- Last 5 results: L, W, L, L, L
- The Hundred was over for London Spirit a long time ago!
- They have now managed 1 win in 6 matches and need more points to avoid getting the first wooden spoon.
- They have been very poor in this tournament as they have just never got started.
London Spirit Top Batters
- J Inglis – 99 runs
- A Rossington – 96 runs
- E Morgan – 85 runs
This shows the depth of their problems – not a single player over 100 runs in 6 matches. Englan’s Eoin Morgan has struggled despite clearly having enough ability to play in this format of cricket. It has been strange to watch the performances of these players as none of them have impressed.
London Spirit Top Bowlers
- M Nabi – 6 wickets
- B Cullen – 6 wickets
- B Wheal – 4 wickets
Again the issues are glaring. They are yet to have a bowler take more than 1 wicket per match on average, excluding Wheal who has only played 1 match. Cullen and Nabi are capable of better than this but like the whole team, they have not performed at their best. Nabi does come away with some credibility with a 6.75 economy so far.

Brad Wheal came into the team and was an absolute game-changer for them. His 4/17 from 3 overs was an exceptional spell and won them the match. He took the player of the match award.
Oval Invincibles vs London Spirit Match Prediction
Londons Spirits’ last win does not take away from how poorly they have performed. Wheal came in and changed things but it was still a close result. They have nothing to play for in this match and the Invincibles have everything to play for.
Predicted result: Oval Invincibles to win the match comfortably.

Roy’s 56 at an SR of 193 set up the win very well. Narine bowled superbly in this match. If they are to make the finals they could be the 2 star players for the team.
