Oval Invincibles vs London Spirit Chance of Winning
Defending champions Oval Invincibles have hardly taken a step wrong in the ongoing season of the Hundred. From the success of Jordan Cox to Sam Curran, the Sam Billings-led side have been on the money. The likes of Tom Curran and Adam Zampa have been even more impressive with the ball - which direcly showcased in their performance.
Meanwhile, London Spirit were exactly the opposite. Hence, it is not a surprise that in six games, the side could only muster one win and now are out of the tournament. There was nothing about the Lord’s-based side that inspired confidence. Even on the worst days of Oval, they would easily be the better side - resulting in a full show of professionalism.
OVI’s chance of winning is 65%
LNS’s chance of winning is 35%
Oval Invincibles vs London Spirit Betting Tips
This has truly been the year of Sam Curran, both with bat and ball. He has been so good everywhere that leaving him out is just not an option at all. Adam Zampa is another player who has shown a different level of maturity in the ongoing edition. From London Spirit, only latecomer Keaton Jennings has shown a degree of versatility—hence, we should ideally have a stake reserved for him.

Oval Invincibles vs London Spirit Betting Odds
Oval Invincibles opening partnership to be over 21.5 runs @ 1.85 (Parimatch)
Oval Invincibles may have been sitting at the top of the table, but their batting hasn’t been excellent. Apart from their opening batting, of course. They’ve averaged 29.50 for the opening partnership in the ongoing season, partly because of the stability provided by Dawid Malan. The presence of Will Jacks has ensured that Oval have a very strong opening pair and we should take the benefit of the same by betting heavily on them.

Oval Invincibles vs London Spirit Best Batters
Sam Curran to be Oval Invincibles’ best batter (Parimatch)
Sam Curran is on a different level altogether. The second-highest run-scorer in the ongoing edition of the Hundred, Curran has already amassed 176 runs at an average of 44.00 and a strike rate of 172.54. It is not that he is having a sudden epiphany - he is well capable of doing that, having scored 3523 runs in his career at an average of 22.3 and a strike rate of 134.8. So why are you still skeptical?
Keaton Jennings to be London Spirit’s best batter (Parimatch)
Keaton Jennings joined London Spirit pretty late but has been on the money since then. The South African-born opener has 1924 runs in his T20 career at an average of 33.17 and a strike rate of 128.5, with nine half-centuries and one century to his name. His balls per dismissal ratio of 25.8 indicates that he loves to stick around. Hence, stay invested on him for the next match.
Oval Invincibles vs London Spirit Best Bowlers
Tom Curran to be Oval Invincibles’ best bowler (Parimatch)
While Sam Curran is killing it with both bat and ball, there is no lack of serendipity in Tom Curran either. The Elder Curran has 224 T20 wickets - four wickets in the last game, nonetheless - at an average of 24.4 and a strike rate of 16.8. An economy rate of 8.7 tells you he may go for many runs, but picking wickets hasn’t been a huge issue for him.
Liam Dawson to be London Spirit’s best bowler (Parimatch)
Liam Dawson’s spin bowling has been a huge positive for London Spirit in the last couple of years and even though the franchise failed to do better, Dawson didn’t disappoint. The English spinner has 217 wickets at an average of 26.7 and an economy rate of 7.3. Bet on him and you’ll surely not return disappointed.
