Currently, the Invincibles hold a strong position with three victories out of four matches, positioning them at the top of the table.

The Invincibles’ recent encounter was against Birmingham Phoenix (BPH), where they chose to field after winning the toss. Despite Phoenix’s aggressive start, they lost three wickets at 44 runs. Jamie Smith‘s impressive innings of 60 runs from 33 balls powered Phoenix to score 160 runs in the first innings.

In their most recent match, the Spirits faced Trent Rockets (TRT), with the Rockets choosing to field after winning the toss. Despite an early wicket loss for Spirit, a strong second-wicket partnership followed by even better collaborations enabled them to post an imposing total of 195 runs. The Rockets chased the target aggressively, making the match thrilling until the end. However, Spirit maintained their composure and clinched victory by a close margin of two runs.

Kennington Oval Pitch Report:
The Oval is renowned as a favorable T20 cricket pitch for batters, offering them the chance to play attacking shots against both fast bowlers and spinners. The venue’s dimensions also contribute, with one corner being shorter than the rest, making it a prime target for batters to capitalize on and score heavily, particularly during the closing stages of an innings.
