Men's Hundred 2024 

Match 22: OVI vs SOB

Preview 

Reigning champions Oval Invincibles (OVI) will lock horns with this season’s table toppers Southern Brave (SOB) in match 22 at the Kennington Oval, London on Thursday. With four wins out of five games, OVI is strongly positioned at second in the points table. The likes of Sam Curran and Will Jacks have married the idea of providing great starts to make sure they are well placed at the moment. 

Meanwhile, Southern Brave (SOB) has pretty much the same campaign. Strengthened by the performance of their bowlers, the James Vince-led side has done quite well in the ongoing edition of the tournament. Going into the business end of the tournament, both teams will be looking to finish at pole position.

Match Prediction

Expect an evenly matched contest between bat and ball. Both OVI and SOB possess batting firepower and quality options with ball in hand. In this season of Hundred, we’ve seen how important it is to have a potent bowling unit and purely in terms of bowling, we believe OVI has a slight edge.
