London Spirit vs Southern Brave Predictions

Bottom-placed London Spirit have lost three of their last four matches. The Brave are in the playoff places and I don’t think the Spirit have the confidence to push the Brave for the win.

Southern Brave’s Hilton Cartwright has scored 42 & 51* in his last 2 innings.
Southern Brave’s Leus du Plooy has scored 48* & 55 in his last 5 innings.
London Spirit’s Jamie Smith scored 41 off 27 balls against Northern Superchargers.
London Spirit’s Ollie Pope has scored 52* & 23 in his last 2 innings.

Head-to-Head

Southern Brave have won two and lost one of their four matches against London Spirit. The other match was rained-off.

London Spirit Form

The Spirit suffered their third defeat in four matches when they lost to the Northern Superchargers by eight wickets.

The Spirit reached 135/3 off 100 overs. Ollie Price top-scored with 52* off 38 balls.

The Superchargers raced to an eight-wicket win off 82 balls. Jamie Overton (1/22) was the pick of the Spirit bowlers.

London Spirit Team News

London Spirit need a huge improvement in their batting and bowling and are likely to make some changes to their squad.

Southern Brave Form

The Brave bounced back from three defeats on the trot to beat the Welsh Fire by four runs.

The Brave battled to 129/8 off their 100 balls. Hilton Cartwright (51* off 19 balls) top-scored for the Brave as they recovered from 71/5.

Jofra Archer (3/20) led a brilliant bowling performance as the Brave restricted the Fire to 125/8 off their 100 balls.

Southern Brave Team News

There are no injury reports from the Southern Brave squad.

Verdict

London Spirit v Southern Brave

I am backing Southern Brave to win. I am also backing Hilton Cartwright to top score for Southern Brave.

Jamie Smith is a good bet to top score for the London Spirit.
