London Spirits succumbed to second loss as they failed to chase 124 runs against Trent rockets in the last game. Their top order fell like a pack of cards with scorecard reading 65/7 in 63 balls. Van Der Merwe top scored with 25 runs while lower order duo of Mohammed Amir (16 runs) and Blake Cullen (15 runs) showed some fight with the bat.

London Spirits controlled the innings beautifully with three spinners bowling 60 balls.

Van der Merwe, Amir, and Chris Wood completed the remaining deliveries with combined figures of 60-20-85-1.

Top players to bet on:

Eoin Morgan – Eoin Morgan is not having a good season so far with 18 & 13 in the two matches. We expect him to make a big score and help his team win the match.  

Mohammed Nabi – Nabi has bowling figures of 1/20 & 2/20 in two matches he bowled so far.  He has been phenomenal with the ball but is yet to shine with the bat so far and we expect him to come good in this match.

London Spirit Predicted Playing XI:

Zak Crawley, Josh Inglis (wk), Daniel Lawrence, Eoin Morgan (c), Joe Denly, Ravi Bopara, Mohammad Nabi, Roelof van der Merwe, Mason Crane, Chris Wood, Mohammad Amir
