London Spirit: David Warner, Kane Williamson, Keaton Jennings, Wayne Madsen, Ashton Turner, John Simpson (wk), Luke Wood, Liam Dawson, Daniel Worrall, Richard Gleeson, Jafer Chohan.
Oval Invincibles: Will Jacks, Miles Hammond, Jordan Cox, Sam Curran, Sam Billings (c/wk), Donovan Ferreira, Tom Curran, Rashid Khan, Saqib Mahmood, Jason Behrendorff, Nathan Sowter.
Lord’s in London has been a balanced venue in the shorter format with something in it for bowlers. Batters can still put on big totals as the average first innings score of 172 suggests. The team winning the toss is likely to opt to field first.
The weather forecast looks clear for this fixture with rain unlikely to pose any threat and the temperature around 15 degrees Celsius.
