Pitch Report
Headingley has leaned slightly towards the team bowling first, winning 57 percent of matches here across 21 games, against 43 percent for the team batting first. Scores tend to be high, with an average first innings score of 159 and second innings of 150. The highest total chased here is 186, so big totals aren’t always safe. Pace bowlers have taken most of the wickets recently, around 69 percent over the last 10 matches.
Weather Report
Tuesday evening in Leeds should stay mild, with temperatures around 25°C (77°F) and only around a 25 percent chance of rain. A full match looks likely, though it’s worth keeping an eye on the forecast.
Probable Playing XIs
Sunrisers Leeds (Probable): Mitchell Marsh, Ryan Rickelton (wk), Zak Crawley (c), Harry Brook, Dan Lawrence, Tom Alsop, Liam Patterson-White, Brydon Carse, Matthew Potts, Nathan Ellis, Abrar Ahmed.
London Spirit (Probable): Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Jonny Bairstow (wk), Liam Livingstone (c), James Rew, Dewald Brevis, James Coles, Jamie Overton, David Willey, Andrew Tye, Adam Milne, Adam Zampa.
These are the likely lineups. Both are confirmed at the toss.
Key Player Battles
Harry Brook vs Jamie Overton: Brook is one of the best batters in this format right now, and Overton’s pace and bounce is the kind of test that can trouble anyone early on.
Zak Crawley vs Jonny Bairstow: Two captains and openers going head to head at the top of their respective innings. Whoever gets their side off to a faster start gives their team the edge.
Mitchell Marsh vs David Willey: Marsh hits the ball hard and clean, and Willey’s left arm swing with the new ball is a real threat to any top order.
Wicket-Keepers: Jonny Bairstow
Batters: Zak Crawley (C), Harry Brook, Dewald Brevis
All-Rounders: Liam Livingstone (VC), Mitchell Marsh, David Willey, Jamie Overton
Bowlers: Nathan Ellis, Abrar Ahmed, Matthew Potts
Crawley is captain because he’s the leading run scorer on either side this season and opens the batting. Livingstone is vice captain as an all rounder who can win a game with bat or ball. The rest of the team mixes both top orders with the main bowlers, since the pitch has favoured pace.

Wicket-Keepers: Jonny Bairstow
Batters: Zak Crawley, Harry Brook, Dewald Brevis
All-Rounders: Mitchell Marsh (C), Jamie Overton (VC), Liam Livingstone
Bowlers: Abrar Ahmed, Tom Lawes, Brydon Carse, Adam Zampa
For grand leagues, try Marsh as captain. He bats and bowls, and won’t be picked as much as Crawley or Brook. Overton as vice captain has taken the most wickets for London Spirit this season. Tom Lawes and Adam Zampa are cheap bowling picks who could still take wickets.

Match Prediction
Sunrisers Leeds have the better recent form and the head to head edge, but they’ll be disappointed after losing a close one to Trent Rockets last time out. London Spirit need this game badly and have enough power in Bairstow and Brevis to cause problems, but their season has been inconsistent so far. Sunrisers Leeds are the pick, though a full strength London Spirit batting effort could easily turn this around.
