MIL vs LNS Dream11 Prediction & Dream11 Team Today: Match Preview, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI & Pitch Report - The Hundred Men's 2026, Match 12

Match Preview

MI London and London Spirit meet in Match 12 of The Hundred Men’s Competition 2026, and this mil vs lns dream11 prediction arrives with the champions in decent touch — MI London have won two of their three matches so far, including a nervy last-ball chase over Southern Brave where Will Jacks struck a Player-of-the-Match 54. Richard Gleeson has been the standout bowler in the entire competition, leading all bowlers with 7 wickets, while Trent Boult’s economy of 4.80 gives MI London genuine control with the new ball. London Spirit, by contrast, are winless through two matches and slipped to a second straight defeat against Trent Rockets despite a platform-setting 159. Captain Liam Livingstone arrives in excellent recent white-ball form, and Lhuan-dre Pretorius carries real recent MLC form with him, but this mil vs lns dream11 team prediction has to lean toward the in-form, battle-tested champions on their home ground at The Oval.

Match Details

MIL vs LNS Pitch Report Today –Kennington Oval

Kennington Oval is best described as a balanced-to-batting-friendly Men’s Hundred venue rather than a consistently flat batting ground. Across 24 result-producing matches, the first-innings average is 146.5 runs, while chasing teams have won 14 times compared with eight victories for teams batting first, showing a clear historical advantage for batting second. The venue has produced Oval Invincibles’ record 226/4 and Manchester Originals’ successful chase of 197, but it has also seen Birmingham Phoenix dismissed for 89 and full-length totals of 96 and 118 — a wide scoring range that shows pitch preparation, early wickets, and batting execution can significantly change the contest. For this match, the safest verified pitch verdict is: generally good for stroke play on the better surfaces, capable of producing totals above 170, and historically more favourable to chasing. Totals around 140-150 can still remain competitive when bowlers take early wickets, so a high-scoring contest shouldn’t automatically be assumed.

MIL vs LNS Toss Prediction

Bowl first.

The Oval has a clear historical lean toward chasing — teams batting second have won 12 of the last 20 men’s Hundred matches here, a 60% win rate that’s the opposite trend to venues like Lord’s. With MI London’s own record total (226/4) coming while chasing, and the surface staying true and easy to bat on throughout, setting up a chase looks like the smarter call for whoever wins the toss.

MIL vs LNS Today Match Prediction

Prediction: MI London to Win — 62%

This mil vs lns today match prediction favours MI London — they’re the three-time defending champions, they’ve dominated this exact head-to-head historically (6 wins from 8 meetings, including 4 of the last 5), and Richard Gleeson’s tournament-leading form gives them a genuine edge with the ball. London Spirit aren’t without hope, though — Liam Livingstone’s excellent recent form and Lhuan-dre Pretorius’s big-innings pedigree give them real firepower if their top order finally clicks. Back MI London at home, but expect London Spirit to push for their first win of the season.
