In the previous edition of The Hundred, London Spirit (LNS) performed exceptionally well. However, they fell short of reaching the finals after losing in the eliminator. With the goal of rectifying this and clinching their first championship title in the tournament, the team led by Dan Lawrence is determined to begin stronger and secure a victory in their opening match against Oval Invincibles (OVI) at the historic Lord’s on August 2.
On the other hand, the visiting team, led by Sam Billings, secured a fifth-place finish in the points table. This year, their aim is to enhance their performance. With top-quality players such as Heinrich Klaasen, Jason Roy, Sam Curran, and Adam Zampa, the team is optimistic about their prospects in the upcoming season.
