Amelia Kerr produced one of the greatest rescue acts in women’s T20 history, smashing an unbeaten 69 after her team slipped to 64-8, inspiring MI London to a dramatic three-run victory over London Spirit on Wednesday (August 6).
MI London registered their first win of The Hundred 2026, beating London Spirit in a low-scoring thriller on Thursday, August 6. Here’s how the points table for the women’s competition looks like after the result.

Overview

  • On Thursday, MI London Women staged a recovery from 64‑8 to post 122‑9 thanks to Amelia (Melie) Kerr’s unbeaten 69 and then defended the total to beat London Spirit by three runs.
  • Later the same day MI London Men chased 161 with a late explosive cameo from Sikandar Raza and support from Sam Curran and Nicholas Pooran to win by four wickets.
  • Will Jacks’ remarkable boundary catch to dismiss Lhuan‑dre Pretorius was widely credited with swinging momentum in the men’s game and helped restrict Spirit to 160‑5.
  • The results moved MI London Men to second in the men’s table and confirmed London Spirit Men as the first team eliminated, while both women’s sides sit on six points with damaging net‑run‑rates.
  • The double‑header drew a record group‑stage crowd of 27,721 and highlighted how international call‑ups, notably Rashid Khan’s absence and Raza’s late arrival, can produce immediate tournament consequences.
