Stubbs will be a vital figure in the middle order for Brave. With Rashid Khan expected to operate in the middle overs for MI London, Stubbs will play a crucial role to build Brave's innings.
Brave's opener will be a key batter in the lineup. He got into some runs in the last game and will be looking to get the better of MI London bowlers in this game.
The southpaw from West Indies has already played a substantial knock in the opening game of MI London this season. He remains a quintessential pick in MI London's batting lineup.
The berserk striker Jason Roy is batting at no. 3 in this competition for MI London and hasn't played a substantial knock so far in two outings. However, the experience he possesses makes Roy an x-factor in this lineup, and one can expect him to score runs in this game.

The Southern Brave face a stern test as they return to their home ground in search of their first win of The Hundred 2026. After back-to-back defeats, Chris Jordan’s men find themselves rooted to the bottom of the points table, desperate to turn their fortunes around. History, however, is not on their side. Against MI London, the three-time champions, Brave have managed just one victory in six encounters and are currently on a five-match losing streak against them.
Yet, the Brave boast a squad packed with match-winners who can rise to the occasion. David Miller’s finishing power, Jamie Smith’s consistency, and Marcus Stoinis’ all-round ability provide depth, while Jofra Archer and Adil Rashid add world-class firepower with ball in hand. Luke Wood, Daniel Worrall, and Tristan Stubbs further strengthen the lineup, giving Jordan options to challenge MI London’s dominance.
It will take a collective effort and a fearless approach for Southern Brave to break their losing run. With home support behind them, this clash offers the perfect stage to script a turnaround and prove they can stand tall against one of the tournament’s most formidable sides.
MI London, the reigning three-time champions, will be eager to assert their dominance when they face a struggling Southern Brave outfit. With one win and one loss from their opening two fixtures, Sam Curran’s side sits third on the points table and knows that a victory here could propel them closer to the second spot. Facing a Brave unit under immense pressure, MI London will look to capitalize on their opponent’s poor form and extend their head-to-head supremacy.
The team boasts a star-studded lineup capable of turning the game on its head. Jason Roy’s explosive batting at the top, Will Jacks’ versatility, and Nicholas Pooran’s flair in the middle order provide a strong batting core. Meanwhile, Rashid Khan’s spin wizardry and Richard Gleeson’s pace add bite to their bowling attack. With Curran’s leadership and all-round skills binding the unit together, MI London appear well-equipped to outclass the Brave.
This clash offers MI London the perfect opportunity to stamp authority early in the campaign. A clinical performance could not only secure two crucial points but also send a strong message to the rest of the competition that the champions remain a formidable force. Let’s move ahead and check the cricket tips.
