London Spirit haven't had a great start to their men's Hundred campaign in the fourth edition, losing both their games so far. Their batting has been too brittle in the absence of a couple of their England internationals and Zak Crawley's absence for the whole season is a huge blow to their top-order. Ollie Pope will be a welcome addition. However, Spirit will need the likes of Michael Pepper and skipper Dan Lawrence to do the heavy lifting as they look to get their first win on the board.
Spirit will also hope for much more from their West Indian internationals Shimron Hetmyer and Andre Russell. Against them will be Welsh Fire, who will rue their batting collapse against the Oval Invincibles chasing a paltry score of 113. The Fire definitely have a great squad at their disposal, especially with all their overseas players available including the pacers Matt Henry and Haris Rauf.
Like the Spirit, the Welsh team needs its batters to play a bit more consistently to get a good score on the board and then let their bowlers come into the game. It will be a battle of two good bowling attacks and the team that bats better will be able to get the result in its favour.
