Southern Brave and Oval Invincibles are gearing up for a crucial showdown in The Hundred 2025 at The Rose Bowl, Southampton. James Vince’s Brave find themselves under pressure after a shaky start, winning two and losing two from their opening four games. Consecutive defeats to Northern Superchargers and Trent Rockets have left them desperate to rediscover winning form at home.
The Invincibles, meanwhile, arrive with momentum firmly on their side. The defending champions flexed their muscle in their last outing, blasting 226/4 against Welsh Fire before sealing an emphatic 83-run victory. With three wins and just one loss so far, they look every bit the title contenders once again.
