SOU Team News
After winning the first Men’s Hundred in 2021, Southern Brave finished down in seventh in 2022 before bouncing back to finish in third place in 2023. Once again, they have put together a very competitive squad and Southern Brave will be looking to get off to a winning start.
SOU Team Batting
New Zealand’s Finn Allen will not be available for this opening game for Southern Brave as he is still involved in the 2024 Major League Cricket with San Francisco Unicorns. However, in James Vince, Laurie Evans and Leus du Plooy, Southern Brave still have a very capable top order.
SOU Team Bowling
Southern Brave have most bases covered with their bowling attack which includes the experience of Chris Jordan alongside the left-arm options of George Garton, Akeal Hosein and Tymal Mills. Craig Overton is another top performer, particularly in English domestic competitions.

London Spirit Team News & Playing 11
LDN Team News
Overall, London Spirit have been one of the weaker sides in the Men’s Hundred over the first three seasons. They finished in eighth in the inaugural season before improving and ending third in 2022 but were back in seventh in 2023. Zak Crawley and Ollie Pope are both unavailable due to England’s Test series with West Indies.
LDN Team Batting
There is plenty of experience at the top of the order for London Spirit with Daniel Bell-Drummond, Adam Rossington and Ravi Bopara likely to be in the top three. Dan Lawrence is likely to be released from England’s Test squad and will bat at number four.
LDN Team Bowling
As ever, Liam Dawson will be key with his left-arm spin in this game and London Spirit have a strong group of pace bowlers to back him up. Australia’s Nathan Ellis possesses plenty of variations with Ollie Stone bowling at pace and Richard Gleeson will be consistent and will get bounce from this pitch.
LDN Team Form
London Spirit were thrashed by six wickets and by 77 runs in their last two games of the 2023 Men’s Hundred.

🏆 Southern Brave vs London Spirit Prediction
Both teams are slightly under-full strength due to international commitments and other tournaments but they will both deliver very talented XIs. We think Southern Brave have more experienced white ball players in English conditions and we are backing them to win.
