Southern Brave Women (SOB-W) will play against Welsh Fire Women (WEF-W) in their last league-stage encounter of The Hundred Women’s 2025 at The Rose Bowl, Southampton, on Thursday, August 28. The top of the table is very likely that they will be looking to keep their unbeaten run going, whereas Fire will play for pride.

With a direct place in the final already sealed, they will look to close out the group stage with another victory and carry their dominant momentum into the title clash. On the other hand, Welsh Fire have had a miserable campaign with just one win from seven games. Even though a victory won’t lift them off the bottom, they will aim to give their fans a reason to smile in their last outing.
