London Spirit, after a heartbreaking loss to the Manchester Originals, are all set to lock horns against the high-flying Trent Rockets at the home of cricket, i.e., Lord’s Cricket Ground in London. This will be the 13th match of Men’s Hundred 2025.
Trent Rockets are among the only two teams who are yet to be defeated in this edition. Rockets, along with Southern Brave, are the only teams to have not lost a game yet and would be eyeing a pole position after winning this contest. So far, they have won 2 in 2, defeating Birmingham Phoenix by 6 wickets and Northern Superchargers by 5 wickets. They currently stand second on the points table.
London Spirit, on the other hand, succumbed to their second defeat in three games after losing their previous match to Manchester Originals by just 10 runs. Despite a heroic effort from David Warner with the bat that saw him score 71 off 51, all in vain, as he couldn’t help his team get past the finishing line. Playing at home, the Spirit should fancy their chances of a win here and get their tournament back on winning track.
Let’s delve deeper into this post for the LNS vs TRT Dream11 prediction.

Matches Played: 4 LNS won: 1 TRT won: 3 No Result: 0
London Spirit and Trent Rockets have squared off 4 times in Men’s Hundred history. The Spiri haven’t had a good time against the Trent Rockets, as they have managed only a solitary win, compared to 3 in the name of Rockets.
The pitch at Lord’s for Match 13 between London Spirit and Trent Rockets is expected to be a batter’s paradise, offering a true surface with consistent bounce and pace. Early in the innings, seamers might extract some movement—especially with the iconic Lord’s slope aiding lateral deviation—but the track tends to flatten out quickly, making strokeplay easier as the game progresses. Spinners could come into play during the latter stages, especially if the surface dries out under the lights. Given the evening start, dew might influence proceedings, potentially favoring the chasing side. A first-innings total in the range of 150–165 should be considered competitive, but with power-packed lineups on both sides, a high-scoring thriller is very much on the cards.
Here’s a table featuring The Hundred stats at Lord’s, London:
LNS Expected Playing XI: Kane Williamson (C), David Warner, Jamie Smith (WK), Ollie Pope, Ashton Turner, Sean Dickson, Jamie Overton, Liam Dawson, Olly Stone, Richard Gleeson, Jafer Chohan/Daniel Worrall
TRT Expected Playing XI: Tom Banton (WK), Adam Hose, Joe Root, Marcus Stoinis, Max Holden, Tom Alsop, David Willey (C), Akeal Hosein, Rehan Ahmed, Lockie Ferguson, Sam Cook
