London Spirit are set at +124 odds. With less cricketing action in recent months, there are doubts about whether David Warner and Kane Williamson can turn back the clock with their performances. Moreover, England internationals Jamie Smith and Jamie Overton aren’t guaranteed starters, given their participation in a thrilling final test match against India on Monday. However, with a talented bench strength.

Both teams have enough firepower in their probable XIs, but with Oval Invincibles having Cox and Jacks at the top, they will likely hit more sixes, while the Spirit have more four-hitters. Hence, Invincibles at -130 seems to be the best bet for the individuals taking a shot at the teams to hit the most sixes.

London Spirit vs Oval Invincibles Picks & Prediction

• Will Jacks to Score Over 21.5 Runs (-112)
• Total Match Sixes Over 9.5 (-106)
• Total Wickets Under 12.5 (-111)

Will Jacks

Going into the tournament, there’s one player who is going to go loud in every game with his bat, and he is none other than Will Jacks. The English batter is a power-hitter and wouldn’t refrain from hitting the ball in the shortest format of the game, where runs keep coming. Jacks is fifth in the batting charts among the highest run-scorers in The Hundred, with 790 runs in 33 games at an average of 25.48, while scoring 156 runs in 2024.

Total Match Sixes

This is a fast-paced tournament and putting a high score on the board is just going to be a bare minimum. Going over 9.5 in this one should be a safe and easy bet, as five sixes per team are expected to be hit, irrespective of the match situation. David Warner, Will Jacks and Jordan Cox are expected to be among the players to clear the fences in this game.

Total Match Wickets 

It’s just a 100-ball game, and the continuous dominance of batters sometimes doesn’t let the bowlers dictate terms and with a batting-friendly surface, taking under 12.5 wickets call should not be rather risky bet to make.
