Despite playing incredibly well in the last edition of The Hundred, London Spirit failed to qualify for the finals as they lost in the eliminator. Thus, with the hope of changing that and winning their maiden title in the competition, the Dan Lawrence-led side will aim to start stronger and win their first game when they take on Oval Invincibles on August 2 at the iconic Lord’s.
When it comes to the visiting team, the Sam Billings-led side finished fifth on the points table and hence, will be aiming to improve this year. They have quality players in the ranks in the form of Heinrich Klaasen, Jason Roy, Sam Curran and Adam Zampa among many others. Hence the team will be confident of their chances in the upcoming season.
