The Southern Brave continued their unbeaten streak in this year's Hundred, securing a comfortable 24-run win over the Birmingham Phoenix. The Brave maintained their top spot, while the Phoenix remains at the bottom of the table, still seeking their first victory. The Phoenix was restricted to 117 runs while chasing 141, with their innings collapsing after a promising start. Tammy Beaumont and Davina Perrin initially led the charge, but their efforts were undone by the Brave's bowling attack.
Alice Capsey and Perrin's dismissals marked a turning point, as the Phoenix struggled to regain momentum. Earlier, Lizelle Lee's explosive powerplay and Maia Bouchier's supporting role helped the Brave set a competitive total. Jemimah Rodrigues added crucial runs towards the end, ensuring the Brave's dominance. The Brave's captain, Sophie Molineux, praised her team's performance, highlighting the bowlers' contributions and the team's ability to perform under pressure.
