Weather Report

The weather seems good at Lords for the LNS vs MNR fixture.

Pitch Report

The Lords track is good for batting but the slope will definitely be a factor as bowlers try and exploit the uneven bounce associated with it. Batting first is a better option.

Key Players

Matt Parkinson

Leg-spin is always a wicket-taking threat in T20 Cricket. They have a lot of command and Matt Parkinson can do enough to create some damage out in the middle. He has been in the sidelines for England a lot, and has a lot of experience which will come good now that he has a chance to take centerstage.

Zak Crawley

With Maxwell, Morgan and Pollard, London has a lot of strength in that middle-order. A good start will allow them to make that middle-order look even more intimidating and that responsibility ideally falls on Zak Crawley. Crawley has been around the Test arena for a while but is yet to settle into the limited-overs squad. With an opportunity to set up an innings for the others, he has a chance to settle into a role that England can find useful in the coming years.

LNS vs MNR Match Tips

LNS has one of the more intimidating line-ups going around. There middle-order is full of aggressive hitters and the likes of Morgan and Pollard managed to tee off for a while in the previous game as well. With such power in the line-up they are easily ahead coming into the game unless the likes of Andre Russell can produce something special, which he can with ease.

Match Prediction: LNS will win the match.
