The fifth game of the Women’s Hundred 2023 will see the Southern Brave Women play against the Welsh Fire Women at The Rose Bowl in Southampton on August 4. The Southern Brave Women got off to a winning start to the competition. They took on the Trent Rockets Women in their first game and beat them convincingly. They will be looking to carry forward the winning momentum as well. After being asked to bat first, the Southern Brave Women posted 157 courtesy of a brilliant 55 from Smriti Mandhana at the top of the order. The bowlers then stepped up and restricted the Rockets Women to 130/7 and won the game by 27 runs, with Mary Taylor finishing with three wickets as well.
The Welsh Fire Women, on the other hand, didn’t get to play as the rain played spoilsport. They were scheduled to take on Manchester Originals Women in their first game but persistent rain washed out the match as both sides shared a point each as well. Tammy Beaumont will be hoping to smash the opponents as well.
