London Spirit welcome Southern Brave to Lord’s for the 16th match of The Hundred Men’s Competition 2026 on Saturday 1 August. The match starts at 6:00 pm local time.
Spirit are captained by Liam Livingstone and have plenty of firepower in Lhuan-dre Pretorius, wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow, James Rew, Dewald Brevis and James Coles. Jamie Overton and David Willey add all-round options, and Andrew Tye, Adam Milne and Adam Zampa lead the bowling. Kiran Carlson, Tymal Mills and Matthew Fisher are in the wider squad.
Southern Brave, captained by Chris Jordan, rely on Jamie Smith and Ben McKinney at the top, with Marcus Stoinis, David Miller and Tristan Stubbs in the middle order and Nikhil Chaudhary and Saif Zaib providing late hitting. The attack is built around Jofra Archer, Luke Wood and Adil Rashid.
Early swing is possible on a pitch with good bounce, and bowlers will need to be accurate on the quick outfield. We give London Spirit a small advantage, though a total above 155 should be defensible.
