The finals of The Hundred take place at Lords in London on Sunday the 18th of August and we offer some betting options in both games.
WOMEN
Welsh Fire v London Spirit
Welsh Fire were given an automatic pass to the final when they topped the log ahead of the Oval Invincibles on net run rate. They won 5 matches, lost 2 and had 1 no result.
London Spirit finished 3rd on the log but beat the 2nd placed Oval Invincibles in the Eliminator on Saturday.
Spirit won the toss and chose to field and they restricted their opponents to 113/9 off their 100 balls. Charlie Dean was the pick of the bowlers with 3/24 off her 20 balls.
They chased the runs down with 9 balls to spare and 2 wickets down. Georgia Redmayne scored an unbeaten 53 off 47 balls.
Betting
Welsh Fire 10/11
London Spirit 19/20
When these sides met at Lords in the Group Stages Welsh Fire chased down a massive 151 to win with 5 balls to spare and I think that being the fresher team will be an advantage and that they will win this.
Selection: Welsh Fire Win at 10/11
Hayley Matthews scored 78* off 46 balls in the Group Match and I am backing her to be the Welsh Fires top bat.
Selection: Matthews top Welsh Fire bat at 2/1

MEN
Oval Invincibles v Southern Brave
The Oval Invincibles topped the log ahead of Birmingham Phoenix on run rate. They won 6 and lost 2 of their matches.
The Southern Brave fought back from near extermination in their Eliminator against Birmingham Phoenix.
The Brave lost the toss and were sent into bat scoring 126/6 with James Vince getting 43 off 45 balls. They were in all sorts of trouble with Livingstone flying and hitting the 1st of the last 5 balls from Hosein for 6. It was also a no ball but from there Hosein bowled superbly to force the Super Five. Mills was the top bowler with 3 for 23 off 20 balls.
Phoenix batted 1st in the Super Five and could only reach 7/2 and the Braces knocked it off with a ball to spare.
Betting
Oval Invincibles 10/11
Southern Brave 19/20
In the group stages the Invincibles won by 6 wickets chasing down 119 for victory and using similar logic to the Women’s selection I am backing the fresher team to prevail.
Selection: Oval Invincibles win at 10/11
I was impressed with Archer especially in the Super Five and he gets the nod to be the top Brave bowler in the final.
Selection: Archer Top Brave Bowler at 9/4
