Match Prediction

Both sides have competitive players who are hungry for winnings matches. Though OVI are ahead in the number of wins, the visitors have players who have rich form and are reliable. The Invincibles are a bit vincible when they are attacked in their batting department. Nevertheless, their home-ground advantage and their current form make them the favourites to win this match.
