Prediction

The men’s squad is packed with experience – Eoin Morgan, Mohammad Amir, Ravi Bopara and Roelof Van Der Merwe are all seasoned white-ball pros – and London Spirit are one of the favourites for The Hundred despite losing key overseas signing Glenn Maxwell. It will be interesting to see how the team fares under Australia legend Shane Warne.

The women’s team contains less experience but just as much excitement and firepower, with West Indies T20 World Cup winner Deandra Dottin – the first female cricketer to hit 100 sixes in T20 internationals – signed up. Heather Knight and Tammy Beaumont are also gun batters.

London Spirit Men: 6th
London Spirit Women: 6th
