How would you rate the performance of London Spirit in their opening match?
However, the fairytale reunion didn’t translate into success for London Spirit on the night. Defending champions Oval Invincibles outclassed the Spirit, bundling them out for a paltry 80 in 94 balls, with Rashid Khan (3/11) and Sam Curran (3/18) leading the charge. The Invincibles chased down the target in just 69 balls, winning by six wickets.Post-match, Rashid reflected on his performance and preparations: “It was nice to get off to a winning start… There was spin on offer. I mixed things up and it worked well.”
