TEAMS PREVIEW
Southern Brave Women Preview
Southern Brave would be looking at this fixture as the perfect opportunity to solidify their position in the points table. The opposition hasn’t won a single game and are struggling to chase totals.
At the same time, Southern Brave Women have their bowling in great touch and are delivering consistently. If their frontline bowlers manage to send Sophie Devine and Tess Flintoff back to the hut early, Birmingham Women will be on the back foot.
Georgia Adams, a right-handed batter who comes in at number 4 has picked 9 wickets in the last 3 matches and will be the one for this job. Skipper Anya Shrubsole will also be leading the bowling attack along with Adams and Chloe Tryon, a bowling all-rounder from South Africa.
These three are more reliable and consistent bowlers in this side. Lauren Bell could also make a difference though she was quite expensive in their last outing.
The number 3 batter Maia Boucher has been exceptional in the middle order but would be expecting from one of the openers as well.
Smriti Mandhana and Danielle Wyatt form a strong opening pair but haven’t made a big impact lately. Mandhana scored 41 off 30 in the last game as Southern Brave Women chased 145 runs.
Georgia Adams found her touch at number 4 in the last game and that is good news for Southern Brave Women. Their middle and lower middle order hasn’t been very effective and if they lose the top order early, they could find themselves in trouble.
Southern Brave Women Predicted Playing XI:
Smriti Mandhana, Danielle Wyatt, Maia Bouchier, Georgia Adams, Freya Kemp, Chloe Tryon, Maitlan Brown, Kalea Moore, Anya Shrubsole (c), Rhianna Southby (wk), Lauren Bell

Birmingham Phoenix Women Preview
With 4 losses and one abandoned match, Birmingham Phoenix are in search of their first win of the season. They were pretty close in the very next game after their crushing defeat against Manchester Originals.
They needed 4 runs to win from the last 3 balls and Phoenix Women lost a wicket on each of these deliveries. From a totally commanding position to a 3-run loss, it was a shocker as Amy Jones watched from the non-striker's end.
Amy Jones is a key batter at number 3 for Birmingham Phoenix. She was out cheaply in the last game and skipper Evelyn Jones would expect her to find her rhythm and play another significant knock in the middle.
The in-form players in this lineup are the openers Sophie Devine and Tess Flintoff but without the from the middle order, the two may not be able to take risks and play a more attacking form of cricket.
There are many all-rounders in this side and the batting lineup is quite deep. If the batters find their rhythm, Birmingham Phoenix could possibly chase down a total or post a competitive target.
Erin Burns and Evelyn Jones will be the finishers at 4 and 5 while Issy Wong could come in and play a handy knock if one of these loses their wicket quickly. There is great variety in the bowling attack and it has been very effective in recent games.
The bowlers will be key to victory for Birmingham Phoenix and will be the ones to watch out for.
Birmingham Phoenix Women Predicted Playing XI:
Tess Flintoff, Sophie Devine, Amy Jones (wk), Erin Burns, Issy Wong, Evelyn Jones (c), Abigail Freeborn, Emily Arlott, Sterre Kalis, Hannah Baker, Katie Levick

SBW vs BRMW Pitch Report
Pitch Condition
Batting Conditions
Pace Bowling
Spin Bowling
The Rose Bowl in Southampton will be the venue for this encounter. The hosts, Southern Brave have won 1 of their two matches here so far. It is possible to score 140+ on this ground given the pitch conditions but with the weather around, the pacers could find some movement through the air. It may not be a very high-scoring game and we reckon 135-145 runs would be a match-winning score.
Toss: To Bat
So far teams batting first have won one of the two matches played here. But considering the bowling strength of both teams, we reckon they’d be in a better position if they defend a total. Phoenix Women have come close and failed to chase and would be better off batting first and defending a score.
SBW vs BRMW
Winning Prediction
There is great potential in the visiting team though they’ve got no wins in their kitty so far. The batting lineup is deep and the openers are in great touch and most of all their bowlers are very promising. Moreover, the hosts have some vulnerabilities in their batting lineup which if the Phoenix Women could exploit them, will leave the home team in all sorts of trouble.
However, considering the home advantage and the current form of the Southern Brave, they will start as favorites in our match prediction.
