Oval Invincibles squad: A versatile batting lineup
A versatile batting lineup will be the biggest strength for Invincibles. The trio of Roy, Laurie Evans, and Will Jacks like to play against pace. All these batsmen strike above 145 against pace. Sam Curran, Billings, and Ingram are strong against spin. They have the ability to play big hits against spinners.
Team Analysis
In bowling, Saqib Mahmood will provide a high pace and swing with the new ball. Reece Topley with a high release and a left-arm angle is a very effective pick. Oval Invincibles have some strengths but they also come with some vulnerabilities. They lack a reliable finisher in the lower order.
Blake is an effective hitter but he hasn’t proved his worth outside T20 Blast. Collin Ingram is suited to play aggressively but he doesn’t have the ability to clear the fence from the first ball. Another weakness that might hamper them is the ineffectiveness of Sunil Narine. His action is consistently under the radar. Also nowadays Narine lacks accuracy. Once he was usually promoted in the batting order to play some big hits. But his batting skills have also faded.

Key Players
Jason Roy, Billings, Narine, Topley, and Lamicchane will play a pivotal role in the success of the squad. Sunil Narine and Sandeep Lamicchane make a deadly spin duo. Both can complement each other with a variety of spin. Narine is an economical bowler. Even when Narine is unable to take a wicket, he bowls a lot of dot balls. Lamicchane has an impressive bowling strike rate in T20’s. This duo will hunt in pairs and for sure will be effective.
Jason Roy and Reece Topley
Jason Roy is one of the explosive openers in T20 cricket. He can tear apart any bowling attack. The English batsman might give a quick start to the team. Sam Billings has the ability to play extraordinary drives. His batting style will suit the format.
Reece Topley, the English left-arm pacer is a key player for Oval Invincibles. His pace will trouble the opposition batsmen in England. With that pace, swing in England conditions would be a deadly combination. It will be difficult for batsmen to play the sort of angle Topley produces.
