the 2023 Women’s Asia Cup, they have been bolstered by Deepti Sharma in their middle order. Before her, Meg Lanning and captain Heather Knight are expected to make big contributions. With the ball, Tara Norris, Danielle Gibson and Sarah Glenn were in the wickets and will look to continue the same.
On the other hand, Oval Invincibles are sitting in the fourth spot on the points table. They have the same stats of win and loss but due to a slighter negative run rate, they are behind the London Spirit. Oval also saw their batting line-up add a big name in their last match as they added the captain of the 2023 Women’s Asia Cup Champions, Sri Lanka, Chamari Athapaththu.
Although her opening innings of this season’s competition saw her contribute only one run from six balls, she is one of the best batters. Meanwhile, in bowling, Amanda-Jade Wellington to play a key role but the experienced Marizanne Kapp, is always a threat across all formats, and she should be able to take advantage of the Lord’s slope.
