Although Jason Roy has not been on top of his game, a London derby in front of his home fans is the type of occasion which brings the best out of him. We are backing the opener to be Oval Invincibles’ highest run scorer in this match. Reece Topley will enjoy the hard and fast surface at the Oval. He is our tip for the home side’s top wicket taker against London Spirit.
Ben McDermott impressed for Hampshire Hawks in the T20 Blast and his big hitting took them all the way to the title earlier this summer. The Australian opener is our pick for London Spirit’s highest run scorer against Oval Invincibles. With the ball, we expect Jordan Thompson to chip away at the home team’s batters and to be London Spirit’s top wicket taker in this match.
Sunil Narine is a very dangerous white ball bowler with plenty of experience in short format cricket. He is a strong choice to take over 1.5 wickets.

OVI vs LNS Match Prediction & Betting Tips, The Hundred 2022
Oval Invincibles take on London Spirit in Match 2 of the 2022 Men’s Hundred on Thursday evening at the Kia Oval, South Longon. The Invincibles finished in fourth place, one point outside the play-off positions last season. London Spirit won only one of eight games and finished bottom of the group stage. Read on as we preview this match. The game gets underway at 18:30 local time.
Oval Invincibles stumbled at the wrong point last season and fell out of the top three spots after the final group game. They will have a strong team spirit and will be cheered on by passionate supporters in this match.
London Spirit will struggle to perform worse than they did during the 2021 Men’s Hundred. Trevor Bayliss will take the pressure off the players and we expect them to give the hosts a good game in this clash.

Oval Invincibles Team News & Playing 11
OVI Team News
The hosts will be without powerful top order batter Rilee Rossouw in The Hundred 2022, who finished the T20 Blast as the second highest run scorer this year. He is currently on international duty with South Africa and will give the team a boost when he returns. As with last year, the Invincibles have a strong Surrey contingent in their side.
OVI Key Players
Jason Roy - the England international opener has been in poor form for his country and will see this tournament as his chance to cement his place in the team with the T20 World Cup on the horizon.
Mohammad Hasnain - the 22 year old pace bowler from Pakistan announced himself on the BBL with a triple wicket maiden at the start of this year. He will excite the crowds and target the stumps in this game.
Reece Topley - the England international has had his most impressive summer to date. He will want to keep up his strong white ball form ahead of the T20 World Cup in two months.
OVI Team Form
Oval Invincibles lost their final game of the 2021 season to Southern Brave who leapfrogged them in the table and went on to win the tournament.
Oval Invincibles Predicted Playing 11
Jason Roy, Will Jacks, Sam Billings (c) (wk), Jordan Cox, Sam Curran, Hilton Cartwright, Sunil Narine, Tom Curran, Danny Briggs, Mohammad Hasnain, Reece Topley
The Lord’s based team will be coached by former England Head Coach Trevor Bayliss who is known as a white ball specialist. They will largely have a full squad to choose from with the exception of England pace bowler Mark Wood who is working his way back to fitness.
LNS Key Players
Glenn Maxwell- the batting all-rounder has never quite cracked Test cricket but has lit-up T20 leagues and international games across the globe. He will excite the crowds with plenty of boundaries in this competition.
Ben McDermott- the 27 year old keeper-batter impressed for Hampshire Hawks in the T20 Blast earlier this summer. He hit five half-centuries including 62 in the win in the Final.
Jordan Thompson- the bowling all-rounder has gone under the radar of the international selectors but is a regular wicket-taker in global T20 tournaments. He picked up 17 dismissals in this year’s T20 Blast.
LNS Team Form
London Spirit were unable to get going during the 2021 tournament but will look at this as a new season with a fresh and clean slate.
London Spirit Predicted Playing 11
Ben McDermott (wk), Zak Crawley, Glenn Maxwell, Eoin Morgan (c), Dan Lawrence, Liam Dawson, Kieron Pollard, Brad Wheal, Toby Roland-Jones, Jordan Thompson, Mason Crane

Oval Invincibles vs London Spirit Betting Odds
Oval Invincibles are favourites to get off to a winning start in this match. However, the bookies are expecting a close game with London Spirit pushing the hosts all the way.
Who will win Oval Invincibles vs London Spirit Match?
Neither side will have the pressure of last year’s exploits hanging around them in the early stages of this year’s tournament. However, the fans of Oval Invincibles will be expecting a win against last season’s bottom team.
Jason Roy, Will Jacks and Sam Billings are our batting tips for Oval Invincibles. Billings was rewarded with an England Test cap after impressing in the BBL earlier in the year.
We are backing Ben McDermott, Zak Crawley and Glenn Maxwell as our batting picks for London Spirit. Crawley has been in poor form in Test and County Cricket and will benefit from playing his shots under the coaching of Bayliss.
Reece Topley, Mohammad Hasnain and Sunil Narine are our recommendations with the ball for Oval Invincibles. Hasnain is not the type of bowler to worry about leaking runs and he will be the strike bowling option.
We expect Brad Wheal, Jordan Thompson and Toby Roland-Jones to be the top bowlers for London Spirit. Wheal took 22 wickets in this year’s T20 Blast and triumphed with Hampshire Hawks.
After one of last year’s London derbies was washed out at Lord’s, this game will be eagerly anticipated by fans of both sides. We predict that London Spirit will play with no fear and look to put last year’s disappointments behind them. Overall though, we think that Oval Invincibles will be too strong and are predicting a win for them.
