Oval Invincibles, the reigning champions, are on course to reach the Men’s Hundred final straight from the league stage for the second time in a row and would want to all but seal their place on Sunday in the London derby against local rivals London Spirit. The manner in which they overcame Southern Brave, the Invincibles’ strongest competitors in the tournament, will give them plenty of confidence.
While no one can take this lightly, given the performance London Spirit have had in the competition so far, the Invincibles will be comfortable with their chances of getting 12 points on Sunday night at the Oval. Spirit have already been eliminated from the competition and despite having players like Shimron Hetmyer and Andre Russell in their batting order, their hitters have failed too often and they became the second team after the Manchester Originals to be eliminated.
The Invincibles, however, will want a bit more from the likes of Dawid Malan and captain Sam Billings, two of their most senior players. Although the Braves can challenge them for a direct place in the final, if the Invincibles win on Sunday they will be virtually in the clash for the top spot. Unless one of the Braves or Birmingham Phoenix put in a splendid performance at the end and the defending champions end up losing their remaining two matches.
