Southern Brave look to go out on a high from the 2024 season when they take on table leaders Welsh Fire in the match. It has been a dreadful campaign for Southern Brave, who have fallen from the highs of 2023 following their success in the competition. Southern Brave Women might appear to have the upper hand in the head-to-head records but they have struggled very badly this season. After having picked up only one win from the seven group matches, the final game does not provide a lot of confidence that Southern Brave Women will be able to go out on a high.
Welsh Fire Women remain at the top of the table despite the recent defeat to Birmingham Phoenix. Fire are facing a stiff threat from Oval Invincibles, who are just behind only on goal difference. The margin remains negligible and the game has a lot of promise.

After winning the title last season, it is a major blow for Southern Brave Women that the team are fighting to end the season on a positive note following the bottom finish in the group. Even with a victory in the final game, Southern Brave will not be able to jump away from the bottom spot. It is a testament to the disappointing season for the team.
The loss to the Rockets is the fourth defeat in the recent five games for Southern Brave Women, who are three points behind Birmingham Phoenix having played a game more. Danni Wyatt takes shape as the second top scorer in the 2024 competition after grabbing 225 runs from her seven innings. Even though she came up with some fine knocks like the 46 against the Invincibles, Wyatt has struggled with consistency after a duck and 14 in two of her last three innings.
Lauren Bell is the top wicket-taker for Southern Brave Women with eight wickets in her seven innings. She was particularly at her impressive best with numbers of 3/36 in the match against the Rockets.

Welsh Fire ran out of steam in the loss against Birmingham Phoenix. It is a major blow to the team’s hopes of finishing top of Group A. The team could not capitalise on the Invincibles failing to pick up any points from the game against Southern Brave Women. Welsh Fire Women have a slender advantage on Net Run Rate and they may not be sure of the top spot irrespective of the results against Southern Brave.
Sophia Dunkley has been the leading scorer for the Fire Women with 143 runs from her six innings at an average of 28. She remains far from the pace set by the top batters in 2024 and her inconsistent form is also highlighted by a return of just one score in double figures over the last four matches.
Jess Jonassen has been the pick of the bowlers for the Fire in 2024. She has managed nine wickets from her six innings at an average of 14.77. She has also been among the economical bowlers in the team. Hayley Matthews, though, was impressive after taking three for 32 runs against the Phoenix.

The pitch at the Rose Bowl in Southampton is known for being friendly to batters but there will be some degree of assistance to the bowlers as well. Southampton is expected to witness a decent amount of showers on August 14. Most of the rain is expected to be in the early hours of the day and it may not disrupt the match.
The Rose Bowl in Southampton has been the venue for three matches in the Women’s competition. The average score in the first innings of these matches stands at 147 while the second innings score is at 141. The venue has regularly produced scores of 130+ in each innings in the last few matches.
The preference for teams at the Rose Bowl in Southampton will be to chase. The three matches at this venue in 2024 Women’s Hundred has witnessed success for the chasing team on two occasions. The Brave are yet to win when batting first compared to just once when chasing the game.
Southern Brave Women might have an excellent head-to-head record against Welsh Fire but the tables are turned for the game. The table leaders in group A head into the match with excellent form and they should be able to comfortably beat Southern Brave like they did a few weeks ago.
Our prediction is for Welsh Fire Women to win
