London Spirit women’s team are looking to retain The Hundred title they won in 2024. Spirit beat Welsh Fire in the final in front of a packed house at Lord’s. Deepti Sharma hit the winning runs for Spirit off the 98th ball, to secure victory by four wickets. Last season they performed strongly in the league stages finishing in third place, before losing out to Sunrisers Leeds in the Eliminator play-off.
London Spirit men’s team have yet to win silverware in The Hundred. Last year they struggled in the league stages and missed out on the play-offs. Can they raise their game in 2026? New head coach Andy Flower has the job of improving Spirit’s fortunes. The signing of England stars Liam Livingstone and Jamie Overton show the Londoners mean business. All eyes will be on NW8 to see if they can deliver.
