The Hundred Men's 2025: Match 22, LNS vs NOS Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match between LNS vs NOS?

The London Spirit (LNS) will be up against Northern Superchargers (NOS) in the upcoming Match No. 22 of the Hundred Men's 2025 at the Lord's, London on Wednesday, August 20. This will be the second game of the double-header in the fixtures scheduled for the day.

The London Spirit have struggled to find consistency in the five matches of the season that they have participated in so far. Winning just a couple of games and losing three, the London-based franchise has eight points and is placed seventh on the leaderboard currently. In a bid to mark a strong comeback and better their positioning on the table, LNS would aim for nothing less than a win on Wednesday.

On the other hand, Northern Supercharges have been one of the best sides in the 2025 season as far as the points table is concerned. With 12 points from five outings, the Superchargers are currently positioned third on the table. The only concerning thing about the side has been their negative net run-rate (NRR), however, a comfortable victory in the upcoming contest will be helpful for the side to better that.

The venue of Lord's in London has been offering an even-steven surface for both the batters and the bowlers. As a result, a good contest looks likely on the cards.

Probable Best Performers of the Match

Probable Best Batter: David Warner

Even at almost 39 years of age, Australian opener David Warner is making a mark in The Hundred as well. The London Spirit opener has been their best batter so far, with 165 runs from five matches at an average of 41.25. If he can manage to bat at a decent strike-rate in the upcoming clash, he can be the difference between Northern Superchargers and a win on Wednesday evening.

Probable Best Bowler: Adil Rashid

Northern Superchargers' Adil Rashid has been in good form with the ball of late. He has participated in five games in this season so far, accounting for six wickets, but what truly stands out about the leg-spinner is his ability to bowl at cheaper economy rates. He has conceded runs at just 7.80 per over, which is considered very good, especially in this format. He will look to provide the needed strikes in his spell at the Lord's.
