London Spirit Women vs MI London Women Live Score, Match 12 of The Hundred Women, 2026

Can the men top this? A real humdinger on Derby Day in London. Let's hope the men's game now serves up something similar, if not even better. That fixture has been a rather one-sided rivalry in recent times, with MI London dominating the head-to-head. After what we have just witnessed, it would be nice to see that trend bucked with another thriller. Please switch tabs and join us for all the action from the men's London derby. Cheers!

Henry ignited the finish - Earlier in the game, London Spirit Women had MI London Women in check for most of the innings, but the wheels came off towards the back end. The top three all got starts but failed to convert them into anything substantial. Amelia Kerr found her rhythm at just the right time, but it was Chinelle Henry who really provided the spark for the hosts with some superb ball-striking. 52 runs were scored off the last 20 balls, which lifted Spirit to 152.

Spirit let it slip - Neither batter could see it through, and when both fell in the space of four balls, MI London Women sensed an opening. We have already seen Southern Brave pull off a couple of heists this season, and MI London Women hung in there right till the very end. Despite conceding plenty from her first five balls, Nicola Carey came back superbly before Hayley Matthews showed all her experience against two of the cleanest ball-strikers in the women's game to ensure MI London Women escaped with a tie.

Kelly lead the charge - Carrying on from the finish she provided with the bat, Chinelle Henry struck with the very first ball. But that was as good as it got for MI London Women in the powerplay. Marie Kelly came out with intent and immediately put the pressure back on the home side. Kelly's knock laid the platform for the chase, but there was still work to be done. Amy Jones did not find run-scoring as easy early on, but she grew into her innings as it progressed. The arrival of Marizanne Kapp took the pressure off her, and together they chipped away at the target at a healthy rate.

PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Marie Kelly has been given the award for her entertaining knock of 45 runs from 28 balls. Kelly says that it was nerve-wracking to watch and gives credit to MI London Women as they fought really well. She adds that the wicket was a bit tricky with some uneven bounce. She reckons that 150 was a good total and ends by saying that their batters did well too.

Wow, what a game - A finish worthy of the London derby. London Spirit Women will feel they should have closed it out from the position they found themselves in, needing just 12 off the last 10 balls. At the same time, MI London Women, who came into the game on the back of three straight defeats and desperately in search of all four points, will have to settle for two as the points are shared.

Right then, we are down to the final ball. Remember, a tie is a tie in the league stage of The Hundred, so there will be no Super Five if the scores are level.
