LOS vs NOS Match Preview
Skipper Dan Lawrence has led his team from the front and is the top-scorer for the London Spirit with 141 runs. Adam Rossington scored a scintillating 61 off just 32 deliveries in the last match and seems to be in good form too. However, the other top and middle-order batsmen, including Zak Crawley, Michael Pepper, and Matthew Wade have been below-par in their performances.
It is a similar story with the bowlers too., as none of them have been able to put the opposition under pressure. Daniel Worrall is the leading wicket-taker with 6 wickets, while the likes of Nathan Ellis, Matthew Critchley, and Daryl Mitchell have been a bit lacking in their effort.
Tom Banton and Matthew Short are likely to open the batting and will hope to give the team a good start. The two are also the top scorers for the team this season. The middle order has some quality players including Harry Brook, Adam Hose, and Saif Zaib, who can play a solid innings in the middle overs, while David Weise and Brydon Carse add depth to the batting.
Reece Topley and Wayne Parnell have done an excellent job with the new ball, picking up 17 wickets between them. However, the team will expect more from the other bowlers including Callum Parkinson and Adil Rashid.
Weather Report
The weather is expected to remain overcast and there are chances of rain, which might be an advantage for the team batting second if the DLS does kick in.
Pitch Report
The pitch at the Lord’s Stadium is well-balanced, providing equal opportunities to the batsmen and the bowlers. There will be some lateral movement off the pitch and the batsmen will need to tread carefully early on.
