London Spirit and Southern Brave have both haven’t had the greatest of starts of the 2023 edition of the Hundred. London have played two matches – they lost their first game, while their second match was abandoned due to rain. Southern Brave, meanwhile, have played three, losing two and winning one. The two teams will now clash on August 8 at Lord’s in the hope of reviving their respective campaigns.

London Spirit lost their first match of the season to Oval Invincibles by 3 wickets. Their next match was against Manchester Originals, where they had conceded 138-5 in 80 balls before rain came down and no further play was possible.
Adam Rossington (189 runs in the last 10 matches at a strike rate of 180) and Dan Lawrence (126 runs in the last 8 matches at 126) will be the key for providing London with a solid start.
Matthew Wade played a fine hand of 37 off 27 balls in the first match against Oval Invincibles and will look to continue his form. Another one to watch out for is Daryl Mitchell. The experienced Kiwi middle order batter was in excellent touch in the recent T20 Vitality Blast, amassing 435 runs in 14 innings for Lancashire at an average of 43.50 and a strike rate of 160. He’s had a lot of playing time in these conditions recently and is our batter to watch out for.
When it comes to bowling, Jordan Thompson (14 wickets in the last 10 matches at an economy of 9.30 runs per ball) and Mason Crane (11 wickets in the last 8 matches at an economy of 9.25 runs per ball) are the ones worth backing.

Southern Brave are coming off a huge 60-run loss against Northern Superchargers. After opting to bowl first, they ended up conceding 201-3 and could manage only 141-5 in their response.
The team’s batting hasn’t clicked so far. In fact, their top-scorer after 3 matches is bowling all-rounder Chris Jordan (92 runs from 2 matches at a strike rate of 214). Leus du Plooy (75 runs from 3 matches at 129) has had a decent run as well and will need to hold the innings together.
The failures of Devon Conway (35 runs in 3 matches) and Finn Allen (59 runs in 3 matches) have hurt the team. However, they are established and dangerous openers in the shorter formats, and we see one of these two leaving a mark in this game.
Tim David, who blasted 40 off 19 balls in the match against Superchargers, is one of the best finishers in world cricket right now. Southern Brave will need him to fire in this match.
Apart from scoring runs, Jordan has also been among the best bowlers of the side, taking 3 wickets at an economy of just 5.40. Tymal Mills (4 wickets in 3 matches at 8.30) has done a pretty good job too so far.

The pitch at Lord's usually favors both batters and bowlers. However, rain is expected in London on the morning of the match. This might lead to some moisture on the pitch, which will make it tougher for the batters and provide some help to the seam bowlers. Once batters settle down, though, there will be runs on offer.
The average first innings score at Lord's in the competition is 138. The highest total posted here is 160-6 by London Spirit against Manchester Originals in 2022. The team batting first should look to set a target of around 150-160 runs.
Six matches of the men’s Hundred have been played at Lord's; three have been won by the team batting first and three by the side chasing. With the weather likely to be cloudy, the team winning the toss should choose to field first to utilize the overhead conditions and make early inroads.
London Spirit and Southern Brave have squared off in two matches, with both teams securing victories in one game each. On paper, Southern Brave look to have a more balanced squad than London Spirit. With genuine batters all the way down to number 8, the team poses a significant challenge for London's bowling attack. London Spirit will have to bat out of their skins to put Southern Brave out of the game.
We are backing Southern Brave as the winners of this contest.
