LDS Vs SOU Match Prediction: The Hundred Men’s 2026 will be the sixth season of this unique tournament. Nowhere else in the world do we see a top-level cricket competition that deviates from the game’s standard formats. But here, rather than each team playing 10 or 20 overs, both innings last for just 100 deliveries.
The London Spirit, the less successful of the two London teams in The Hundred, have never won the men’s competition. Their only top three finish came in 2022, when they finished third. In 2025, the Spirit ended the season in seventh place, nowhere near the playoffs.
The Spirit, in their first game of the season, were defeated by the Manchester Super Giants, before losing tothe trent Rockets in their second. In the Spirit’s third game this season, they finally registered a win, as they defeated cross-town rivals MI London
On the other hand, the Southern Brave were the inaugural champions of The Hundred Men’s competition, winning the title all the way back in 2021. Since then, they have made it to the Eliminator once and finished as the runners-up in 2024. Last season, they barely missed out on a playoff spot, finishing fourth on the table.
The Brave lost to the Welsh Fire in their first game of the season. Then, in their second game, they were beaten by Sunrisers Leeds. A third loss in a row came against MI London. They then won their first game of the season, defeating the Birmingham Phoenix in their fourth.

LDS Vs SOU Match 16 The Hundred Men’s 2026 Lord’s Pitch Report
The pitches at Lord’s provide a balanced battle between bat and ball, especially in T20 cricket. There is some decent grass on the surface for the entirety of the match. The new ball moves around, helping pacers assert dominance in the beginning. But then, as the ball gets older, the track becomes better for batting and more runs are scored. At no point in the match is the spinner the dominant force. Due to the grass being on the pitch for both innings in a T20I game, batting or bowling first here doesn’t matter much. As for dimensions, Lord’s is a pretty decently sized stadium, with the square boundaries being around 65 away from the batters, while the straight ones being just about 70m.
LDS Vs SOU Match 16 Weather Forecast
