SOB vs OVI Dream11 Prediction Men’s Hundred 2025, Match 19, Team News, Pitch Report, Squad, Fantasy Teams

The Southern Brave are desperate to return to winning ways after losing their last two encounters. Playing at home, i.e., the Rose Bowl in Southampton, the Brave are all set to host the reigning champions and current table toppers Oval Invincibles in match 19 of the Men’s Hundred 2025.

The Southern Brave had a terrific start to their season campaign with two back-to-back wins. However, they have seemingly lost momentum after succumbing to two defeats on the trot at the hands of Northern Superchargers and Trent Rockets by 3 and 4 wickets, respectively. After two defeats in succession, the Brave have slipped down to the fourth spot and are looking to redeem themselves on the points table.

Meanwhile, the current table toppers and reigning champions, Oval Invincibles, have been astonishing so far. Having won 3 out of 4 games, the team has ticked all the boxes and have been doing all things right. Another win here will propel their confidence and take them one step closer to secure a place among the top 3.

Let’s delve deeper into this post for the SOB vs OVI Dream11 prediction.

SOB vs OVI, Match 19, The Hundred 2025, The Rose Bowl, Southampton, Pitch Report

The Rose Bowl has proven to be a bowler-friendly venue this season, especially for seamers who can exploit early movement and bounce. The average first-innings score has hovered around 123, indicating that batters have found it tough to settle in and accelerate. Fast bowlers have dominated, particularly in the powerplay, with variations and hard lengths proving effective throughout the innings. Spinners may find some grip in the middle overs, but the surface generally favors pace. With both matches at this venue won by chasing sides, captains are likely to opt for bowling first. Expect a low-to-mid scoring contest unless the top order finds rhythm early.
