Southern Brave Women vs Birmingham Phoenix Women Prediction – The Hundred 13th Match

Southern Brave Women face Birmingham Phoenix Women in the 13th match of The Hundred Women’s Competition 2026 at the Rose Bowl, Southampton, on Thursday 30 July. The game starts at 3:00 pm local time.

Brave are led by Sophie Molineux and have a top order of Maia Bouchier, wicketkeeper Lizelle Lee, Laura Wolvaardt and Jemimah Rodrigues. Jodi Grewcock and Naomi Dattani provide middle-order options, while Sarah Glenn, Issy Wong, Lauren Bell and Tilly Corteen-Coleman make up a varied attack.

Phoenix are captained by Ellyse Perry and feature Tammy Beaumont, Emma Lamb, Davina Perrin and Alice Capsey in the batting, with Fatima Sana and Phoebe Brett as all-rounders. Alana King, Lauren Filer, Linsey Smith and Eva Gray share the bowling duties.

A dry afternoon and a fast outfield suit stroke-makers, but the larger boundaries put a premium on timing and partnerships. Seamers could find early movement, so the powerplay may decide the game. We expect Southern Brave Women to come through.

Probable playing XI

Pitch report

The Rose Bowl is generally a balanced surface for batters and bowlers. Fast bowlers often get early swing and seam, especially under overcast English skies, which makes the powerplay important. The pitch then settles and offers consistent bounce, while spinners can influence the middle overs as it slows, using variations and cutters. For women’s white-ball cricket, the large square boundaries make clearing the rope harder than at smaller grounds.

Weather

Thursday afternoon is expected to be pleasant and dry, with temperatures around 25–26°C at 3:00 pm and partly sunny skies. There is only a 2% chance of rain, and a light breeze of 10–15 km/h may give seamers a touch of help early on. Minimal dew is expected.

Expected scores

• 1st innings: 125–140
• 2nd innings: 120–135
