Match 15 of The Hundred Women’s 2024 will feature the London Spirit Women facing off against the Oval Invincibles Women on August 4, 2024.
The London Spirit (LNS) will contend the Oval Invincibles (OVI) on August 4 at the historic Lord’s in the match no. 15 of Women’s Hundred Competition 2024.
Both teams have followed a similar trajectory in the tournament after three matches, yet they are separated by three positions due to a difference in net run rate. This disparity can be attributed to their most recent games, both of which ended in losses.
While the Spirit were narrowly defeated by the Welsh Fire Women, who won by 6 wickets with five balls to spare, the Invincibles suffered a heavy loss, falling by 82 runs to the Northern Superchargers.
Pitch Report
The pitch at Lord’s is renowned for its balanced nature. Traditionally, it favours seam bowlers early on due to its grassy surface, while later stages of the game see the pitch becoming more conducive to spin and stroke play. The unique slope at Lord’s adds an extra challenge, requiring players to adapt their techniques accordingly. The two matches played so far at this venue in the ongoing tournament have resulted in high scores, and a similar high-scoring game can be expected.
