Southern Brave Women vs Welsh Fire Women Preview: The caravan of The Hundred 2026 carries on after the first day of the tournament saw the SunRisers Leeds Women convincingly beat MI London Women at The Kia Oval in London on July 21, Tuesday. The action will continue with the Southern Brave locking horns against the Welsh Fire on July 22, Wednesday at the Utilita Bowl in Southampton.
Australia’s newest World Cup-winning captain Sophie Molineux will return to lead the Southern Brave that has some tailormade T20 batters like Laura Woolvardt, Jemimah Rodrigues, Lizelle Lee, Rebecca Odgers and Maia Bouchier. At the same time, Brave’s bowling unit is equally stacked with stars like Lauren Bell, Issy Wong, Ellie Anderson. Hence, they look like the side that most teams will be wary of especially due to Molineux’s shrewd leadership. Meanwhile, Welsh Fire will be captained by the recently-retired Sophie Devine and they have some crafty run-scorers like Georgia Voll, Sarah Bryce, Heather Graham, Freya Kemp and Georgia Wareham. Nevertheless, their bowling unit will depend largely on Sophia Smale, Grace Potts and Fi Morris.
