Manchester Originals vs London Spirit Team Preview
Manchester Originals
Manchester Originals were defeated in their first match in a 40-ball apart game, but there were still reasons to be optimistic. They will be optimistic about their prospects of winning this game.
With only 80 balls bowled in the entire encounter in Cardiff on Wednesday, neither the batsmen nor the bowlers will be exhausted ahead of this game. England’s Josh Tongue came straight from the festivities in London following The Oval victory to play in the final match.
London Spirit
In their London derby earlier in the week, London Spirit gave Oval Invincibles a run for their money, but ultimately fell 5–10 runs short offensively. They have a big number of T20 experts on their roster.
After batting at the top of the order for England in the Men’s Ashes, Zak Crawley is likely to make his season debut in the Men’s Hundred in this game. Mark Wood is expected to remain out with a damaged heel.
