Teams Preview
Oval Invincibles Preview
Invincibles have been their best form right from the beginning of the tournament. They have comfortably won the league stage fixtures & will march into this fixture on the back of five five-wicket win over Trent Rockets. The Captain will look forward to carrying ahead this winning momentum & win their first title in the Hundred 2023.
Jacks has been the team’s best batter in 2023 & will look to provide a positive start to Invincibles. Billings who played a match-winning knock in the last fixture will aim to do well in the middle order along with Tawanda Muyeye and Sam Curran. James Neesham and Tom Curran are good hitters, adding strength to the side down the order.
In the bowling order, injuries have weakened their strength. They will now need a good show from Spencer Johnson and Gus Atkinson with the new ball. Sam Curran must add experience to play & do well in the middle with Nathan Sowter and Tom Curran. The team will expect a good show in the supporting role from Zak Chappell and Will Jacks.
Oval Invincibles Predicted Playing XI:
Sam Billings (c & wk), Jason Roy, Will Jacks, Tawanda Muyeye, Sam Curran, James Neesham, Tom Curran, Gus Atkinson, Nathan Sowter, Zak Chappell, Spencer Johnson
Manchester Originals Preview
Buttler’s team displayed an excellent batting show in the Eliminator Clash against Brave by handing them seven wickets defeat. The team will aim for a good show from the bowlers as they almost give away the fixture against Southern Brave.
In the batting order, Jos Buttler will be their biggest bet as he is the leading run-scorer of the tournament & will hope to deliver a positive start to the Originals along with Philip Salt. In the middle order, Max Holden and Laurie Evans have the onus of stepping up & scoring runs along with Paul Walter. The presence of Jamie Overton and Wayne Madsen in the lower order completes their lineup.
In the bowling department, the team will expect a good show from Richard Gleeson and Joshua Little. Zaman Khan who bowled on poor lines in their last fixture must do well in this fixture along with Paul Walter. Overton and Calvin Harrison must do well in the supporting role. Overall their bowling unit must click in unison if winning the fixture against mighty Invincibles is on their mind.
Manchester Originals Predicted Playing XI:
Jos Buttler (c & wk), Philip Salt, Max Holden, Laurie Evans, Wayne Madsen, Paul Walter, Jamie Overton, Calvin Harrison, Joshua Little, Zaman Khan, Richard Gleeson

Pitch & Weather Conditions
The weather conditions in London are overcast which will make batting a challenge for batters. Fats bowlers will try to move the ball making it difficult for batters to score runs. The team batting first can post a decent 160 runs total on board. The venue provides equal assistance to both batters & bowlers. Fast bowlers get an early assistance on this pitch but batters can do well as the match settles. Considering the nature of the pitch the team winning the toss should opt to bowl first.
Winning Prediction:
Manchester Originals batters are in excellent form but their bowling attack lacks effectiveness. Their bowlers should step up & deliver if winning is on their mind. On the other hand, Oval Invincibles’ key players are in astounding form & have performed well in the tournament so far. They have ended the league stage on the top of the Points table & are favorites to win this clash.
Prediction: Oval Invincibles to win
