Southern Brave Vs London Spirit Prediction: The Southern Brave will take on the London Spirit in the opening match of The Hundred 2024 season
Brave Vs London The Hundred Match 2 Preview
The second match of the 2024 season of (Men’s) the Hundred will see the Southern Brave take on the London Spirit.
The Southern Brave were the inaugural champions of The Hundred back in 2021. However, this side has also seen more recent success, with the women’s team taking home the title in 2023. In the men’s competition last season, the Brave finished third and thus made it to the playoff, where they lost to the Manchester Originals for a place in the final.
As for the London Spirit, they are yet to win The Hundred in men’s or women’s format. Their last season didn’t go too well, as they finished seventh with only two victories in eight games. This time, they will look to at least repeat their feat from the 2022 season and make it to the playoffs for only the second time in their history

SB Vs LS The Hundred Match 2 Pitch Report
This pitch provides a fine competition between bat and bowl. A bit on the slower side, the ball does stick to the wicket in the early proceedings, with it flattening as the match goes in the first inning.
However, as the match goes on, the pitch becomes easier for spinners to generate some turn, making chasing targets here a difficult prospect. The sides batting first can score big and score the opposition out of the game

Southern Brave Vs London Spirit Prediction
Both of these teams have seen a lot of personnel changes as compared to last season, with the Spirit even having a new captain in Dan Lawrence after Eoin Morgan’s retirement. So a lot of their form from last season will not be a major factor.
On a pitch with a good contest between ball and bat, the quality of a team’s bowling attack becomes very important, where the Southern Brave stand out. London also has a batting order more suited and experienced on English pitches, making them the slight favourites to win this game.
