Sunrisers Leeds face London Spirit in Match 20 of The Hundred 2026 at Headingley Cricket Ground, Leeds, on Tuesday 4 August 2026, starting at 18:30 BST (UTC+1). Headingley holds 18,350 spectators and is the spiritual home of Yorkshire cricket.

London Spirit arrive as reigning men’s champions, having won the 2023 edition at Lord’s. That title pedigree makes every Spirit fixture a measuring-stick moment for the rest of the field, and Headingley’s Western Terrace will be in particularly loud voice when the champions come north.

Sunrisers Leeds, formerly the Northern Superchargers, now carry the Sunrisers Hyderabad brand into English cricket. Harry Brook combines Yorkshire grit with breathtaking shot-making and is England’s most exciting batting talent in the format. Adil Rashid’s leg-spin has been a consistent white-ball weapon for over a decade, and David Willey provides experienced left-arm seam plus handy lower-order runs.

London Spirit are built around Glenn Maxwell’s match-turning power, Zak Crawley’s elegant stroke-making at the top of the order, and Dan Lawrence’s versatility with bat and occasional spin. The reigning champions know how to close out close games, a quality that becomes decisive as the tournament intensifies.

The Hundred’s 100-balls-per-side format, with five-ball overs and two strategic timeouts per innings, compresses the drama of a T20 into an even sharper window. Every set of five balls can shift momentum, and Headingley’s conditions, where seamers find movement early and the ball flattens out later, reward tactical flexibility.

The 18,350-capacity venue combines northern wit with genuine cricket knowledge, and The Hundred has only amplified the energy that the Western Terrace generates on match nights.
