Sun Risers Leeds posted a record-breaking 241-2, the highest total in The Hundred's history, before comfortably defeating London Spirit. The innings was anchored by an opening partnership of 148 from Mitchell Marsh (76) and Ryan Rickelton, who was left on 94 not out.

Harry Brook continued the onslaught with a rapid 55 from just 18 balls, surpassing the previous record of 226-4 set by Oval Invincibles. London Spirit's chase began poorly with early wickets falling, despite efforts from Liam Livingstone (34), David Willey (83 not out), and Jamie Overton (27 not out). They finished on 204-6, resulting in a 37-run defeat.

Match Hero Rickelton highlighted the excellent batting conditions. The win keeps Sun Risers' playoff hopes alive, moving them to fourth in the table, while London Spirit's qualification hopes are now slim.
