The London Spirit women’s team will launch their campaign in the curtain-raiser against the Invincibles, setting the stage for a blockbuster start to the season. Over 24 days and 32 matchdays, the competition will build to an exciting conclusion, with the Eliminator scheduled at the Kia Oval on August 30, followed by the Final at Lord’s on August 31.

The Hundred 2025 will retain its existing format, with each team playing against every other team once and facing their local or nearest rivals twice. After the 32 league games, the table-toppers will advance directly to the Final, while the 2nd and 3rd seeded teams will compete in the Eliminator to determine the second finalist for the summit clash.

Southern Brave and Oval Invincibles featured in the Finals of the first two seasons, with the Brave finishing as runners-up on both occasions. However, the Brave’s crowning moment came in 2023 when they defeated the Northern Superchargers to claim the title. London Spirit, who had struggled in earlier seasons, staged a remarkable turnaround to clinch the championship last season.

Ahead of the retentions and draft for The Hundred 2025, a new rule allowing Direct Signings was introduced and the first confirmed signings under this rule are Laura Wolvaardt, who moves from Manchester Originals to Southern Brave, and Melie Kerr, who switches from London Spirit to Manchester Originals. Additionally, four key retentions have been announced in Nat Sciver-Brunt (Trent Rockets), Marizanne Kapp (Oval Invincibles), Hayley Matthews (Welsh Fire), and Charlie Dean (London Spirit).

Eying title defense, Charlie Dean said, “August is fast becoming one of the best months of the summer. The Hundred has developed into an excellent competition, we play in front of fantastic crowds and even from the middle you get a sense of how the crowd is so full of families and young people. The cricket itself is high quality, the format is accessible and quick, and we’re all really looking forward to getting back to it and hopefully defending our title.”
