The London Spirit take on the Southern Brave in the 2026 Women’s Hundred at Lord’s Cricket Ground on Saturday, August 1. The Spirit come into this clash after having played out a thrilling tie against MI London in the London Derby at the Oval. They levelled a score of 151 after brilliant batting performances from the top order.
The Spirit have started the season slow, having played three matches of which they have won and lost one match apiece. They will be up against the tournament’s form team in the Brave, and will hope their home advantage proves crucial against their opposition.
Here is the London Spirit’s predicted XI against Southern Brave:
Australian big-hitting all-rounder Grace Harris scored a quickfire 37 off 20 balls against the Trent Roickets in the Spirit’s first win of the season. A feared hitter, Harris will be required to provide the side with blistering starts. Partnering Harris up top is England’s wicketkeeper-batter Amy Jones, who scored a stellar 49 against MI London. The experienced Marie Kelly finished as Player of the Match for her brilliant 45 off 28 balls in the London derby, keeping the team in the hunt till the end.
In Marizanne Kapp, Nadine de Klerk and Deandra Dottin, the Spirit have a fully-overseas middle order who are capable of completely turning the game on its head with bat and ball. De Klekrk, who is a powerful finisher, secured the player of the match award against the Rockets for her unbeaten 22-ball 41 in the back end of the innings. Kapp has been the leading wicket-taker for the Spirit with seven scalps in three games, while Dottin’s reputation as a reliable finisher and power hitter makes her a reliable player in all situations. Dutch all-rounder Stere Kallis adds more depth with both bat and ball.
The Spirit possess a reliable bowling attack filled with domestic names. Skipper Charlie Dean and left-arm spinner Charis Pavely form the reliable spin duo for the side while seamers Katie George and Trudy Johnson add reliable depth to an already star-studded pace battery.
