Oval Invincibles vs Southern Brave Chance of Winning
You can’t put a price on the dominance that Oval Invincibles have shown this year. Right from the first match of the tournament, Oval were on the money and showed all-round strength to topple down the opposition with ease. Be it someone like Sam Curran doing what he does with bat and ball, to his brother Tom Curran raising the level with the ball - there has been no shortage of theatre.
Meanwhile, Southern Brave are easily the second-best side in the league after Oval. Forced to play Birmingham Phoneix in the Eliminator, which ended in a tied match, they won the Super Five with ease. While James Vince was the undisputed star with the bat, the bowling troika of Chris Jordan, Tymal Mills, and Jofra Archer were consistency personified. It has helped them big-time and should give them a lot of confidence ahead of the finale.
OVI’s chance of winning is 50%

Sam Curran continues to thrive both with bat and ball and hence, will be in a great position to make sure things are counted properly. What about Dawid Malan too? He has a history of doing well in T20s and we need to acknowledge that by putting in a good amount there.

Oval Invincibles vs Southern Brave Best Batters
Jordan Cox to be Oval Invincibles’ best batter (Parimatch)
The new to-be superstar of English cricket, Jordan Cox has brought a wealth of maturity to his batting recently.

Oval Invincibles vs Southern Brave Best Bowlers
Sam Curran to be Oval Invincibles’ best bowler (Parimatch)
Sam Curran’s all-round strength is a great matter of admiration for Oval Invincibles. However, with the ball, he has been magnificent, taking 17 wickets in eight matches at an average of 9.05 and an economy rate of 7.39. The top wicket-taker in the 2024 Men’s Hundred, Curran already has a five-wicket haul in the ongoing competition. Then what are you waiting for?
Chris Jordan to be Southern Brave’s best bowler (Parimatch)
The bigger the stage, the bigger the performance for Chris Jordan, who has defied all odds to become one of the best performers in the ongoing Hundred. The 35-year-old Sussex pacer has 14 wickets in Men’s Hundred 2024 at an average of 15.42, making him virtually unplayable this year. Bet on him, and you know he will deliver.
