Backing Southern Brave again today.

I’ve already put $10 on them at 62¢.

At this point it’s hard to find many weaknesses in this team. They’re unbeaten this season, haven’t lost a regular-season game since last year, and every game they seem to find a different match winner.

Their batting is stacked with Lizelle Lee, Maia Bouchier, Laura Wolvaardt, Jemimah Rodrigues and Sophie Molineux. Even if the top order doesn’t fire, there’s enough depth to recover.

Then you look at the bowling attack…

Lauren Bell, Issy Wong, Sarah Glenn and Tilly Corteen-Coleman is about as complete as it can get. They’re capable of defending totals or restricting teams while chasing.

On the other side, Welsh Fire have another problem to deal with after losing Sophie Devine for the rest of the tournament. That’s a huge loss in both experience and quality, especially against a top and a strongest side in the competition.

Brave also won the toss and elected to bat first, which I think suits them. Put runs on the board, then let that bowling attack do the rest. If anything, they'd love to see batting unit fire collectively and post massive total, as they pretty sure are gearing towards finals. 

Nothing is guaranteed in short formats like The Hundred, but this is probably one of my favorite Women’s Hundred spots so far.

Anyone else backing Brave? 

Southern Brave are starting to feel like the safest play in The Hundred Women’s
