The hosts from Oval are in sensational form, to say the least. They are placed right atop of the leaderboard with five wins and 20 points to go with.

Match Details

Pitch Report

The pitch at the Kennington Oval in London is known to be a good wicket to bat on, especially in the first innings. However, spinners can make a mark in the game when the night darkens. Picking rank turners at this venue can be a tricky task, especially when playing under lights. However, the batters will be confident of preparing themselves enough in a format that is dominated by them.

Probable Best Performers of the Match

Probable Best Batter: Jordan Cox

Jordan Cox has undoubtedly been the best batter of the tournament in its ongoing fifth edition of the competition. With 280 runs across seven innings, the right-handed batter has not only had his best season in The Hundred yet, but is also the highest run-getter of the edition thus far. He is averaging a mind-boggling 70.00 this season, which makes him a key contender to score the most runs for his side against London Spirit.

Probable Best Bowler: Rashid Khan

The ace spinner Rashid Khan was expected to have an average season with the ball, since the pitch on his side's home ground does not offer a lot for the spinner. However, the Afghanistan spin maestro has put everyone in awe of his masterful craft. Rashid has picked 12 wickets in just six matches so far, and despite missing the last clash, he is expected to return to the Playing XI and prove his worth once again.
