Manchester Originals Women will play against Southern Brave Women in Match 2 of The Hundred Women's 2025 at Old Trafford, Manchester. The Originals had a mixed season last year after a good start with two wins and quickly fell to sixth place after consecutive losses. Laura Wolvaardt, who is now at Southern Brave, was their leading run-scorer and was then closely followed by Beth Mooney. Kathryn Bryce did well with the ball, finishing as their highest wicket taker and a standout player among associate nations.

Southern Brave Women had a very bad 2024 season that saw them ending up in the last place in the standings. One positive from the big negative was that Danielle Wyatt-Hodge was a key performer, scoring 227 runs at a strike rate of 130. Though the bowling was generally inconsistent, Lauren Bell still managed to get 9 wickets, and Lauren Cheatle contributed with 7 wickets at an economy of only 5.2. The Brave will be looking forward to a fresh start and great performance from Wolvaardt and other returning stars, as they would want to be at their best to cause maximum damage in the 2025 season.
