MI London Preview
Formerly known as Oval Invincibles, MI London begin a new chapter in The Hundred as the defending champions. The rebranded franchise enjoyed another outstanding campaign in 2025, finishing at the top of the league table with six wins from eight matches before lifting a record third consecutive Men’s Hundred title.
MI London capped off their title-winning campaign with a comprehensive 26-run victory over Trent Rockets in the final at Lord’s. After posting 168/5, they restricted the Rockets to 142/8 to seal the championship. Nathan Sowter starred with the ball, claiming 3/25 to earn the Player of the Match award, while opener Jordan Cox finished as the tournament’s Player of the Series after scoring 367 runs.
The batting unit continues to be led by Will Jacks, who has scored 312 runs at a strike rate of 156, while Sam Curran has scored 263 runs in the last 10 matches. With the ball, Rashid Khan remains MI London’s biggest match-winner after taking 12 wickets at an economy of just 8.20 in six games last season, while Sam Curran also claimed 12 wickets, making him one of the competition’s most impactful all-rounders.
With a settled core, proven match-winners and the confidence of being defending champions, MI London will be determined to begin their title defence with another commanding performance.
Key Players: Will Jacks, Sam Curran, Rashid Khan, Nicholas Pooran
MIL Over/Under Betting Tips
Nicholas Pooran Total Runs Over 18.5 @ 1.83
Nicholas Pooran smashed a 33-ball 100 in his last MLC outing. Having found his form of late in the tournament, he will look to carry that momentum into the season opener against Sunrisers Leeds. Playing against his former team, Pooran will aim to make a statement on a good batting track at the Kia Oval, and we predict he will score over 18 runs with ease.
Will Jacks Total Runs Over 21.5 @ 1.80
Jacks has scored 526 runs in 19 innings, averaging 29.2 at The Kia Oval in The Hundred tournament. He plays at this venue regularly and knows the conditions really well. With him likely to bat at the top of the order alongside Jason Roy, we back Jacks to provide a good start to MI London and predict his score to be over 21.
MI London Predicted Playing XI:
Jason Roy, Will Jacks, Ollie Pope, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Sam Curran (c), James Vince, Sherfane Rutherford, Rashid Khan, Nathan Sowter, Trent Boult, Richard Gleeson

Sunrisers Leeds Preview
Formerly known as Northern Superchargers, Sunrisers Leeds begin a new chapter in The Hundred with a fresh identity and renewed ambitions. They enjoyed a solid 2025 campaign, finishing third in the league table with five wins from eight matches to qualify for the knockout stage. Their season featured impressive victories over Welsh Fire, Birmingham Phoenix, London Spirit and Southern Brave, although defeats to Trent Rockets, Manchester Originals and Welsh Fire prevented them from finishing in the top two.
One of their standout performances came against the defending champions, MI London. Batting first in Leeds, Sunrisers Leeds posted an imposing 198/4 before restricting MI London to 182/7, securing a memorable 16-run victory. Harry Brook starred with a blistering 56 off 27 balls, earning the Player of the Match award.
The side will once again be led by Zak Crawley, whose consistency at the top of the order was reflected in his 280 runs (9 matches) at an average of 40 and a strike rate of 160 . Alongside him, Harry Brook remains one of the most destructive batters in the competition, scoring 227 runs (10 matches) at a strike rate of 162.14. With the ball, Matthew Potts impressed with 11 wickets in 9 matches, while Tom Lawes provided excellent support by claiming eight wickets at an economy of 8.77.
With an experienced captain, an explosive batting lineup and a disciplined pace attack, Sunrisers Leeds have all the ingredients to challenge for the title once again and will be confident of making a strong start to the 2026 campaign.
