London Spirit vs Southern Brave Toss Prediction
London Spirit are predicted to win the toss and elect to bat first at Lord’s. Home conditions and Jonny Bairstow’s aggressive intent at the top make setting a target the logical call. The Lord’s outfield is typically quick, rewarding batters who look to clear the rope early. Any dew settling later in the evening could give the chasing side a slight edge, making tonight’s toss a pivotal moment.
Lord’s, London Pitch Report
Lord’s offers a competitive surface for Hundred cricket, with early pace and carry for the seamers before settling into a true batting track through the middle phase. The famous slope from the Pavilion End creates interesting angles for bowlers on both sides, adding a tactical dimension to tonight’s LS vs SB fixture. Scores in the 145–160 range are achievable here, and a closely fought, high-quality contest looks very much on the cards tonight.
Weather Report
Conditions at Lord’s on the night of August 1 are expected to be cool and partly cloudy, with temperatures in the mid-to-upper teens Celsius. Dew is less likely to be a decisive factor here compared to subcontinental venues, though any late-evening moisture could provide a subtle advantage to the chasing side. Both captains will weigh this up carefully when making the toss call tonight.

London Spirit vs Southern Brave Team Preview & Squads
London Spirit
Liam Livingstone leads London Spirit with the kind of big-match temperament Lord’s seems to demand. A destructive power-hitter who can anchor or attack depending on what the innings requires, his captaincy adds a tactical edge that elevates those around him. This LS vs SB preview highlights how Livingstone’s presence with bat in hand, alongside the threat of key names below him, gives Spirit a genuine multi-dimensional batting threat.
Jonny Bairstow is London Spirit’s batting centrepiece tonight, tipped as top run-scorer, Player of the Match, and most likely six-hitter, his explosive wicketkeeping-batting style is perfectly suited to the demands of The Hundred. Lhuan-dre Pretorius provides blistering backup having already shown his quality with a stunning 64 off 28 in the previous match. Dewald Brevis, Kiran Carlson, and James Rew offer depth and composure in the middle order to consolidate whenever the top order falls.
Andrew Tye’s variations at the death make him one of Spirit’s most reliable bowling options in the final phase. Adam Milne, tipped as top wicket-taker tonight, brings genuine New Zealand express pace and the ability to unsettle batters early with sharp movement. Jamie Overton contributes crucial all-round value, while Adam Zampa and Mason Crane provide a potent spin option in the middle overs capable of restricting even the most aggressive batting line-ups.

Southern Brave
Chris Jordan captains Southern Brave with composed authority, leading from the front with both his skills as a quality seam bowler and his ability to make sharp tactical decisions under pressure. Having guided his side to a 12-run win over Birmingham Phoenix in their last match, Jordan will arrive at Lord’s looking to maintain that momentum against a Spirit side that will relish playing on home soil.
Marcus Stoinis is Southern Brave’s all-round X-factor, a player who batted and bowled effectively in the last match, taking 2/16 alongside his runs with the bat, underlining the threat he poses in every phase. David Miller, tipped as Brave’s top run-scorer and most likely six-hitter tonight, provides the explosive middle-order firepower that makes Brave dangerous from any position. Jamie Smith and Tristan Stubbs add further versatility and batting depth throughout the innings.
Adil Rashid is the jewel in Southern Brave’s bowling attack, his leg-spin consistently deceives batters and picks up wickets through the middle phase of The Hundred innings. Luke Wood, tipped as the top wicket-taker for Brave tonight, brings left-arm pace and the ability to reverse the ball in the death overs. Jofra Archer and Daniel Worrall add genuine express pace, making this an attack that commands serious respect in this SB preview.
