MNR vs LDN Probable Winners:

London Spirit face last season's finalist, who are only able to play for pride in their next match. Manchester Originals are strong in the batting department, but they are likely to have trouble on the Lord's pitch, which has been bowler-friendly all season. London Spirit might capitalize on this for a second victory. Considering the team combination, London Spirit is expected to win this match.

London Spirit continues to look for a win as they struggled towards the end of last season as well finishing with a string of losses. Manchester started their season with a loss as well but both sides will be pleased with their losses coming off close margins.

LDN vs MNR Key Players

Zak Crawley

If Zak Crawley does make it for the first game he will be an interesting player to keep an eye on. He will be coming in with a lot of confidence having just went through an incredible Ashes series and that could push him forward well in the white-ball game too.

Jos Buttler

Jos Buttler returns to action after the T20 Blast, where he seems to have found some form. His numbers in the IPL prior to that though were not the greatest by his standards and he will be hoping to improve on that now in the Hundred as big crowds await him.

LDN vs MNR Match Tips

The upcoming game could be interesting with both sides coming in after close losses. Manchester though will be favorites with Jos Buttler in their ranks while London wait for the return of their Ashes stars.

Match Prediction: Manchester Originals Will Win the Match
