Fantasy Teams Prediction
🏏 Match Details:
Match: Oval Invincibles vs Welsh FireTime: 16 Aug, 10:30 PM (IST) ⏰
Series: The Hundred Men's Competition 2025 🏆
Venue: Kennington Oval, London 🏟️
📌 Match Info:
- Oval Invincibles will aim to recover quickly after their recent setback against Birmingham Phoenix, which broke their winning streak. With two victories from three outings, they still look like serious contenders and will bank on their powerful batting lineup of Will Jacks, Jordan Cox, and Donovan Ferreira to provide early momentum. In the bowling department, Rashid Khan, Sam Curran, and Saqib Mahmood add firepower, offering both early breakthroughs and control in the death overs.
- Welsh Fire, meanwhile, enter this clash on a positive note after registering their first win of the season. The top-order influence of Jonny Bairstow, along with the steady presence of Luke Wells and skipper Tom Abell in the middle, will be crucial. Their pace attack, spearheaded by Riley Meredith and Josh Hull, gives them balance and variety. With both sides keen to rise in the standings, fans can expect an electrifying contest under the lights at The Oval.
- The surface is likely to assist batters, and with dew potentially impacting the second innings, chasing could prove to be the smarter option. Ultimately, the toss and flawless execution will play a decisive role in what promises to be an exciting battle.

🌤️ Weather Report:
- Current weather is scattered clouds. With 45% cloud cover, there may be slight assistance for swing bowlers, but batters can still play their strokes confidently. High humidity (85%) may help the ball grip and assist spinners later in the game, making it slightly tricky for batters to play big shots against spin.
🏟️ Pitch Analysis:
- The pitch at Kennington Oval for T100 matches is batting-friendly. The first-innings average score of 141 indicates a high-scoring surface. However, the second innings sees a decline in scoring, with an average of 135. Chasing becomes more difficult as the pitch slows down.
🚨 Team News:
🔵 Oval Invincible (OVI):
- Oval Invincibles will likely stick with their core squad, with minimal changes expected.
- Despite racking up a hefty 180-run total in their last outing, the Invincibles couldn’t seal the win, exposing vulnerabilities in their bowling attack.
- Strengthening the bowling unit will be a priority moving forward, especially in defending high scores.
- Gus Atkinson remains on the sidelines, and Nathan Sowter could be a tactical inclusion to bolster the spin department.
🔴 Welsh Fire (WEF):
- Riding high after their recent victory, Welsh Fire are likely to stick with their successful lineup.
- The batting core looks solid with Steven Smith’s composure, Jonny Bairstow’s aggression, and the support of Luke Wells and Tom Abell.
- Pace will be key in the bowling department, with Josh Hull’s bounce, Riley Meredith’s speed, and David Payne’s left-arm angle expected to lead the charge.
- Momentum is on their side, and they’ll aim to build on that with a balanced mix of experience and firepower.
🏅 Winning Chances:
We predict that Oval Invincibles will win this Hundred Men's match. The likes of Will Jacks, Sam Curran, and Rashid Khan will be key players to watch out for.
🌟 Key Players:
🔵 Oval Invincibles (OVI)
⚡ Will Jacks
Despite a quiet outing in the last match, Will Jacks remains a strong contender to deliver big. With 85 runs to his name, he is currently the leading run-scorer for Oval Invincibles this season. His aggressive stroke play and ability to anchor the innings make him our top batting pick for the upcoming clash.
🔥 Rashid Khan
Rashid Khan has been a match-winner with the ball this season. Although he had a rare off day against Birmingham Phoenix, conceding 59 runs, his wicket-taking ability and experience make him the leading wicket-taker for his side.
⚡ Sam Curran
The left-arm pace-bowling all-rounder has been in terrific form, picking up six wickets in just three innings. Curran can swing the new ball and deliver effective variations in the death overs, making him a major threat.
🔵 Welsh Fire (WEF)
⚡ Jonny Bairstow
Jonny Bairstow may have fallen for a duck in his previous outing, but his form this season speaks for itself. With 128 runs, he is Welsh Fire’s leading run-getter and has been a key force at the top of the order. Expect him to bounce back in style, making him our prime batting choice for this.

Riley Meredith has been one of Welsh Fire’s most reliable performers, consistently delivering breakthroughs. With seven wickets so far, he tops their bowling charts and remains our best bet to trouble the Oval Invincibles’ batting lineup..
⚡ Steve Smith
