Oval Invincibles (OVI) have been impressive in the Men’s Hundred, accumulating seven points from four games. Key players like Will Jacks, Jordan Cox, and Heinrich Klaasen are in excellent batting form, while Gus Atkinson has been a standout performer. As they prepare to face Birmingham Phoenix (BPH) on Sunday (August 13), the team led by Sam Billings will likely approach the match with a sense of confidence. The game will take place at Edgbaston, Birmingham. In their recent fixture, the Invincibles achieved a victory by a huge margin of 94-runs in the clash against Manchester Originals (MNR)
Meanwhile, the Phoenix, captained by Moeen Ali, have struggled to meet expectations. Both their batting and bowling performances have been subpar, resulting in their current bottom position in the points table. To secure a playoff spot, they’ll need significant improvements in both departments. BPH lost their previous encounter against the Welsh Fire (WEF) as they faced defeat by six wickets.
