Both sides have an equally strong line-up. But Sam Billings-led Oval Invincibles are a better side on paper and have already registered a win in the competition by beating the Manchester Originals in the first match. They have a better talent pool and hence are expected to make the final cut against London Spirit, who struggled in their first match against the Birmingham Phoenix.
The prominent betting sites are also predicting an Oval Invincibles win.

Players who are expected to perform well as per BPH vs LNS Dream11 Prediction.
Top Batsmen:
OVI
Jason Roy: The South African-born opener will be key to Oval’s chances in this match. He is an out-and-out entertainer and is expected to go berzerk in the Lord’s tonight.
LNS
Eoin Morgan: The London captain is their main batsman. He is right now out of form and will be looking to get back to form ahead of the T20 world cup to be held later this year.
Top Bowlers:
Tom Curran: He is an expert when it comes to mixing up the variations to strive in the shortest format of the game. His slow balls and cutters are bound to reward him with plenty of wickets in the death overs. He was MoM in the last match that OVI won.
Mohammad Amir: He is the star bowler for the visitors. In 196 T20s, the left-arm fast seamer has picked up 221 wickets at an economy rate of 7.15.
