London Spirit have won the toss and have opted to field

17:30 Local Time, 16:30 GMT, 22:00 IST: The Hundred is moving at a fast pace as we approach the business end of the tournament. Two teams perched at the bottom of the table, London Spirit and Manchester Original, will square off against each other at Lord’s today. It’s a must-win encounter for Spirit as a loss will probably knock them out of the tournament. Their batters have blown hot and cold this season and must pull their act together. On the other hand, the Original have lost all their games so far. Nothing has clicked for them. They messed up a couple of run-chases while they were beaten comprehensively in the other three games. They will be playing for pride, which can help them play with freedom and flair. Will Original dent the playoffs hope of Spirit? Or will Spirit put in a complete performance to stay in the hunt? Stick around for the toss and team lineups…
