Match Details

Venue: Lord’s, London

Pitch and Weather: The run-scoring wasn’t that easy at the Lord’s in London’s last home game. It aided the spinners and it is expected to be the same in this match as well. Like every typical English, it will offer something to the pacers initially. The weather forecast is not good for the match-day. It is expected to rain throughout the day. Temperatures are expected to be around 18-20C during the course of the game.

Date and Time: August 3, 2021, 6.30 PM Local, 11.00 PM IST

Probable Playing XIs

London Spirit’s middle-order batting hasn’t fired so far in this tournament and this is one of the reasons why they haven’t won a single game yet in the Hundred thus far. Even their skipper Eoin Morgan hasn’t been amongst runs which is a concern. However, they will be happy with the performance of its openers Josh Inglis & Adam Rossington whose efforts went in vain, and their bowlers were also not that bad.

The visiting Superchargers team will most likely play with the same team that won the last match. It is expected to be a slow surface and they have 2 quality spinners in their ranks. However, they would want the openers Adam Lyth to score runs at the top of the order. Faf Du Plessis may come into the side if deemed fit.

London Spirit

Adam Rossington, Josh Inglis (wk), Eoin Morgan (capt), Joe Denly, Ravi Bopara, Mohammad Nabi, Roelof van der Merwe, Blake Cullen, Chris Wood, Mohammad Amir, Mason Crane

Fantasy Tips 

Batsman: Harry Brook of Northern Superchargers has been in tremendous form with the bat and he is their highest run-sorer with 147 runs in 3 games.
