London Spirit will take on Northern Superchargers in match number 24 of The Hundred Men's Competition 2023 at the Lord's in London on Friday, August 18. The action will kick off from 11:00 PM IST.

In the 2022 edition of The Hundred Men's competition, London Spirit finished third after winning five of their league stage matches. They lost in the Eliminator against Oval Invincibles. Oval Invincibles finished fifth in the 8-team table after winning four and losing as many matches.

London Spirit vs Northern Superchargers Chance of Winning

Northern Superchargers are likely to beat London Spirit in their upcoming match of the men's Hundred 2023 season. Superchargers have lost their last two matches but they have the firepower to topple any team. The top three of Matthew Short, Tom Banton and Henry Brooks are young and very talented and have the potential to single-handedly win the match for their team. In the company of experienced Adam Hose, they are very likely to post a good total against a London bowling unit which is heavily relying on Daniel Worrall and Nathan Ellis.

Moreover, London batters have lacked consistency and Liam Livingstone continues to disappoint and is lacking confidence and motivation. Matthew Wade has also misfired and the same is the case with Adam Rossington. Tackling the bowling unit consisting of Reece Topley, Wayne Parnell, Brydon Carse, Callum Parkinson and Adil Rashid would not at all be easy for the seventh-ranked team in the 8-team table.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Northern Superchargers

Third-placed Northern Superchargers look set to beat London Spirit in their upcoming fixture. Superchargers carry a lot of firepower in their side and their top-heavy batting-unit is expected to fire big against London who have missed the contributions from their big guns Liam Livingstone and Matthew Wade. Zak Crawley has also managed just 49 runs from four matches. The bowling unit apart from Daniel Worrall has also failed to impressive. On the flip side, Superchargers bowling unit have some serious bowling talents who can make life miserable for London batters. Chances of Northern Superchargers beating London Spirit is better.
