The iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground is set to light up on 14th August 2025 at 7:30 PM IST, as London Spirit, under the fresh leadership of Charlie Dean, take on Ashleigh Gardner’s Trent Rockets in Match 13 of The Women’s Hundred.
Both sides come into the clash with contrasting starts to their campaigns, one riding high on unbeaten momentum, the other searching desperately for a turnaround.
With regular captain Heather Knight sidelined, Dean has stepped up brilliantly for the Spirit, guiding her team to a perfect start, a hard-fought 17-run win over Oval Invincibles on 5th August, a nail-biting 2-run triumph over Welsh Fire on 9th August, and a gritty 3-wicket victory over Manchester Originals on 11th August. The result? A second-place spot on the points table with a healthy 12 points after three matches, and the belief that they can end London’s long winless run against the Rockets.
For the Trent Rockets, 2025 has begun in stark contrast. Ashleigh Gardner, stepping into the shoes of Nat Sciver-Brunt, has yet to find the magic touch as captain. The Rockets stumbled in their opening two matches, first to Birmingham Phoenix by 11 runs, and then to the Northern Superchargers by eight wickets, leaving them languishing in 7th place and in urgent need of points to revive their campaign.
Head-to-Head Record:
Matches Played: 4
Trent Rockets: 4
London Spirit: 0
Despite current form, the Rockets hold a clear edge historically. In the Women’s Hundred so far, the Trent Rockets have beaten the London Spirit in all four of their previous encounters. That dominance will give Gardner’s team a psychological lift, while Dean’s side sees this as the perfect moment to break the streak at the “Home of Cricket.”
With form, history, and hunger for points all converging at Lord’s, fans can expect a thrilling contest, and here’s where you can catch every ball of the action.
