Manchester Originals vs London Spirit Predictions

London Spirit bounced back from defeat in their opener by beating the Welsh Fire by eight runs. I am backing the Spirit to beat the Originals, who have lost their opening two matches.

London Spirit’s David Warner has scored 75* & 70* in his last 3 innings.
London Spirit’s Kane Williamson has scored 63, 114 & 153 in his last 5 innings.
Manchester Originals’ Phil Salt top-scored with 41 (3 sixes) against the Oval Invincibles.
Manchester Originals’ Jos Buttler has scored 21, 77 & 22 in his last 5 innings.

Head-to-Head

London Spirit have won two and lost two of their last five matches against Manchester Originals. The other match was rained-off.

Manchester Originals Form

The Originals followed up their heart-breaking one-wicket loss to the Southern Brave by going down to the Oval Invincibles by nine wickets.

The Originals crashed to 18/2 before Phil Salt (41 off 32) and Mark Chapman (28 off 19) got the innings back on track. Scott Currie (21 off 9) was the only other batter to reach 20 as the Originals struggled to 128 off their 100 balls.

The Invincibles smashed their way to a nine-wicket win off just 57 balls. Lewis Gregory (1/31) picked up the only wicket to fall.

Manchester Originals Team News

The Originals will be concerned after losing two on the trot and might look to bring in an all-rounder and perhaps another batter.

London Spirit Form

The Spirit squeezed out the Welsh Fire to rack up their first win on the back of an opening defeat at the hands of the Oval Invincibles.

David Warner smashed 70* off 45 balls (8 fours, 2 sixes) as the London Spirit posted an impressive 163/5 off their 100 balls.

The Spirit’s bowling attack slashed through the Fire’s top-order to reduce them to 39/5 after 33 balls. They ended on 155/6 off their 100 balls, with Daniel Worrall (2/31) the pick of the Spirit’s bowling attack.

London Spirit Team News

London Spirit are looking good after picking up their first win of the campaign and are likely to field the same side against the struggling London Spirit.

Verdict

Manchester Originals v London Spirit

I am backing London Spirit to win. I am also backing David Warner to top score for London Spirit.

Phil Salt is a good bet to top score for the Manchester Originals.
