Kerr brilliance keeps MI London's slim hopes alive
Melie Kerr's unbeaten 69 rescues MI London as they beat London Spirit for their first win of the 2026 campaign.
In a thrilling turn of events, Nicola Kerr delivered a stellar performance, leading struggling MI London to a narrow three-run victory against London Spirit in the women's Hundred at Lord's. Kerr's magnificent 69-run knock from just 41 balls proved to be the turning point for her team, which had been winless in their last five matches.
With MI London sitting on 122-9 before the bowlers, Kerr's batting prowess helped the team maintain a slim hope of qualification. Dean from London Spirit was the pick of the bowlers, claiming 3-26 and playing a pivotal role in MI London's final victory. Despite Kerr's brilliance, MI London's fate is now in their own hands, as they need to secure wins in their remaining games to boost their net run-rate, while Spirit stands at the same position.
