London Spirit Form

London Spirit will be hoping for a far better season in 2025 after an atrocious showing in 2024. They finished rock bottom, winning just one of their eight games.

The Spirit has not made the final in the first four events and while the bookmakers don’t have much faith in them this season either, they do have some promising players.

Given the squad available, the Spirit should do fairly well this season. David Warner, Kane Williamson, Ollie Pope and Jamie Smith all offer plenty with the bat, however, the bowling department lacks serious quality and experience.

The Oval Invincibles are among the favourites to win The Hundred in 2025. They are the defending champions after beating Southern Brave in the 2024 final. In fact, the Invincibles are the two-time defending champs as they won in 2023 and 2024.

Batting first in the 2024 final, Will Jacks got the Invincibles off to a strong start, top scoring with 37 runs off 22 balls. Sam Curran and Jordan Cox both added 25 while Tom Curran had a late flurry with 24 off 11 balls.

The total of 147 was a challenging one and ultimately proved too much for the Brave. Saqib Mahmood was the start with the ball, taking 3-17 off 20 balls with the Southern Brave falling 17 runs short.

The Oval Invincibles have once again got themselves a well-balanced squad. Stars from last season, Sam Billings, Will Jacks, Tom and Sam Curran, Jordon Cox all return while breakout South African star, Donovan Ferreira is also in the squad. On the bowling front, Rashid Khan is the star alongside England international, Gus Atkinson.

Verdict

London Spirit v Oval Invincibles

I am backing the Oval Invincibles to win this fixture with Will Jacks to top score. For the Spirit, I am leaning towards David Warner to make an impression.
