LNS-W vs ML-W Dream11 Prediction & Dream11 Team Today: Match Preview, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11 & Pitch Report - The Hundred Women's 2026, Match 23
Match Preview
London Spirit Women and MI London Women meet again at Lord’s in Match 23, just over a week after these two played out one of the games of the season, a tie at The Oval where Amy Jones and Marie Kelly steered Spirit home in a chase of 152. Neither side has kicked on since. Spirit lost their next match to Sunrisers Leeds by 5 wickets despite a rapid Grace Harris fifty, and MI London remain winless through the whole competition, sitting bottom of the table with just 2 points after being bowled out cheaply in their last outing. That said, this is far from a one-sided contest on paper. Amelia Kerr has been quietly excellent for MI London with both bat and ball, and Hayley Matthews gives them a genuine all-round threat at the top. Spirit lean on Marizanne Kapp, who’s been their most consistent performer all season, and Grace Harris, who can take a game away in a few overs when she connects. Lord’s tends to start on the bowlers’ side before easing up, so early wickets here could shape the whole match.

Lord’s London – Pitch Report
Lord’s tends to offer a fair bit for the fast bowlers early on, with some swing and seam movement on offer before the pitch settles down and gets better for batting. As the innings goes on, spinners and cutters start to play a bigger role, especially once the surface is a little worn. Historically, the first-innings average in Women’s Hundred matches here sits around 122 runs, which is on the lower side, but a competitive score on a fresh, true pitch is closer to 135-145, with anything past 150 considered a really strong total. There’s a clear chasing bias at this venue, and teams tend to prefer bowling first when the skies are overcast, though batting first can work well if the pitch looks dry and is expected to slow down through the innings.

- Temperature: Around 12-22°C, mild and pleasant for an August evening
- Rain Chances: Very low, around 5 percent
- Humidity: Moderate

Conditions look dry and settled, with only light cloud expected. Given how little rain is forecast, this leans toward a fresh, true surface rather than one that’s been affected by overnight moisture, so batting first is a reasonable option if the pitch looks dry at the toss.

LNS-W vs ML-W Toss Prediction
Bat first.
With dry conditions and barely any rain in the forecast, the pitch at Lord’s should stay true early on rather than offer much help to the bowlers overnight. Given the historical chasing bias at this ground usually comes into play when there’s cloud cover around, and that’s not expected tomorrow, setting a total looks like the better option this time.
LNS-W vs ML-W Today Match Prediction
Prediction: London Spirit to Win 58%
This lns-w vs ml-w today match prediction leans toward London Spirit, mainly because MI London are still searching for their first win of the season and have struggled to string together consistent batting performances. Spirit haven’t been flawless either, but they’ve shown they can compete, drawing the last meeting between these two and picking up a win earlier in the campaign. Amelia Kerr and Hayley Matthews give MI London a real chance of an upset if they click together, but Spirit’s greater depth, particularly with Kapp and Harris both firing, should be enough to get them over the line.
