OVLW vs LSW Match Prediction & Analysis
Oval Invincibles will take on London Spirit in The Hundred Women’s competition at the Kennington Oval. The home team has won one of their two matches at this venue so far.
Batting isn’t a concern only for the visitors. The home team also has troubles in their batting department. Though they won the last game while defending 142 runs, it was only a couple of batters who led their batting effort.
And in their previous at this venue, Oval Invincibles scored just 128 runs batting first. While the batting lineup is deep, there is no consistency and it has been the bowlers who’ve led the Invincibles to wins in recent times.
London Spirit, on the other hand, have lost two games in a row after their first two games were abandoned due to rain. They scored 124 and 104 batting first in their last two outings.
Heather Knight needs to step up and play a captain’s knock in the middle order to lead the comeback from London Spirit.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Oval Invincibles Women Preview
Oval Invincibles will need to win this match to continue to stay in the top 4 of the points table. They have just one point more than the number 5 placed Manchester Originals.
Marizanne Kapp, who scored a brilliant unbeaten 64 off 40 balls at number 4 in the last game, taking the team total to 142, will be confident of asserting dominance over a struggling London Spirit side.
However, skipper Suzie Bates will be concerned about her own batting form as an opening batter. She scored just 9 off 14 balls in the last game and has been scoring at a strike rate of below 100 for the last 3 innings.
Alice Capsey is a promising batter at number 3 who scored a fifty in her last innings at this venue. Cordelia Griffith showcased her big-hitting abilities in the run chase against Northern Superchargers with an unbeaten 30 of 15 balls, albeit in a losing cause.
There is potential in this middle and lower order but what they need right now is consistency and a comeback from the skipper at the top of the batting order.
Bates has a great variety in the bowling attack that allows her to use up to 7 bowling options. And that is the biggest strength of the Invincibles side. Paige Scholfield, Marizanne Kapp, and Ryana Macdonald Gay will be the key bowlers in this side to watch out for.
Oval Invincibles Women Predicted Playing XI:
Lauren Winfield-Hill (wk), Suzie Bates (c), Alice Capsey, Marizanne Kapp, Paige Scholfield, Mady Villiers, Cordelia Griffith, Kira Chathli, Ryana Macdonald Gay, Eva Gray, Sophia Smale

London Spirit Women Preview
A winning spirit is what lacks from the London Spirit batting lineup. As we discussed in one of our previous predictions for this team, they have many young and inexperienced players in the lineup.
And that can be a tough challenge to navigate given how tough the opposition’s bowling attack and the playing conditions at the venue are. Even the star players are struggling to score runs this season.
Batting all-rounder from Australia, Grace Harris has struggled to score runs at the top so far and will be the key player if London Spirit are to stage a comeback.
Her opening partner Danielle Gibson, on the other hand, has looked promising making significant contributions in both games. Skipper Heather Knight and Melie Kerr are crucial figures in the middle order.
If these two fail to make an impact, the lower order of Richa Ghost, Sophie Munro, and Grace Scrivens will not add significant runs to the total. To win this match, they would need at least 140 or more runs on the board if they bat first.
Sarah Glenn is the key bowler leading this attack and will be ed by the likes of Charlotte Dean and Lauren Filer. These three are the key players in this bowling attack while there are others who could be thought of as weak links in the side.
London Spirit Women Predicted Playing XI:
Grace Harris, Danielle Gibson, Heather Knight (c), Melie Kerr, Richa Ghosh (wk), Grace Scrivens, Sophie Munro, Sarah Glenn, Charlotte Dean, Tara Norris, Lauren Filer

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
It is a great batting wicket where batters can easily time their strokes but if fast bowlers hit the deck hard they can get some help too. It will be a good contest between bat and the ball on this pitch. The weather would be partly cloudy with a high of 24 degrees Celsius.

Spin Bowling
Kennington Oval in London will be the venue for this encounter where both teams are in desperate need of a win to stay alive in the contest. In domestic T20s, the average 1st innings score on this ground is 165 runs. The last game here saw the team batting first score 128 runs. It seems to be getting tougher to score big on this ground of late. We reckon a 140+ score batting first would be a very competitive and potentially match-winning total at this venue.
Toss: To Bat
The two games played at this venue so far were close encounters and neither batting or bowling first has a clear advantage. However, considering the batting woes in both teams, and the promise shown by some of their bowlers, we reckon batting first and defending a total would be the way to go.
OVLW vs LSW
Winning Prediction
Both teams have their own batting struggles to deal with as they come into this match. However, the hosts have the winning momentum on their side, and their bowlers have been impressive of late. They’ve got a deeper batting lineup with some promising players in the middle order. The visitors, on the other hand, rely on a few key bowlers while others may be a little too expensive.
Overall, Oval Invincibles Women seem to have a clear edge in this contest and will start as favorites in our match prediction.
