The Hundred women's competition saw a thrilling tie at The Oval as MI London held London Spirit to 151-5 after reaching 151-4 themselves. Hayley Matthews conceded just three runs from the final three balls to secure the draw.

MI London, who were put in to bat, posted 151-4 thanks to an unbeaten 49 from Melie Kerr and a quickfire 33 from Chinelle Henry. In response, London Spirit's chase was anchored by Amy Jones, who scored 49, and a 68-run partnership with Marie Kelly (45). Despite looking set to win, the loss of Jones and Kapp in quick succession led to a tense finish.

With Spirit needing nine off the last set, Deandra Dottin managed a four and a single. However, Matthews took a wicket and restricted further scoring, with Dottin only able to scramble two off the final ball. This result gives MI London their first points of the season and moves them off the bottom of the table, while Spirit sit fourth with a win, a defeat, and a tie.
