The Hundred Men’s 2025: Predicting Oval Invincibles XI for match 5

Oval Invincibles will take on Manchester Originals in the fifth match of the ongoing The Hundred Men’s 2025 competition at the Oval on August 9.

Oval Invincibles won their first and the tournament’s match, defeating London Spirit at Lord’s by a six-wicket margin. This was a promising start for the Oval Invincibles, who won The Hundred competition last year and were the top team in the group rounds, winning six of eight games.

Here is the predicted Oval Invincibles XI for match 5 of The Hundred Men’s 2025:

Top Order: Will Jacks, Tawanda Muyeye, Jordan Cox

Will Jacks starred with 24 runs in the chase of 81, while Tawanda Muyeye contributed 18 runs as well in quick time. Jordan Cox did not do much, getting out for five runs, adding minutely to his 573 runs in the competition history. However, big things are expected from Cox, who has a strike rate of 143.60.

Middle Order: Sam Curran, Sam Billings (C/WK), Donovan Ferreira

Jordan Clark gave the initial jolts to Sprit, removing both openers, Keaton Jennings and David Warner, for five and nine, respectively. Nathan Sowter was called into attack pretty late and delivered only five balls, taking one wicket. Jason Behrendorff might retain his place thanks to his 1/17 in his full quota of 20 balls.
