LOS vs TRR Match Preview
Dan Lawrence and Adam Rossington will look to give London Spirit a strong start. The duo put up 46 runs for the opening wicket in the first match and appear to be in good touch. Michael Pepper and Matthew Wade make up the middle order, while all-rounders Ravi Bopara and Daryl Mitchell add strength to the batting and the bowling.
The bowlers did get to bowl a few overs even in the rain-interrupted matches and have done a decent job so far. Daniel Worrall is the leading wicket-taker with 4 wickets, while the other seamers, including Jordan Thompson, Nathan Ellis, and Ravi Bopara have picked up 2 wickets each.
Michael Critchley and Liam Dawson are the two specialist spinners on the team.
Despite having some of the best T20 batsmen on its squad, the Trent Rockets have struggled to put up big totals on the board. Sam Hain is the top-scoring batsman with 83 runs in 2 innings. But he has received limited support at the other end.
Openers Alex Hales and Dawid Malan are two of the most experienced batsmen in the Hundred tournament but aren’t in the best of forms. The same thing can be said about Colin Munro and Tom Kohler-Cadmore. There is plenty of depth in batting for the Rockets as Imad Wasim, Daniel Sams, and Lewis Gregory can all do well with the bat.
Luke Wood is the pick of the bowlers with 4 wickets and will likely start with the new ball alongside Sam Cook, while Sams and Gregory will play a supporting role. Imad Wasim is the lone quality spinner on the team.
Weather Report
The weather will remain clear with temperatures of around 20 degrees.
Pitch Report
The pitch at Lord’s is well-balanced. The average first-inning score on this ground is around 140. The seamers will get some movement with the new ball and the batsmen will need to be a bit careful with their shot selection. However, once they settle down, it will become easier to score runs. The spinners too can get a good amount of purchase from the surface.
Notable stats
Alex Hales’ Explosive Batting
Hales is among the top 5 all-time highest scorers in the history of The Hundred. He has scored 453 runs so far at a strike rate of 142.60. He has only scored 38 runs in the two innings he has played this season but you never want to count him out.
