Southern Brave Women take on Birmingham Phoenix Women in Match 13 of The Hundred 2026 at The Rose Bowl in Southampton. Table-toppers Southern Brave arrive in scintillating form, riding high on composed team performances under captain Sophie Molineux. Their batting lineup boasts impressive quality with dynamic openers Lizelle Lee and Maia Bouchier set to establish early momentum, while Laura Wolvaardt and Jemimah Rodrigues offer stability in the middle order. Backed by a disciplined bowling attack featuring skipper Molineux, pace options Lauren Bell and Issy Wong, and leg-spinner Sarah Glenn, the Brave look remarkably balanced on home turf.

On the other hand, Ellyse Perry‘s Birmingham Phoenix Women are eager to bounce back after a difficult start to their tournament. Seeking to reignite their campaign, Phoenix will lean heavily on captain Perry’s big-match expertise alongside destructive top-order talents Tammy Beaumont and Alice Capsey. Their bowling group, anchored by Australian leg-spinner Alana King and English fast bowler Lauren Filer, must strike early to dismantle Southern Brave’s top order. With the Southampton surface historically offering good carry and assistance for spinners, an intriguing battle lies ahead as Phoenix aim to pull off a clinical performance against the host side.

The Rose Bowl Pitch Report

The pitch at The Rose Bowl in Southampton generally offers a balanced contest between bat and ball. Early on, seamers usually find decent carry and movement with the new ball, making the powerplay crucial for batters to play with controlled aggression. As the match progresses, the surface settles down, allowing stroke-makers to score freely through the line. However, as the pitch dries out under the sun, spinners come into play during the middle overs, extracting useful turn and bounce. Team winning the toss might prefer to bowl first to capitalize on any early pitch moisture and set a clear chase target.
