Southern Brave: Red Hot Form
Southern Brave have won 5 matches in a row, including beating Welsh Fire and then Sunrisers Leeds to open this season 2-0. That win over Sunrisers Leeds was a notable result given both sides had opened the season unbeaten, and it puts Southern Brave clear at the top of the table with 8 points from 2 matches. Sophie Molineux’s captaincy has got off to the ideal start.
MI London: A Difficult Start
MI London have lost their last five matches, including both of their fixtures so far this season, first to Sunrisers Leeds and then to Welsh Fire. They sit bottom of the table without a point on the board. Hollie Armitage’s side will need a big response here against the form team of the competition.

Rose Bowl Pitch Report: Bat First Slightly Favoured
The Rose Bowl has hosted 12 matches in The Hundred Women’s competition, with teams batting first winning 58 percent of the time against 42 percent bowling first. The average first innings score of 128 suggests a venue where a par total, well built, is usually enough to defend.
Rose Bowl venue stats:
| Stat | Record |
|---|---|
| Matches | 12 |
| Won batting first | 58% |
| Won bowling first | 42% |
| Average 1st innings score | 128 |

| Highest chased | 153/4 by London Spirit vs Southern Brave |
Pace has taken 61 percent of wickets at this ground across the last 10 matches against 39 percent for spin, a split that should suit both attacks given their seam-heavy overseas options.

Key Player Battles
Laura Wolvaardt vs MI London’s bowling attack: Wolvaardt has been in fine touch through Southern Brave’s unbeaten start, and continued runs at the top of the order would put MI London under pressure from the first over.
Hayley Matthews vs Southern Brave’s bowling attack: Matthews remains MI London’s biggest threat, and a big score from her is close to essential if they are to end their five match losing run.
Sarah Glenn vs MI London’s middle order: Glenn’s leg-spin gives Southern Brave control in the middle overs, and containing Armitage and Kerr in that phase would go a long way to extending the winning streak.
SB-W vs MIL-W Fantasy Team (Small Leagues)
Wicketkeeper: Lizelle Lee
Batters: Laura Wolvaardt (C), Hayley Matthews (VC), Jemimah Rodrigues
All Rounders: Sophie Molineux, Amelia Kerr
Bowlers: Sarah Glenn, Lauren Bell, Chinelle Henry, Kirstie Gordon, Isabelle Wong
Wolvaardt is captain on the back of her consistent form at the top of Southern Brave’s order, and Matthews takes the vice-captaincy as MI London’s most dangerous batter despite the team’s struggles. Molineux and Kerr cover the all-round bases, and Glenn leads the bowling picks as one of the standout spinners in the competition.
SB-W vs MIL-W Fantasy Team (Grand Leagues)
For grand leagues, this second SB-W vs MIL-W fantasy team brings in Maia Bouchier and Danni Wyatt-Hodge as lower-owned alternatives to the headline names.
Wicketkeeper: Kira Chathli — differential
Batters: Laura Wolvaardt (C), Maia Bouchier (VC) — differential, Hayley Matthews, Danni Wyatt-Hodge — differential
All Rounders: Amelia Kerr, Naomi Dattani
Bowlers: Sarah Glenn, Alexa Stonehouse — differential, Ellie Anderson, Tilly Corteen-Coleman — differential
Bouchier and Wyatt-Hodge both offer upside without the ownership Wolvaardt or Matthews are likely to draw. Alexa Stonehouse is the wildcard bowling pick, capable of a breakout performance for an MI London side searching for a first win.

SB-W vs MIL-W Match Prediction
Southern Brave arrive as the clear form team of the competition, unbeaten in five and having already beaten a Sunrisers Leeds side that opened the season unbeaten themselves. MI London have real talent in Matthews, Kerr and Armitage, but five straight losses point to deeper issues than a single off day. Southern Brave are strong favourites here, and MI London will need something close to a perfect performance to end their losing run against the form side of the tournament.
