A sizeable (but not huge) Spirit win would be a welcome outcome here. Looks like Essex are on course for another monster win of their own.
That's an awful finish from Spirit. They were easily on course for 150 or more, but only one boundary in their final 33 balls! Yet again they've wasted JOverton.
No idea why win predictor only gave Oval a 5% chance a few mins ago. Huge amount of power and only two down.
Willey and Cook are decent new ball bowlers (very decent in Willey's case). But they're both awful after the new ball. It was brave from Oval to let the required rate get so high, but with wickets in hand, this is what can happen if you take advantage.
If Oval can do that again on Saturday, against the Superchargers, we might yet finish 2nd let alone 3rd. (But I'll happily take 3rd.) But very difficult to see anyone stopping Oval from winning the comp again.
