The Hundred Women 2025 gets its first double-header today at the Oval, with both the Oval Invincibles and Manchester Originals desperate for their first win after opening-day losses.

The Invincibles, led by Lauren Winfield-Hill, saw a brilliant knock from Meg Lanning, who scored 85, but their bowlers struggled, giving up 176 runs. Key bowlers like Marizanne Kapp and Tash Farrant will need to be tighter to secure a win at home.

Meanwhile, the Manchester Originals had a dismal start, collapsing for just 95 runs. Captain Beth Mooney fell for 1, and only Seren Smale offered resistance with 40 not out. Their bowling, spearheaded by star spinner Sophie Ecclestone, showed some promise but will need the batters to step up and give them a target to defend.

The Oval Pitch Report

The Oval pitch is known for being a good surface for batting in shorter formats. While pacers might get some early assistance with the new ball, the pitch generally settles, allowing batters to play their shots freely. An average first-innings score of around 160 in The Hundred suggests that setting a good total is achievable, but the ground also has a history of successful run-chases. Teams winning the toss will likely choose to bowl first to take advantage of the conditions and chase under the lights.
