that will be that! Another clinical win, and the Southern Brave make it three wins out of three! Slower ball on a full length on the stumps. Wolvaardt clips it past mid wicket and remains unbeaten at the end - not for the first time this season, and perhaps not for the last time either!
N S-Chargers vs Brave, 11th Match at Southampton, Women's Hundred, Aug 13 2025 - Match Result
2:06pm That will be all from us for this game. But there is loads of Hundred action lined up, with two games kicking off in less than an hour from now. You can follow the men's match here, and the women's game here. Until next time, from Raghav, Ranjith and myself (Shashwat), this is goodbye!
Sophie Devine, Player of the Match: (On her experience at the Brave so far) Been outstanding, fantastic group to be a part of. The support we have had has been exceptional - nice to have a couple of wins here. (On the conditions) We were in two minds as well: used wicket, overhead conditions. The great thing about this competition is being able to play to your home conditions. Credit to everyone. We adapted well. They (Wyatt-Hodge and Wolvaardt) made it look like a better wicket than it was. (On bowling the slower balls) We spoke about it after the last game we played here, but also looking at the strength of the opposition batters, knowing that they like pace on. To be able to vary your pace on a wicket like that, it paid dividends. (On Wolvaardt and paying with her) She makes the game look extremely easy. She is one of the nicest players to watch - she is complete class. To play alongside her and chat cricket, is exceptional, and that is the great thing (about competitions such as this) - you get to mix (and play) with players (from different countries). The way she (Wolvaardt) has been striking the ball, along with Danni, has been outstanding and fingers crossed (they can keep doing it).
1:58pm Another commanding display by the Southern Brave. Their bowlers were excellent to set the game up, and their batters followed suit. Bouchier struggled, but the rest did not, and it was a clinic on how to adapt to the conditions. Wyatt-Hodge starred with a 31-ball 43, and Wolvaardt was not shabby either, returning an unbeaten 33. Devine got a couple of hits away too, and that might help her moving forward as well.
A tough outing for the Superchargers, who arrived boasting a 2-0 record this season. Their bowlers did not bowl badly, but they did not threaten enough either, which, more or less, was down to the lack of runs on the board. They now have a day to regroup, before going at it again on Friday against the Birimingham Phoenix.

Fraser gets the better of Wyatt-Hodge on debut! Flighted up beautifully on a full length outside off. Wyatt-Hodge skips down, trying to go inside-out. For a change, though, she does not make any contact and only swishes at thin air. Heath collects calmly and then takes off the bails, with Wyatt-Hodge unable to drag her bat back into her crease. Another vital knock, though, and it has set the Brave on their way to another win!
