Presentation time...

Southern Brave Women put on a clinical display to secure a commanding win, first posting an imposing total and then backing it up with a sharp bowling performance. After setting a strong platform with the bat, powered by solid contributions from Maia Bouchier, Danni Wyatt-Hodge, Laura Wolvaardt, and Freya Kemp, they posted a formidable 161 on the board. In response, the bowlers took charge from the outset, striking at regular intervals to dismantle the Invincibles’ chase. Mady Villiers led the charge with an impressive three-wicket haul, effectively breaking the backbone of the opposition’s batting. She was well supported by Lauren Bell, Sophie Devine, and Georgia Adams, who each claimed two wickets, while Tilly Corteen-Coleman chipped in with one. Phoebe Franklin was the standout performer with the ball for the visitors, but her efforts weren’t enough to prevent the Brave from cruising to victory.

A dominant all-round performance from the Southern Brave Women sees them dismantle the Oval Invincibles Women by a massive 89 runs in front of a jubilant home crowd, securing their fifth consecutive win of the tournament. Defending a challenging target of 162, Southern Brave struck early, removing both openers within the Powerplay. The pressure never eased as key batters Alice Capsey, Marizanne Kapp, and Paige Scholfield followed cheaply, triggering a dramatic collapse. The Invincibles found themselves reeling at 60/9 before Amanda-Jade Wellington added some resistance with a few vital runs. However, her efforts were not enough to prevent a heavy defeat, as Southern Brave sealed an emphatic victory and reinforced their status as the team to beat in the competition.
