Players to watch out:

Marizanne Kapp

One of the most complete all-rounders in the women’s game, Marizanne Kapp was a rare bright spot in the loss against London Spirit, returning figures of 2/23. Since the inception of The Hundred, she has been a consistent match-winner, claiming 39 wickets with a best of 4/9, while also contributing 663 runs with the bat, including the highest score of an unbeaten 64*. Her ability to influence games in both disciplines makes her a key figure for Oval Invincibles.

Meg Lanning

The newly signed star for Oval Invincibles made an instant impact against her former side, London Spirit, blasting 85 off just 51 balls. Lanning, who previously represented the Spirit, brings with her a wealth of international experience and a reputation for match-defining innings. Her arrival strengthens Oval’s top order and adds a winning mentality to their lineup.

Seren Smale

Steady and composed in the middle order, Seren Smale played a crucial role with 40* off 34 balls. Now part of Manchester Originals after her stint with Birmingham Phoenix, the wicketkeeper-batter is quickly becoming a dependable option for building innings and holding the middle together under pressure.

Beth Mooney

It was an uncharacteristic outing for Beth Mooney, dismissed for just 1 run against Southern Brave, but the world-class wicketkeeper-batter remains one of the most reliable performers in the modern game. Calm, technically sound, and a natural leader, Mooney was pivotal in the 2024 season, scoring 191 runs including a stunning unbeaten 99*. Expect her to bounce back swiftly.

Pitch:

The surface at the Kennington Oval offers a fine balance between bat and ball, though it traditionally leans in favour of batters. With consistent bounce and carry, stroke-makers can dominate once they settle in. However, early in the innings, pacers are likely to find some assistance, making the new-ball spell crucial for both sides.

Weather:

Conditions are set to be mostly sunny, with temperatures hovering around 24°C. Humidity will be around 44%, and there’s only a 20% chance of precipitation, ideal weather for an uninterrupted contest and free-flowing cricket.

Fantasy Playing XI:

Beth Mooney, Meg Lanning, Alice Capsey, Amelia Kerr, Marizanne Kapp, Deandra Dottin, Sophie Ecclestone, Amanda-Jade Wellington, Tash Farrant, Lauren Winfield-Hill, Mahika Gaur
