The Hundred Women’s, 2021, Match 30, Southern Brave vs Oval Invincibles, Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match?

Preview

Southern Brave and Oval Invincibles are set to lock horns in the 30th match of the Women’s Hundred on Monday at the Rose Bowl in Southampton. The Brave, led by Anya Shrubsole, have already booked their place in the final and a loss won’t displace them from atop the points table.

However, Smriti Mandhana won’t be a part of the tournament and the Brave have roped in Ireland’s Gaby Lewis. Moreover, they could also experiment a bit going into the final.

The Invincibles, on the other hand, need a win to cement their position for the next round. They are coming off an eight-wicket win over London Spirit.

Probable best batter of the match

Danielle Wyatt— Southern Brave

Danielle Wyatt has been exceptional for the Brave in the women’s Hundred. In seven matches, the right-handed batter has notched 188 runs at an average of 31.33 and a strike rate of 137.22. However, the two half-centuries should keep her in good stead. However, she won’t be having Mandhana as her opening partner.

Probable best bowler of the match

Tash Farrant — Oval Invincibles

Tash Farrant is one of the primary reasons behind the Invincibles’ dominance in the tournament. The left-arm pacer has 12 wickets to her name from seven matches at an economy rate of 1.17. She can bowl in the first powerplay and also at the death. The speedster is again expected to deliver in the hour of need.
