MI London eliminated from The Hundred despite victory

MI London, the three-time consecutive champions of The Hundred men's league, has been eliminated from the 2026 tournament. Despite securing a narrow 2-run victory over Birmingham Phoenix in their final match, the team failed to qualify due to an inferior net run rate.

In the match, MI London posted 157 runs for 6 wickets, led by Nicholas Pooran's 36 runs. Birmingham Phoenix fell short, scoring 155 for 7 while chasing the target. This loss marked the seventh defeat for the Phoenix this season.

While MI London finished with 5 wins from 8 matches, Manchester United and Sunrisers Leeds also recorded 5 wins but advanced to the eliminator due to superior run rates. Trent Rockets have already secured their place in the final, which is scheduled for August 16.
