MI London vs London Spirit Toss Prediction
MI London are predicted to win the toss and elect to bat first at the Kennington Oval. The Oval surface tends to be true and pace-friendly early on, making it ideal for big-hitting openers to set a high total before dew settles in the second innings. Batting first allows MIL to fully exploit Nicholas Pooran’s destructive form and set London Spirit a target that could prove beyond their current capabilities.
Kennington Oval, London Pitch Report
Kennington Oval, London
The Kennington Oval is one of England’s most batting-friendly surfaces in short-format cricket. The pitch offers true bounce and even carry, allowing batters to play their full range of shots from ball one. Seamers find swing early in the evening under lights, but the track eases considerably once the shine is off. In The Hundred format, the Oval typically produces totals in the 155–180 range, and the MIL vs LS pitch conditions are expected to be no different, high-scoring and entertaining.
Weather Report
London in late July is expected to be warm and dry for the late-night fixture, with temperatures around 20–24°C by the 11:30 PM BDT start. There is minimal chance of rain interruption at this time of year at the Oval. Dew may be a minor factor as the match progresses into the night, potentially assisting the chasing side’s batters in the latter half of the innings. Overall conditions should be ideal for an uninterrupted evening of Hundred cricket.

MI London vs London Spirit Team Preview & Squads
MI London
Sam Curran is MI London’s captain and the connective tissue holding this team’s bowling attack together. His left-arm pace is a genuine powerplay threat, and his ability to contribute across all three phases, batting, bowling, and fielding, sets the tone for a squad that plays a high-energy, all-action brand of Hundred cricket. Under Curran’s leadership, MIL have won four of their last five matches, making them the most consistent side in this competition right now.
The MIL batting structure is built around Will Jacks and Nicholas Pooran. Jacks won Player of the Match against Southern Brave with a composed 54 off 41 balls, providing the anchor role that allows the big hitters around him to play freely. Pooran is the designated destroyer, tipped as the top run-scorer and most sixes candidate for MIL in this WF vs TR fixture, his power in the middle overs can change a game within ten balls. Jason Roy, Ollie Pope, and Josh Philippe provide further batting depth.
Rashid Khan is the jewel in MI London’s bowling crown. His leg-spin can bamboozle any batting lineup, creating pressure, taking wickets, and strangling runs simultaneously, making him arguably the most valuable player in The Hundred 2026. Trent Boult is predicted as MIL’s top wicket-taker tonight, bringing left-arm swing under the Oval lights in the powerplay. Tom Curran and Richard Gleeson add seam depth, while Callum Parkinson completes a well-balanced bowling unit.
MI London Squad:

Sam Curran, Trent Boult, Tom Curran, Richard Gleeson, Eddie Jack, Will Jacks, Sebastian Morgan, Callum Parkinson, Josh Philippe, Nicholas Pooran, Ollie Pope, Rashid Khan, Jason Roy, Sherfane Rutherford, Nathan Sowter, Olly Stone, Ollie Sykes, James Vince
London Spirit
Liam Livingstone is a player capable of winning any match on his own, and as captain of London Spirit, his team desperately needs him to do exactly that tonight. Spirit have lost four of their last five matches and sit bottom of the table. Livingstone’s explosive batting at the top of the order is the spark this team needs, and in this MIL vs LS preview, he remains the one player most likely to drag Spirit back into form single-handedly.
Lhuan-dre Pretorius offers London Spirit youth and raw aggressive power in the batting order, a player who can attack from the first ball and put any bowling attack on the back foot. Jonny Bairstow is predicted as LS’s top run-scorer and most sixes candidate tonight, bringing his trademark fearless approach to what is the team’s most important batting role. Dewald Brevis and James Rew add further talent in the middle, though Spirit need the top order to fire for any of it to matter.
Adam Milne spearheads London Spirit’s pace attack with his ability to generate sharp bounce and awkward carry for top-order batters. Adam Zampa is predicted as LS’s top wicket-taker tonight, his wrist-spin and ability to trouble batters through variation making him crucial on an Oval surface expected to assist spinners from the midpoint of the innings. David Willey provides left-arm swing and all-round value, while Mason Crane and Tymal Mills give Livingstone versatile options across all phases.
London Spirit Squad:

Liam Livingstone, Jonny Bairstow, Dewald Brevis, Kiran Carlson, James Coles, Mason Crane, Henry Crocombe, Matthew Fisher, Tymal Mills, Adam Milne, Jamie Overton, Lhuan-dre Pretorius, James Rew, Andrew Tye, David Willey, Adam Zampa
