THE LOWDOWN
OVAL INVINCIBLES
Credit to Oval Invincibles, no team has shown as much fight as them over the course of the Men’s Hundred so far in 2023. That was on show in their win over London Spirit at Lord’s and came to fore again at the weekend vs Welsh Fire. After looking like falling away in their chase of 139, Tom Curran played a gem of a knock down the order, hitting 38 from just 18 balls including 4 sixes and a two with the final ball of the game to secure a tie, a full-length dive saving him from being run out by the barest of margins.
MANCHESTER ORIGINALS
Manchester Originals are coming off the back of their first win in the Men’s Hundred and a comprehensive one it was as well, getting the better of Birmingham Phoenix by 49 runs. Jos Buttler maintained his good form with 43, whilst Usama Mir continues to prove his quality during the English summer, the Pakistan all-rounder striking 32 not out from just 14 balls to parachute Manchester Originals to 160/8, before taking two wickets in Birmingham’s reply. Tom Hartley also picked up three wickets as spin ruled the roost for the hosts, Birmingham Phoenix bowled out for 111.
THE PREDICTION
The spinners of Manchester Originals are unlikely to have as much success as they did on Monday at the Kia Oval, a ground which is rarely conducive to spin in white ball cricket. Oval Invincibles will be confident of taking the Manchester bowlers apart with hitters right down the order. The hosts have shown how hard they are to beat, taking games deep even when under pressure and that experience come the crunch may well serve them well again here. Consider backing the Invincibles to make it two wins from three this year.
BETTING TIP: OVAL INVINCIBLES TO WIN
