One team is coming into this match after winning their first game of the season while the other has just suffered their first loss of the The Hundred 2024. The hosts pack a strong bowling attack with most of their key bowlers looking very promising at the moment.
They will back themselves to put the Invincibles on the back foot, especially if they win the toss and opt to bowl first. The visitors also have an in-form bowling attack that is responsible for their two wins. In their first outing, they bowled out Birmingham for just 89 runs bowling first, while in the next match, Oval Invincibles successfully defended 113 runs.
Two in-form bowling attacks, a bowling-friendly wicket, and weather conditions set the stage for the London Derby. This should be a close contest with the game going right down to the wire.

London will have their spirits high as they take on the Invincibles at The Lord’s. This will be their 3rd consecutive match at this venue having won one of the last two.
After failing to defend 127 runs in their first match on this ground, London Spirit bounced back strongly as they bowled out Welsh Fire for 94 runs while bowling first.
The bowlers have been impressive at this venue as they made life difficult for the Birmingham Phoenix while defending 127. Liam Dawson, Nathan Ellis, Daniel Worral, and Olly Stone are the key wicket-takers in this side to watch out for.
This match will be dominated by the bowlers and they will be the key players for both sides. Batters have struggled in both matches so far and will need to bounce back in this match.
They will need to put on a much better performance especially if they are put to bat first. The middle-order features Ollie Pope, Daniel Lawrence, and Ravi Bopara while as finishers, Shimron Hetmyer and Andre Russell are at number 6 and 7.
The number of all-rounders in the side makes this batting lineup very deep and gives the skipper many options when it comes to rotating his bowlers in the field.
The London Spirit captain has had a quiet season thus far, accumulating 59 runs in three matches, including two scores over 25. He made a promising start in the last game but couldn't convert it into a substantial knock. Against the Oval Invincibles, he has scored 89 runs in four matches, averaging 35.2 at Lord’s. We back Dan Lawrence to come good in today's London Derby.

Oval Invincibles suffered a 19-run loss in their last match against Northern Superchargers. The lack of form in the batting lineup finally caught up to them as they failed to chase a 146-run target.
They finished with 113 for 9 in their previous outing. It was the bowling effort that saved them and led them to victory. In the opening game too, the bowlers delivered match-winning spells as they bowled out Birmingham Phoenix for just 89 runs.
Sam Curran, Spencer Johnson, Adam Zampa, and Will Jacks are among the key bowels in this side. Almost all of the bowlers in the Invincibles squad are match-winners with plenty of domestic and international experience.
They will pose a tough challenge to the hosts in this game. However, they need from their batters to deliver another win. It is a solid-looking batting lineup with some of the big T20 stars at key positions in the batting order.
Will Jacks, Dawid Malan, and Jordan Cox are some of the biggest T20 stars in England in the top 3 of this lineup. They’re followed by Sam Billings, Sam Curran, and Donovan Ferriera in the middle order. The list of impactful players is endless.
Each of these players has delivered big performances in the past for various franchises they’ve played for. Ferreira scored 49 off 24 in the last game and was the top scorer for Oval Invincibles while chasing 146 runs. No other batter could even reach the 20-run mark.
Will Jacks has scores of 7, 25, and 6 in his last three innings this season, despite his typically aggressive approach at the top. However, Jacks boasts a strong record against the London Spirit, accumulating 178 runs in five innings. Additionally, he has excelled at Lord's, amassing 316 runs in 10 shortest format matches, averaging 31.60. Based on this, we anticipate Jacks to rebound from his recent low scores and sur 20.5 runs today.

There will be cloudy skies over London on the match day with a high of 23 degrees Celsius. There should be no rain as far as the weather forecast goes and we can expect an uninterrupted match.
The average 1st innings score in the last 10 T20 games on this pitch is 138 runs. While in the Men’s Hundred, only two games were played so far this season and the team batting first only scored 94 and 127 runs. It looks like a tough wicket to bat on and the bowlers are having the time of their life at The Lord’s so far. The overcast conditions could be one reason behind the bowlers’ success in recent matches
In the two matches played at Lord's in the Hundred Men's competition in 2024, the total match scores have been 258 and 190. Given the pitch's clear advantage to bowlers and the strong bowling attacks facing off today, we predict a low-scoring thriller and the total aggregate score under 277.5.
Teams batting second have won 3 of the last 6 Men’s Hundred matches at this venue. There is no clear advantage to batting first or second on this ground but in recent matches, batting has looked difficult on this pitch and teams have preferred to bowl first.
It will be a close contest between two equally-matched teams. They’ve both got in-form bowlers and a strong batting lineup. The hosts may have a deeper lineup with star finishers from West Indies but the visitors have a solid top and middle-order featuring experienced T20 batters. It will be a neck-and-neck contest with Oval Invincibls starting with a slight edge in our match prediction.
