An exhilarating London derby is on the cards for Match 23 of The Hundred Women’s 2026 as London Spirit Women prepare to host MI London Women at Lord’s. Each side heads into this encounter in urgent pursuit of a winning rhythm. London Spirit Women are currently languishing near the base of the standings, having secured just one win out of their five fixtures, leaning immensely on the explosive batting of Grace Harris and the superb all-round skills of Marizanne Kapp.
On the other hand, MI London Women—previously known as the Oval Invincibles—find themselves rooted to the bottom of the tournament table. Even with impressive displays from key international players such as Hayley Matthews and Amelia Kerr, they have found it difficult to cross the line in close encounters, which includes a thrilling tie with London Spirit earlier in the season. As the race for the playoffs intensifies, a commanding win is vital for both franchises.

Lord’s Cricket Ground Pitch Conditions
The legendary surface at Lord’s typically offers an even battle between batsmen and bowlers in limited-overs cricket. Fast bowlers are likely to find early help, getting some movement off the seam and additional bounce, meaning top-order batters must play cautiously during the opening overs. Once the initial overs pass, the wicket flattens out into a reliable batting deck, enabling set players to play their shots with confidence. Slow bowlers operating during the middle overs should get some purchase and turn, particularly if the sun dries out the deck. The team winning the toss will likely choose to bowl first to exploit any initial dampness before pursuing a target under more settled conditions.
