The Southern Brave take on the London Spirit in the 2026 Women’s Hundred at Lord’s Cricket Ground on Saturday, August 1. The Brave will come into this clash after a brilliant 24-run win over the Birmingham Phoenix, posting a total of 140 for 3 before defending it with relative ease.
Sophie Molinuex’s side have been the form team of the competition, maintaining their 100 per cent record, winning four of their four matches. They will be looking to extend their unbeaten run to seal a place in the knockout rounds of the season.
Here is the Southern Brave’s predicted XI against London Spirit:
The Brave batting lineup has been very top-heavy, with the senior batters occupying the top three spots. South African wicketkeeper-batter Lizelle Lee is one of the most fierce ball strikers in the women’s game. Her brilliant 43 against the Phoenix saw her pick up the Player of the Match award. England’s Maia Bouchier started the season slowly but roared back to form with a well-made 45 against the Phoenix. Laura Wolvaardt is one of the most reliable batters in the women’s game and has scores of 45 and 35 against Welsh Fire and MI London.
The role of Jemimah Rodrigues in the middle order has been vital for the Brave. The batter has scored 106 runs in four innings, averaging 53 and striking at 134.17, with vital runs in the middle order. Skipper Sophie Molineux has led the way with the ball, picking up seven wickets in four games. Jodie Grewcock and Naomi Dattani strengthen the batting lineup, while Dattani also adds an extra seam bowling option for the side.
The Brave have been carried to success by a balanced and powerful bowling attack, with reliable pace and spin options. Lauren Bell and Issy Wong have put the new ball to good use, backing it up with accuracy in the death overs, while the spin duo of Sarah Glenn and Tilly Corteen-Coleman have tightened the screws on the batting teams in the middle overs.
