Oval Invincibles will be up against Northern Superchargers in the league match of the Hundred 2022 at the Kennington Oval in London. Both sides have won one and lost one of their games so far in the tournament.
Jason Roy will be leading the Oval Invincibles in this match as regular captain Sam Billings and Will Jacks are unavailable. Roy would want to come out of his poor run of forms with the bat. Sunil Narine and Tom Curran have bowled well for the side, whereas Sam Curran has to step up with both bat and the ball.
For Northern Superchargers, Harry Brook and Matty Potts won’t be available for this contest. Faf du Plessis and Adam Lyth will need support from players like David Willey and David Wiese to support them with the bat. They have some really decent options in the bowling department though.
