The Men’s Hundred will include a match between the Oval Invincibles and London Spirit on Saturday evening. Three games have been won, two have been lost, and one has been rained out by the home side. After losing four games and one no result, the London Spirit finally secured their first win in their most recent match. The match between the two teams was called off without a ball being bowled.
With Jason Roy in good form, the Oval Invincibles enjoy a perfect home record in the Men’s Hundred and will fancy their chances of adding another win in this encounter.
The London Spirit’s confidence will be high for the short trip south of the Thames after finally obtaining their first victory in the tournament. If their experienced players perform well, they may be able to make it a series of victories.
