MO vs LS Match Prediction : 9th Match, The Hundred Mens Competition 2025

The Manchester Originals have recent history to boast of against the London Spirit, but the London Spirit has shown it knows how to turn things around. The Originals team would’ve been disappointed with its tight loss to the Southern Brave in its opening game. That was compounded with another devastating loss to the Oval Invincibles.

MO vs LS Team Previews

Manchester Originals

The Manchester Originals enter this season with an intriguing blend of talent that feels more like promise than performance until now. Captain Phil Salt remains their most consistent batting asset, but the weight of expectation is high. He recently impressed with 60 off 41 in their opener and backed it up with 41 in his second innings.

The opener has been a rare beacon of form in an otherwise wobbly lineup. Alongside Salt, Jos Buttler offers leadership and flair behind the stumps, but his recent outings haven't mirrored the spark he can bring. He scored a duck against the Invincibles.

Heinrich Klaasen and Mark Chapman inject variety and power. The lack of their impact may raise concerns over whether the Originals can string together reliable batting performances under pressure.

Bowling-wise, the wildcard inclusion of James Anderson is a nod to nostalgia but may not make strategic sense in the short format. Anderson is a veteran seam bowler who has been more eye catching than game changing. The supporting cast is Lewis Gregory, Scott Currie, Noor Ahmad and Sonny Baker.

The bowling promises depth but so far hasn’t inspired confidence as a unit. The team’s bowling was wayward against the Invincibles after conceding 129 for one in 57 balls to lose by nine wickets. Four of the six bowlers in that match conceded more than two runs per ball.

The Originals have history on their side. They were runners-up in 2022 and 2023, but they crashed to seventh in 2024. Building from that proud heritage, this season feels like a reset rather than a step forward. The back-to-back losses would’ve intensified the team’s problems.

Manchester Originals Expected Playing 11

London Spirit

London Spirit begins their 2025 campaign with renewed optimism after a win following their opening loss. Kane Williamson, stepping in as captain, brings calm and clarity to the batting order. His measured approach and experience make the Spirit a more balanced unit than the one that floundered last season.

The Black Cap has over 7000 T20 runs with 50 half-centuries and a century. David Warner is the marquee signing everyone’s talking about. He was player-of-the-match in the last match. His pairing with Williamson rekindles memories of their IPL camaraderie at SRH.

The supporting batters add depth and stability. Jamie Smith behind the stumps is sharp and dependable while also flashing brilliance with the bat. The young batter struck a quickfire 26 runs with a strike rate of 185. Keaton Jennings and Sean Dickson offer solid top-order reinforcement with a wealth of local knowledge of conditions.

The all-round batteries of Ashton Turner and Liam Dawson provide crucial balance. Turner has made two scores of 20-plus runs this season. The Australian import has made some exciting starts and will be looking to kick onto bigger, more meaningful innings. The seam quartet of Jamie Overton, Luke Wood, Richard Gleeson and Daniel Worrall is filled with variety. As a group, the seamers have 57 wickets in the Men’s Hundred.

London Spirit’s doubling-down on intent is clear. They’ve moved from underachievers to strategic contenders. Though they may have been written off early after last season’s showings, this squad is brimming with leaders and tacticians ready to define this season as a better one.

MO vs LS Toss Prediction

After the opening round of fixtures, chasing was the overwhelming better choice at the toss. All the first four matches were won by the chasing sides. Neither captain may find any reason to hesitate with bowling first.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The surface at Old Trafford should be balanced for batters and bowlers alike with good bounce and pace. The confident stroke-makers are likely to flourish once they get set, while accurate pace bowlers will come into play earlier on. The pitch often exhibits early seam movement, meaning the first powerplay is when the batters will need to play more watchfully. The Manchester Originals put up 152 for seven in its previous Men’s Hundred innings at the ground.

The chance of rain currently only sits at four percent, making it almost null and void. The biggest takeaway from the weather will be the partly sunny conditions with warm temperatures.

MO vs LS: Who Will Win?

A fierce battle should be on the cards with two almost evenly matched teams taking to the field. The Originals’ lineup on their home ground will make for an intimidating task for any opposition. That is a task that the London Spirit will be less frightened of now with their first win of the season in their last match. The Manchester Originals has not opened its account yet.

Bet on London Spirit to win.

MO vs LS win percentage stands at 53% in favor of LS.
