The tournament will kick off with The Hundred Opener and a London Derby on 5 August, with a night of high-stakes cricket at Lord’s Cricket Ground featuring London Spirit – last year’s women’s champions – and Oval Invincibles – the 2024 men’s champions.
Pop sensation Mimi Webb will take to the stage in front of a packed out crowd, which comes shortly before the much-anticipated release of her sophomore album Confessions on 12 September.
Oval Invincibles superstar Marizanne Kapp said:
“I absolutely love playing in The Hundred and for Oval Invincibles. It’s so fun to play in a competition that has so many young people and families in the crowds and it doesn’t get much bigger or better than the Kia Oval.”
New Zealand’s all time leading run scorer Kane Williamson said:
‘I can’t wait to join London Spirit and play at Lord’s this summer. I’ve seen on TV and social media the amazing crowds they get in London and I can’t wait to be part of it’
