A top of the table clash
In the women’s half of the competition, the two sides currently sit first and second in the standings making for an interesting match set to play out. Both sides have only lost the one match so far which could set off fireworks during the match.
Southern Brave could clinch an Eliminators spot with a win
A first team in the Eliminators?
A win for the Southern Brave could all but confirm their passage through to at least the Eliminators with two games to go. If they win, they would sit on 10 points with a fourth placed side on 6. This means they would only fall out of that top three with two loses and a swing on their net run-rate.

Entertainment at the venue
Between all the cricketing action is some fantastic entertainment on show in Southampton. Singer-songwriter Baby Queen will be performing live for the crowd with hits such as American Dream. It is sure to make for a great atmosphere!

The fight for third
On the men’s half, it is a very open contest in the battle for the Eliminators. A single point separates both of these teams from third place with both sides knowing a win could put them into that bracket, even if only temporarily.

International stars
From England star Adil Rashid to South African batter Faf Du Plessis, there is plenty of international experience on show. The destructive Jemimah Rodrigues is sure to put on another great show with the bat after her last few big scores and Linsey Smith has been putting on an impressive display with her bowling.
Jemimah Rodrigues enjoys her second Match Hero award
England bowler and Brave captain Anya Shrubsole may impress yet again whilst Smriti Mandhana has a chance to build on her impressive scores with the bat. James Vince has come off the back of a great score with England and the Brave captain could be set to do the same again whilst all-rounder Colin de Grandhomme could impress with both bat and ball for his side.
