LNS vs WEF Match Prediction – Who will win today’s The Hundred Men match?

London Spirit will square off against bottom-placed Welsh Fire at the Lord’s on Wednesday, 24th August. The capital side London Spirit are placed second at the table and can go top of the table with a victory against Welsh Fire, who are yet to open their account in this year’s edition of the Hundred.

Eoin Morgan’s team were defeated for the first time this season in their previous encounter against table-toppers Trent Rockets after winning four consecutive matches. Meanwhile, Josh Cobb’s Welsh Fire has had a nightmare tournament so far, losing all of their five fixtures in the second edition of the competition.

They head into the clash against Morgan’s London side, following a battering by nine wickets in their previous encounter against Southern Brave. Cobb will have to inspire his team to an unlikely win if they are to open their account in the next match.

LNS vs WEF Pitch Report

The pitch at Lord’s hasn’t been a happy hunting ground for the chasing team as London Spirits won their previous encounter at the surface after setting a target of 160 runs. The team winning the toss will likely bat first on the surface in hopes of stifling the flow of runs in the second innings when the pitch slows down a bit.

LNS vs WEF Probable, Match 24, Top Performers

Probable best batter of the match:

Eoin Morgan:

The former English skipper retired from international cricket earlier this year but has been in glorious touch with the bat. Eoin Morgan has registered 117 runs in five innings so far, striking the ball at an impressive 151.94. Although the southpaw is yet to register a half-century this term, he has played some eye-catching cameos providing the impetus to the side in the middle overs.

Probable best bowler of the match:

Jordan Thompson:

London Spirits’ campaign has built around some amazing teamwork with all the players contributing in some form to the team’s success, but Jordan Thomspon has been a cut above the rest with nine wickets to his name in this year’s tournament. The Yorkshire-born pacer is the joint top wicket-taker this year along with Sunil Narine.
