The iconic Lord's cricket stadium in central London has hosted 18 matches in the Men's Hundred with the team batting first winning 10 encounters. The team chasing has won 6 while two matches have been called off due to rain. Interestingly, the captain who has won the toss has still preferred to bat second on as many as 12 occasions. The team which has won the toss has been victorious in 7 out of the 16-result matches for a win probability of 43.75%.
The average team total batting first at Lord's is 144 while the average score chasing is 130. Spinners have outshone the fast bowlers at Lord's - they have a better average, economy and strike rate at the venue.
MATCH PREDICTION
London Spirit start slight favourites as they will be playing at home and have a stronger batting unit. They have a 60% chance of winning the match.
FANTASY XI
Our Fantasy XI includes Hetmyer and Madsen as batters, Hurst and Salt as the wicket-keeper batters and Raza, Dawson, Hartley and Russell as the all-rounders.
