London Spirit Women vs Oval Invincibles Women Prediction: London derby with Oval Invincibles as favourites

London Spirit Women and Oval Invincibles Women are going to lock horns in Match 15 of The Hundred Women at Lord's Cricket Ground, United Kingdom, United Kingdom on 4th August 2024. It's a London derby with Oval Invincibles as favourites. Who will win this game of cricket?

The London Spirit Women's team itself was a very formidable batting unit; with Deepti Sharma coming into the scheme of things post-2023 Women's Asia Cup, things got only stronger. In the latest contest against the Welsh Fire Women, Deepti Sharma played a fine knock of an unbeaten 39 from 26 at number six, entertaining the crowd at Lord's. The team will also bank on Meg Lanning and captain Heather Knight to come up with important knocks with the bat. As far as bowling is concerned, Tara Norris, Danielle Gibson, and Sarah Glenn did a good job in the last match, while Charlie Dean, even though she didn't pick up any wickets, had a decent runs per ball rate, which should give her a lot of confidence in the upcoming matches as well.

Unlike their opponents in this clash from the other side of the Thames, the Oval Invincibles Women strengthened their batting with the signing of the skipper of the 2023 Women's Asia Cup Champions, Sri Lanka Women, Chamari Athapaththu. Athapaththu opened the innings in their last game but only managed one off six balls. She otherwise can be said to be one of the best batters in women's cricket. Competition from her teammates: Difficult competition for her comes in the form of her fellow teammate top four batters.

If there's some turn on offer at Lord's, Amanda-Jade Wellington may have a major role to play. Experienced Marizanne Kapp is a threat in every format and should know how to use the slope at Lord's.
