Sunrisers Leeds Women and Southern Brave Women meet in the Eliminator of The Hundred Women’s Competition 2026, with the loser’s season ending at the Kennington Oval. Both sides have strong batting names and plenty of all-round depth, which should make for a closely fought knockout.
Sunrisers Leeds are expected to be led by Danielle Gibson, with Phoebe Litchfield, Lauren Winfield-Hill, Bryony Smith and Annabel Sutherland forming a top order full of options. Deepti Sharma and Jess Jonassen add spin and middle-order experience, while Kate Cross, Cassidy McCarthy and Hannah Baker make up the bowling attack.
Southern Brave, captained by Laura Wolvaardt, have Lizelle Lee and Maia Bouchier at the top, and Sarah Glenn is the main spin threat. Issy Wong, Lauren Bell and Tilly Corteen-Coleman give them pace and new-ball options.
With a warm, dry afternoon expected and a good Oval surface, runs should come once batters are in. Our preview expects the first innings to land between 125 and 140, and a total of 135–145 would set up the side batting first well. Disciplined variations from the bowlers may be the key to restricting scoring.
