As The Hundred 2025 enters its crucial middle phase, Match 22 at Lord’s sees London Spirit take on Northern Superchargers in a high-stakes clash. The Spirit, languishing in seventh place with just two wins from five games, are desperate to revive their campaign. Their batting has lacked fluency, with Kane Williamson and David Warner showing glimpses but failing to convert starts into match-winning knocks. The bowling unit, led by Daniel Worrall and Liam Dawson, has struggled to contain opposition batters in key moments.
In contrast, the Superchargers sit third on the table with three wins from five and a more settled lineup. Zak Crawley and Harry Brook have provided the firepower, while Matthew Potts and Adil Rashid have kept things tight with the ball. However, their recent loss to Manchester Originals exposed vulnerabilities under scoreboard pressure.
With Lord’s offering a balanced pitch and clear weather expected, both sides will need to bring their A-game. For London Spirit, it’s a must-win to stay alive. For the Superchargers, it’s a chance to solidify their top 3 credentials. Expect intensity, tactical battles, and a contest that could swing on a single over.

The pitch at Lord’s for Match 22 of The Hundred 2025 between the London Spirit and Northern Superchargers is expected to offer a well-balanced contest. Recent games at this iconic venue have shown that both batters and bowlers can thrive if they adapt quickly. The surface provides consistent bounce and decent pace early on, allowing stroke-makers to capitalize during the powerplay. However, as the innings progress, slower deliveries and cutters tend to grip, making run-scoring more challenging. Spinners have also found success in the middle overs, especially when bowling into the slope. Historically, teams batting first have had a slight edge at Lord’s, with a win percentage of 54% compared to 46% for chasing sides. Captains may lean towards setting a target, banking on scoreboard pressure, and the pitch’s subtle deterioration. Overall, expect a tactical battle where adaptability and execution will be key.
