Oval Invincibles vs Manchester Originals Predictions


The Invincibles hammered the London Spirit in their opener and look like strong challengers to make it to the final again this season.

  • Oval Invincibles’ Will Jacks top-scored with 24 off 24 balls against the London Spirit.
  • Oval Invincibles’ Tawanda Muyeye has scored 59, 80 & 46 in his last 4 innings.
  • Manchester Originals’ Phil Salt has a strike rate of 157.93 (995 runs) in The Hundred.
  • Manchester Originals’ Jos Buttler has scored 55, 21, 77 & 22 in his last 5 innings.

Head-to-Head


Oval Invincibles have won four and lost one of their last five matches against Manchester Originals. The Invincibles have won the last three matches in a row against the Originals.

Oval Invincibles Form


The Invincibles got their season off to a strong start with a dominant win over the London Spirit. 

Sam Curran (3/18) and Rashid Khan (3/11) cut through the Spirit’s middle-order after Jordan Clark (2/8) had knocked over their openers. The Spirit were bowled out for 80 off 18.4 overs. 

Will Jacks (24) and Tawanda Muyeye (18) added 34 for the first wicket en route to a six-wicket win with 31 balls to spare.

Oval Invincibles Team News


The Invincibles are in excellent form again and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.

Manchester Originals Form


The Originals made it five losses in their last six matches after losing their season opener to the Southern Brave in a thrilling match.   

Phil Salt scored a powerful 60 off 41 balls at the top of the inning, but with the next top scores coming from Jos Buttler and Mark Chapman (both 22) they could post just 131/4 off their 20 overs.

The Originals fought back brilliantly with the ball through superb bowling from Scott Currie (4/28), reducing the Brave from 91/4 to 104/8 to keep the match alive. The Brave secured a one-wicket win with one ball to spare.

Manchester Originals Team News


The Originals look to be in good form, but their poor record against the Invincibles might see them look to beef up their batting for this clash.

Verdict

I am backing Oval Invincibles to win. I am also backing Will Jacks to top score for Oval Invincibles.

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