ML vs MO Points Table Snapshot

• MI London: 4 matches, 2 wins, 2 losses, 8 points — 4th place
• Manchester Super Giants: 4 matches, 2 wins, 2 losses, 8 points — dropped from top spot after their last defeat

MI London beat Sunrisers Leeds in their opener, before losing to Welsh Fire, beating Southern Brave, and then losing to London Spirit in their most recent outing. Manchester Super Giants started with back-to-back wins over London Spirit and Birmingham Phoenix to sit top of the table, but were beaten by six wickets by Trent Rockets in their last match, a result that cost them the summit despite an outstanding individual innings from Jos Buttler, who struck his third consecutive half-century of the season in that defeat.

The Story Behind This Match: Two Franchises, Very Different Histories

MI London — formerly the Oval Invincibles — are the most successful franchise in Hundred history, having won the last three men’s editions in a row and combined with two women’s titles to account for half of every Hundred season ever played. The franchise is now majority-owned by Surrey County Cricket Club alongside Reliance Industries, the owners of the Mumbai Indians franchise group, with Sam Curran leading the side into a new ownership era. Manchester Super Giants, by contrast, are still finding their identity following their own rebrand from Manchester Originals under South African white-ball captain Aiden Markram, and a strong start to the season has just hit its first real bump.

ML vs MO Pitch Report

The pitch at the Kennington Oval tends to offer uneven bounce and seam movement for the first few overs before flattening out through the middle, becoming a genuinely good batting surface where boundaries come easily. The average first-innings total at this venue sits in the 165-175 range, making it one of the higher-scoring venues on the circuit once batters get set.

ML vs MO Probable Playing XI

MI London (Probable XI): Jason Roy, Will Jacks, Ollie Pope, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Sam Curran (c), Sherfane Rutherford, Tom Curran, Rashid Khan, Trent Boult, Richard Gleeson, Callum Parkinson

Manchester Super Giants (Probable XI): Tim Seifert, Aiden Markram (c), Jos Buttler (wk), Heinrich Klaasen, Leus du Plooy, Liam Dawson, Tom Moores, Gus Atkinson, Noor Ahmad, Josh Tongue, Sonny Baker

Probable XIs are based on recent squad selections and may change ahead of the toss.

ML vs MO Players to Watch

Best Batting Picks: Jos Buttler is the standout name on either side right now, having posted three consecutive half-centuries this season even in a losing effort last time out, while Sam Curran and Jason Roy give MI London genuine firepower at the top of the order.

Best Bowling Picks: Rashid Khan and Trent Boult offer MI London a dangerous new-ball-to-death combination, while Gus Atkinson and Josh Tongue have both chipped in with important wickets for Manchester Super Giants this season.

ML vs MO Dream11 Team: Suggested Composition

• All-Rounders: Sam Curran (ML), Liam Dawson (MO), Sherfane Rutherford (ML)
• Bowlers: Rashid Khan (ML), Trent Boult (ML), Gus Atkinson (MO), Josh Tongue (MO)
