London Spirit secure their first win of the 2026 men’s Hundred season, beating MI London by seven wickets in the London derby at The Oval. Chasing MI London’s target, Spirit are powered by a standout innings from Lhuan-dre Pretorius, who makes 64 runs. The match reports note that Pretorius has to recover after a heavy collision while fielding earlier in the contest, before returning to contribute with the bat. Spirit’s successful chase brings them over the line and registers a seven-wicket victory. Across the two reports, the focus is on Pretorius’s impact and Spirit ending a winless start to the campaign. Both sources agree on the margin of victory, the venue, the opponent, and that it is Spirit’s first win of the season. The result also means MI London are unable to convert their innings into a win against their local rivals.
