Oval Invincibles will be up against Trent Rockets in their last league stage match of The Hundred Women’s competition. The hosts are at number 5 with 5 points from 7 matches while the Rockets are just one place ahead with 7 points from 7 games.
A win here is a must for both teams. Oval Invincibles would still be dependent on the results of other games to reach the playoffs even if they win here. However, Trent Rockets can secure the playoff berth with a win in this game.
Marizanne Kapp has been a key player in the middle order for the home team and her performance would pretty much decide where they stand in this contest. Skipper Suzie Bates and Paige Scholfield are other key players the home team is relying on to get them to a competitive score.
The visitors have an in-form top order with the openers delivering a good partnership consistently. They will be confident coming here after winning their last two consecutive matches.

The hosts have won only 1 of their 3 matches at this venue in London. It doesn’t seem like they’ve ever enjoyed any home advantage but would surely look to make the most of the from the home crowd in their last game of the season.
A win here would keep them alive in the competition. The batting lineup looks very promising and it is surprising that the Invincibles Women have won 2 of their 7 matches and lost 4.
In their last match at the home venue, the bowlers restricted London Spirit to just 118-9 bowling first. Kapp, Macdonald Gay, Sophia Smale, and Mady Villiers all picked 2 wickets each to put the hosts in a strong position.
However, in response to that total, Oval Invincibles were bowled out for just 97 runs. They bounced back quickly in the next game and posted 130 runs for 6 wickets batting first at The Rose Bowl.
But this time around, the bowlers failed to put any pressure on the opposition, and Oval Invincibles Women suffered a 7-wicket loss.
Their last win came at Edgbaston defending a 142-run total where Winfield-Hill and Marizanne Kapp were stars with the bat. Their key batters are in good touch and can once again lead them to a decent score.
It is the bowlers who need to find their rhythm and there is great variety in the attack that will allow the skipper options to rotate her bowlers as needed.

Trent Rockets Women are on a winning run with back-to-back wins. They’ve won 3 of their last 4 matches and if they secure a win in this game, they will be through to the playoffs.
Skipper Sciver-Brunt will be happy with the result of the last game but would surely expect a better overall performance in this match. The opposition was very close to victory as the Rockets defended the 134-run target at Trent Bridge.
The bowlers are struggling to find wickets consistently. Alana King and Kirstie Gordon picked a wicket each in the last game and were the only wicket-takers.
Playing against Welsh Fire in Cardiff, Trent Rockets Women picked just 3 wickets bowling first and it was again the duo of King and Gordon.
Others like Bryone Smith, Alexa Stonehourse, and skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt also need to step up and deliver breakthroughs if the Rockets are to dominate the hosts in this match.
With the bat, Harmanpreet Kaur at number 4 has been disappointing, to say the least. Lizelle Lee and Bryone Smith at the top are leading the run-charts for the Rockets and Nat Sciver-Brunt is also a crucial figure at number 3.
While Fran Wilson is also handy at number 5, most of the run-scoring in the Trent Rockets’ lineup comes from the top 3.

The pitch is great for batting and offers even bounce and carry allowing the batters to time their strokes to perfection with ease. However, the recent games in The Hundred Women’s competition saw batters struggle to get going. It seems like the bowlers will find some help from the surface and batting could get a bit tricky. The weather will be mostly sunny with a high of 26 degrees Celsius.

Kennington Oval in London will host the last home game for the Oval Invincibles Women as they face Trent Rockets in a must-win game. While the average 1st innings score here in T20s has been 165, the recent Hundred Women’s games saw pretty low scores. And we reckon a 130+ total batting first will be a match-winning score.
The hosts are inconsistent with the bat while the visitors are struggling with the ball. Bowling first would result in conceding too many runs for the visitors while the hosts would find it difficult to chase down a total given their dependence on a select few batters. As such, batting first will be the preferred choice.
Oval Invincibles Women have a promising bowling attack and will be backing themselves to repeat their bowling performance from their last home game. However, their batting lineup is a bit vulnerable and if skipper Bates and Marizanne Kapp fail to get going, the hosts would be in all sorts of trouble. The visiting team also has its own issues as they struggle to find wickets but they’ve got the winning momentum and their top-order has been in great form.
As a result, Trent Rockets will start with a slight edge in this match and are our favorites to win.
