Toss pick: Sunrisers Leeds Women

The Hundred Women’s 2026Headingley

Sunrisers Leeds Women host London Spirit Women at Headingley in the 20th match of The Hundred Women’s 2026. Both teams need results to stay in the playoff race.

Sunrisers have won only one of their first four games, a seven-wicket victory over MI London. They have since lost to Southern Brave, Manchester Super Giants and, most recently, Trent Rockets by five runs. In that last match they chased 140 and finished on 134/5, with Annabel Sutherland unbeaten on 59 from 30 balls. She has 146 runs at an average of 73.00, while Phoebe Litchfield has 106. Hannah Baker has five wickets and Cassidy McCarthy four.

London Spirit have a win, two defeats and a tie from four, six points and a net run rate of -0.833. They lost by five wickets to Southern Brave last time after scoring 114/8, with Nadine de Klerk making 38 and Marizanne Kapp 34. De Klerk has 102 runs and Marie Kelly 85, while Kapp has nine wickets at 7.77 and Charlie Dean three.

Headingley should offer a fair contest, with early movement and then better batting conditions. The side who uses the powerplay best and keeps wickets for the final 25 balls will likely win. We lean towards London Spirit Women.

Pitch report

Headingley is expected to give a balanced contest. Quicker bowlers can find early swing and seam, especially under cloud, but the surface generally becomes easier for stroke-play once the initial movement fades. A quick outfield and relatively short square boundaries help scoring, and spinners can still contribute in the middle overs by varying pace. In T20 cricket 155–175 is usually competitive, though the forecast range for this women’s game is lower at 120–135.

Weather

Tuesday afternoon should be pleasant in Leeds, around 24–25°C with partly cloudy skies and sunny intervals. A few earlier showers are possible, but conditions are expected to improve by match time, so interruptions are unlikely. Dew is not expected to play a part.
