SOB vs LOS Team Previews

Southern Brave

Southern Brave may have had a hit and miss kind of tournament so far, they would not be disappointed even by one bit. However, they will be keen to bounce back with a win here and a failure to do so will certainly put them in a spot of bother.

As it currently stands on the points table, Southern Brave are placed at the sixth position on the points table. Owing to a recent loss at the hands of Birmingham Phoenix, they have a pretty poor net run-rate of -0.211, which they would want to improve too.

While Southern Brave have a batting order that matches that of London Spirit on potency and experience, their players have not had enough chances to get acquainted with the conditions. They won their first match with nine wickets in hands and it proved to be all too difficult for their batters in the second match.

Southern Brave will need their experience and explosive batsmen in the likes of Marcus Stoinis, James Vince, and Tim David to play to their potential with other batsmen batting around them. It would be difficult but if the Brave are able to do it, London Spirit will have their work cut out.

London Spirit

Coming from a terrible season last year, London Spirits have nowhere to go but up and they have certainly surprised one and all. Having won both of their two completed matches thus far, London Spirit will be brimming with confidence coming into this one. Having said that, this will be a litmus test for them given that this is not going to be an easy assignment by any stretch of imagination.

The Spirit are currently leading the points table with four points and a terrific net run-rate of 1.375. Another win here will put them in the driving seat as far as the qualification for the knockouts is concerned and that is exactly what they will be aiming for.

London Spirit are loaded with some of the best players of the shortest format and that has paid off for them so far. Led by Eoin Morgan, one of England's most successful limited-overs captains, the Spirit are rich in experience, be it with the bat or with the ball. The presence of Glenn Maxwell, Ravi Bopara, and Kieron Pollard add to their firepower with the bat.

On the bowling front as well, they have a decent lineup that has been doing pretty well thus far. Nathan Ellis, Mason Crane, Liam Dawson, and Chris Wood along with the presence of multiple all-rounders provide their side with a number of options and immaculate balance. All in all, London Spirit have an excellent side and that is evident by the results they have posted. Having said that, this is a crunch contest and they will need to keep the guard up and play to their on-paper potential. If they are able to do so, getting past them would likely be a tough challenge.

SOB vs LOS Toss Prediction

We have seen the team batting second do better in the tournament so far and that is perfectly in line with the expectations. We have seen the teams preferring to chase in the shortest format of that game and it isn't different in the Hundred as well. Also, the last match here saw the team chasing win by a substantial margin. Both captains would know that too. Considering the factors stated above, we expect the captain winning the toss to field first.

Pitch and Conditions

Southampton is one of the very few venues in England to feature long boundaries. While clearing boundaries and hitting sixes would need some power, scoring along the ground should be easy given the true surface and fast boundaries. Also, with fielders likely to be patroling the boundaries, there will be plenty of twos on offer. This is going to be a cool evening and there isn't going to be a lot of change in the conditions. That said, batting did get better as the evening progressed in the last game here. Keeping all that into consideration, the team batting first would be targeting to score a total of at least 170 runs.

SOB vs LOS Betting Tips

This is a battle between the two teams placed at the opposite ends of the points table in the last edition of the tournament. London Spirit have done remarkably well up until now to keep themselves up at the top. Southern Brave, on the contrary, are yet to hit their peak potential. One paper as well, London Spirit appear to be a bit better-balanced side with their key players in prime form. They also have an immaculately balanced side, thanks to the number of all-rounders they have. Considering the recent form of the two sides, the odds on offer, and the other factors stated above, betting on London Spirit certainly seems to be a value punt here.

    Man of the Match - Glenn Maxwell

Glenn Maxwell may have not fired to his ability up until now but he has certainly looked good in the short stay he has had at the crease. He can contribute in all three facets of the game and is a remarkably good batsman. Also, he bats in the top order and is likely to have ample time to score runs. Largely because of his all-round ability, Glenn Maxwell seems to be the perfect candidate for the man of the match award in this upcoming contest.

    Best Batsman - Southern Brave - James Vince

    4.50

    Visit

James Vince has been an exceptional form right from last year's T20 Blast continuing into this tournament as well. He is coming on the back of a terrific fifty and will want to do something similar here as well. Being an opener, he gets an opportunity to bat for the longest amount of time. For that reason, the skills he possesses, and his form, a bet on Vince to be the best batsman of the day for Southern Brave seems to be a pretty lucrative option.
