Northants won by 102 runs (DLS) the last time and only time these sides met in a T20 Blast fixture. That was back in August 2013 with the Steelbacks lifting the trophy at Edgbaston!

David Willey was the star for Northants Steelbacks that day and he is likely to play a key role with both bat and ball as they go up against the all-conquering Surrey team in this quarter-final. Both teams are one victory away from booking their place at Final's Day a week on Saturday, and this game could come down to which side deals best with that pressure.

Surrey to win

We predict that Surrey will win this T20 Blast 2025 match. Chris Jordan, Sam Curran and Reece Topley will be key players to watch out for.

The Oval Invincibles have dominated this tournament after claiming top spot in the group stage with six wins from eight contests to book their place in the final. 

The Rockets have been one of the most dependable teams this season, taking six wins in eight outings to grab second place and seal their playoff position. Their Eliminator, against Northern Superchargers, was washed out due to rain, and the Rockets made it to the finals as they finished above the Superchargers on the points table, who were at number three.

OVI vs LNS Today Match Prediction, Who Will Win the Match?

Oval Invincible To win

We predict that Oval Invincible will win this Hundred Men's match. Will Jacks, Jordan Cox and Sam Curran will be key players to watch out for.

Northern Superchargers beat Oval Invincibles by 16 runs in an exciting game at Headingley. Sam Billings chose to bowl first, but Harry Brook’s side made the most of the batting track. Zak Crawley (49 off 25) and Dawid Malan (34 off 21) gave a flying start. Captain Harry Brook then played a brilliant knock of 56 from 27 balls, while David Miller finished strong with an unbeaten 37 off just 16. Their efforts took the Superchargers to a big total of 198/4.

The Invincibles lost their top order early, but Sam Curran (30 off 19) tried to steady things. Donovan Ferreira gave hope with a quick 41 off only 15 balls, hitting big sixes, but the chase ended at 182/7. The Superchargers sealed the win, ending the Invincibles’ winning streak.

The Oval Invincibles are showing once again why they are the most formidable side in The Hundred, and Thursday night’s performance against the Trent Rockets only reinforced that claim. Chasing 172 at The Oval, they chased the target down within just 89 balls, leaving their competitors dazed and all but wrapped up a knockout spot. With only one more win needed from two group games, the Invincibles are sailing to a direct place in the final at Lord’s next Sunday – and a chance at a third title in succession.

Two amazing innings defined the game. Sam Curran smashed a phenomenal 52 off 24 balls, including six sixes from just eight balls, while Jordan Cox settled the chase with a stylish but destructive knock of 58 not out off 32. At one point, the Invincibles needed 102 from 40 balls but only needed 29 to chase down their target. Curran, also slow to start with just 7 from 12 balls, went into overdrive and, after his innings, declared he had “six or out”. After a quiet beginning of the innings, his excellence lit up The Oval with cavalier hitting.

Consistency and smart planning keep Oval Invincibles winning

Even after Curran went, Cox took no time wasting. For a short while, Cox was paired with Donovan Ferreira, who cleared the ropes twice in as many balls, until Cox brought the game to a close by hitting back-to-back boundaries, which saw the home support all roar, once again. That was a huge statement win. It even had Joe Root, who scored 76 off 41 for the Rockets, admit that the Invincibles “were the better team,”. So how do the Invincibles keep on winning? It comes down to continuity and planning. For many franchises, they had a core group of players from the inception of the competition. Will Jacks, Sam and Tom Curran, Sam Billings, and Cox have provided continuity, while clever overseas signings such as Rashid Khan and Jason Behrendorff have slotted in without hesitation. 

Their record does the talking: in three seasons they have 19 wins exit and of course, only 4 losses. In a league that has been designed for parity, this is a truly astonishing feat for the Invincibles, who manage to constantly be ahead in any criteria other than talent. That is to say, figuring out roles within the style of play, clarifying roles, and trusting the vision that has been developed. But the Invincibles are also clear about not getting carried away with the “three-peat” talk. Curran has said they are taking it “one game at a time” and understands how dangerous complacency can be. But the start of the question still remains across The Hundred

Oval Invincible showcased excellent form in this tournament, winning five out of their six matches and leading the table with 20 points. Looking at current form, the Invincibles have to be the favourites for this one.

On the other hand, Northern Superchargers had a strong run in this tournament, winning four matches and currently hold the third position in the points table with 16 points. Their last outing saw them crush London Spirit by eight wickets, chasing down the target of 136 in only 82 balls.

NOS vs OVI Today Match Prediction, Who Will Win the Match?

Oval Invincible To win

We predict that Oval Invincible will win this Hundred Men's match. Sam Curran, Jordan Cox and Rashid Khan will be key players to watch out for.

The 23rd game of The Hundred 2025 was played at Kennington Oval, where Oval Invincibles defeated Trent Rockets in a lively match. Captain Sam Billings won the toss for Oval and chose to bowl first. Both teams made one change – Saqib Mahmood came in for Jordan Clark, while Ben Sanderson replaced Lockie Ferguson.

Trent Rockets scored 171/7 in their 100 balls. Joe Root was the standout with a superb 76 from 41 balls, hitting 11 fours and a six. Rehan Ahmed made 28, and George Linde finished strongly with 25 off just 8 balls to give the innings late firepower.

In reply, Oval Invincibles chased the target calmly. Jordan Cox smashed 54 from only 24 balls, hitting two fours and six sixes. Tawanda Muyeye scored 20, and Donovan Ferreira hit the winning boundary. Oval finished at 172/4 with 11 balls left to win by six wickets.

The Hundred 2025 match no 19 between Southern Brave and Oval Invincibles was played at the Rose Bowl in Southampton. Southern Brave captain James Vince won the toss and chose to bowl first, but his team had a tough day with the bat. They lost early wickets and were reduced to 44/6 inside the first 40 balls. None of the top-order batters could stay long at the crease, except Leus de Plooy, who made a quick 13.

Hilton Cartwright played the best knock for Brave, scoring 42 runs from 30 balls with four fours and a six. Jordan Thompson added 24 runs in 13 balls to help the team reach 133 from their 100 balls. For Oval, Sam Curran and Rashid Khan bowled brilliantly and took three wickets each.

Chasing 134, Oval also had an early setback, losing both openers in the powerplay. But Jordan Cox and Sam Curran took control with a solid 101-run stand. Cox made 56 off 37 balls, while Curran stayed not out on 50 from 32 balls. They guided Oval to victory by seven wickets with 11 balls still left, keeping their strong form going in the tournament.

Absolutely ravishing! Sam Curran caught an outstanding catch. He caught a catch on his own bowling and suddenly shifted the complexion of the match. In match 126 of T20 Blast, the England all-rounder left everyone's jaw dropping. He delivered and took a catch himself, one-handed—the whole process happened so flawlessly that the unusual event seemed well rehearsed. 

It was Sussex County Cricket Club vs. Surrey County Cricket Club. In their 20-over limit, Surrey posted 204 runs, batting first. The total was sufficient to throw a tough challenge against any opponent, but Sussex batters were in no mood to surrender. With their opener Daniel Hughes, they started to bat fearlessly, though they tried to remain risk-free as much as possible. But chasing a mammoth total has never been an easy task for any team on the planet. 

James Coles was batting vigorously until Sam Curran's 4th delivery of the 19th over of the second innings, while the second batting team poised the game nicely through their hard-hitting game strategy. But chasing a target in the second innings is never an easy go for the team chasing. Coles was in a hurry scoring runs. Whenever he saw a delivery within his territory, he tried to swing the blade. The right-handed batter did the same when Curran delivered one of the luring balls of the match.

The moment of the match shifted 

It was a full toss, guided towards the middle stump. Driven by his natural instinct, Coles hit the ball hard. The ball was about to go straight through like an arrow when Curran, the skipper of Surrey, extended his left arm on the path of the ball. The connection between the ball and the bat was not inch-perfect; speed was not top-mark. Curran extended his hand at the right time, and the ball went into his grip smoothly. 

Coles departed after scoring 39 off 18. After his dismissal, with a limited number of deliveries before the conclusion of the game, no other Sussex batter came up. Surrey won the match by 7 runs.

The nonchalance from Sam Curran! 😮‍💨🤌

— Surrey Cricket (@surreycricket) July 18, 2025

The IPL 2025 season proved to be a forgettable one for Chennai Super Kings, with the five-time title winners finishing bottom of the table. CSK managed only 4 victories in 14 games and did not make it to the playoffs, showing neither consistency nor fire across departments. The franchise also failed to find the right combination under a new leadership era after MS Dhoni.

Though some young players and old-timers gave glimpses of promise, some members of the squad were woefully short. In the build-up to the IPL 2026 auction, a drastic overhaul is on the cards, and the following six players are expected to be released:

1. Rachin Ravindra

New Zealand all-rounder Rachin Ravindra played 8 games, making 191 runs at an average of 27.29 and a strike rate of 128.19 with two half-centuries. He lacked consistency, though, and more often than not failed to make an impression from his starts. His left-arm spin was not properly utilized, having very little effect. With CSK looking for a more attacking and multi-faceted top-order player, Ravindra will probably be let go.

2. Sam Curran

Sam Curran featured in 5 matches, scoring 114 runs with an average of 22.80 and a strike rate of 135.71. With the ball, he scalped 5 wickets but conceded runs in plenty, ending with an economy of 11.08. He was bought by CSK in the IPL 2025 auction for INR 2.40 Cr. Even though he has had past CSK experiences, he did not contribute much in either form in 2025. As his price is high and he didn't yield much return, CSK might unload him to accommodate more effective overseas players.

3. Vijay Shankar

Vijay Shankar scored 118 runs from 5 games at an average of 39.33 and a strike rate of 129.67, including one half-century. He was acquired by CSK for ₹1.2 crore at the IPL 2025 auction. But his contribution did not have any match-winning value, and he wasn't given a chance to bowl. His existence as a reserve Indian all-rounder is redundant in CSK's new team dynamic. With younger options present, his chances of being retained are less.

4. Deepak Hooda

Deepak Hooda's season was not good, with just 31 runs in 6 games at a woeful average of 6.20 and a strike rate of 75.61. He was acquired by CSK at the 2025 IPL Auction for INR 1.7 crore. Despite being experimented with in the middle order, he couldn't push the game along or steady the ship in crisis situations. He did not get a bowl and exerted no impact in any match. With his form not being good and no single good performance, he is sure to be released.

5.  Jamie Overton

Jamie Overton was signed by CSK during the IPL 2025 auction. jamie Overton played only 2 matches in IPL 2025, conceding runs at a very high economy rate of 13.83 with the bat scoring 15 at a strike rate of 214.29. He was picked as a pace-bowling all-rounder but never earned the trust of the management for his services in the big matches. With so little contribution and overseas spots being precious, Overton is expected to be one of the first few to be let go of releases.

6. Rahul Tripathi

Rahul Tripathi was acquired by CSK for INR 3.40 crore at the 2025 IPL Auction. He played 5 games and managed just 55 runs at an average of 11.00 and a strike rate of 96.49. As brought in for adding depth to the top order, he could not get into rhythm or contribute at all. His failure put more pressure on a batting lineup already fragile. With form and confidence being lacking, his retention also looks extremely unlikely.
