London Spirit vs Oval Invincibles prediction

Back-to-back men’s Hundred winners Oval Invincibles have a great chance of recording a ‘three peat’ when considering the players at their disposal. They’ve always been dominant against London Spirit and whilst it may be a little closer this year, you would still expect Oval Invincibles to get the better of them. A large Surrey contingent spearheads the side with the likes of Sam Curran and Will Jacks at the forefront, whilst Essex’s Jordan Cox is another high run-scorer.

All eyes will be on David Warner and captain Kane Williamson for London Spirit, who have been perennial strugglers over the course of the men’s Hundred, bar 2022 where they finished in third-place. Runs have always been an issue and those two stars should help them on that front, but also provide vital leadership. However, it may well take time for the Spirit to mesh as a unit, whereas Oval Invincibles are more complete at this point in time, so back the latter to triumph.
