On Friday evening, Southern Brave will face London Spirit in match 10 of the 2022 Men’s Hundred at the Rose Bowl. Southern Brave defeated Welsh Fire in their first game, but were thoroughly defeated by Birmingham Phoenix on Wednesday. Oval Invincibles and Manchester Originals were defeated by London Spirit. Continue reading for a preview of this game. The game begins at 18:30 p.m. local time.
On Wednesday, Southern Brave faced the first centurion in the Men’s Hundred, Will Smeed. They were not at their best, but they still appear to be one of the tournament’s strongest teams.
In this year’s competition, London Spirit appear to be a completely different team. Eoin Morgan, the captain, is in excellent form with the bat and is getting the most out of all of his players.

Players to watch out for:
James Vince
The Southern Brave captain appeared to be in superb form before playing on to a thick inside edge on Wednesday evening. He is a crucial wicket for the opposing bowlers.
Chris Jordan
Regardless of the format, Chris Jordan can always be counted on to take wickets, bowl economically, and field with distinction. Against Birmingham Phoenix, he dismissed Matthew Wade.
Jake Lintott
The spinner bowled the most dot balls for his team on Wednesday and also claimed the dangerous Liam Livingstone.

London Spirit Team News:
London Spirit made one forced change ahead of their second consecutive victory in the 2022 Men’s Hundred. Dan Lawrence was away preparing for England Lions duty, so experienced all-rounder Ravi Bopara took his place. Lawrence will remain unavailable, and we anticipate that Bopara will be given the nod once more.
London Spirit Squad
Zak Crawley, Adam Rossington (w), Glenn Maxwell, Eoin Morgan (c), Kieron Pollard, Jordan Thompson, Ravi Bopara, Liam Dawson, Nathan Ellis, Mason Crane, Chris Wood, Toby Roland-Jones, Daniel Bell-Drummond, Mark Wood, Ben McDermott, Brad Wheal, Josh Inglis, Riley Meredith, Jamie Smith, Blake Cullen

Kieron Pollard
The 35-year-old former West Indian captain has had a fantastic start to this season. He has not been dismissed and has scored 53 runs in two matches.
Jordan Thompson
The bowling all-rounder has taken the most wickets so far in the tournament. As a white ball strike-bowler, he has made a name for himself.
Possible Playing XI:
Zak Crawley, Adam Rossington (wk), Glenn Maxwell, Eoin Morgan (c), Ravi Bopara, Kieron Pollard, Liam Dawson, Jordan Thompson, Nathan Ellis, Mason Crane, Chris Wood

Southern Brave vs London Spirit Top Team Batsmen
Our batting predictions for the Southern Brave are Quinton de Kock, James Vince, and Marcus Stoinis. On Wednesday, de Kock scored 15 runs off nine balls and is never far from a big score in white ball cricket.
We are rooting for Glenn Maxwell, Zak Crawley, and Eoin Morgan to bat for London Spirit. Morgan started the tournament with two scores of 47 and 37.
Southern Brave vs London Spirit Top Team Bowlers
For Southern Brave, we recommend Tymal Mills, Chris Jordan, and Jake Lintott. Mills went wicketless at Edgbaston, but he’s been in great form with the white ball for the last two years.
For London Spirit, we recommend Jordan Thompson, Nathan Ellis, and Chris Wood with the ball. Ellis took three wickets in the first game before giving up only 16 runs in 20 balls against Manchester Originals.

Southern Brave vs London Spirit Pitch Report
The pitch in Southampton rarely offers much pace, so cutters and pace off bowlers are often the most successful. The batters may face the most difficulty in adjusting to a two-paced wicket.
There will be no rain or clouds during this evening’s match. Despite the fact that the sun will set during the game, the temperature will remain above 25 degrees.
Southern Brave vs London Spirit Prediction
Southern Brave, the 2021 Men’s Hundred Champions, will be relieved to have another chance to win less than 24 hours after losing to Birmingham Phoenix. However, the London Spirit are quietly gaining ground and have been very impressive in their first two games. We anticipate a close match, but we believe Southern Brave will prevail.
