Southern Brave Women’s dream run in The Hundred Women’s 2025 came to an end when they were defeated by Northern Superchargers Women in the grand final at Lord’s by seven wickets. Brave went through the group stage unbeaten but faltered when it mattered the most, only able to post 115/6 in their 100 balls. The Brave’s batting never gained any momentum because of the early wickets. The Superchargers executed their plans with respect to their bowling and fielding plans properly, which ensured, in comparison, Brave hardly ever had a chance. A fiery chase, led by Phoebe Litchfield and sealed by Annabel Sutherland and Nicola Carey, ensured Northern lifted their maiden title with 12 balls to spare, comfortably chasing the target in 88 balls. Below are the main reasons for the Southern Brave Women defeat.

1. Brave’s below-par total—restricted to just 115 for 6

The Southern Brave struggled badly with the bat, only scoring 115/6 off of 100 balls. Some early wickets by Maia Bouchier and Danni Wyatt-Hodge hurt their momentum and got them chasing the game. Never reached any acceleration in their innings, allowing Northern to dominate the game.

2. Northern’s strong bowling and sharp fielding

The Superchargers’ bowlers executed their plans perfectly, with Kate Cross and Annabel Sutherland taking two wickets each. Their sharp fielding added pressure, highlighted by the crucial run-out of captain Georgia Adams. Brave never recovered from these setbacks.

3. Superchargers’ pacey chase powered by Litchfield, Carey & Sutherland

Northern started strongly with Phoebe Litchfield’s explosive 26 off 13 balls. A steady unbeaten stand between Sutherland (28*) and Carey (35*) then finished the job comfortably. They chased the target in just 88 balls, handing Brave a seven-wicket loss.

On Sunday, August 31, the Southern Brave Women (SOB-W) will face the Northern Superchargers Women (NOS-W) in The Hundred Women’s 2025 final at Lord’s London. The Brave are looking to win their second title after claiming victory in 2023, while the Superchargers are looking for their first title.

Brave have been the most consistent side in the competition, which will be their fourth final. They qualified directly into the final position thanks to a first-place finish in the top two of the group stage and they have shown total dominance in the championship. Northern Superchargers, meanwhile, sealed their place in the final by overcoming London Spirit in the Eliminator and will be motivated to script history by lifting their first-ever title.

Northern Superchargers Women were beaten comprehensively by Southern Brave Women, by 8 wickets, in Match 11 of The Hundred Women's 2025. The decision to bat first, however, did not pay off, as they made only 102 runs, with captain Hollie Armitage's 36 off 28 being the only positive aspect of the innings. The Brave bowlers did not give an inch, and the chase was completed in 83 balls; thus, the home side could celebrate a victory without stress. Here are the main reasons for Northern Superchargers Women’s loss:

1. Bowled out for a low total—only 102

Northern Superchargers were bowled out for just 102 runs in 100 balls after batting first. This was well short of an adequate target in The Hundred context and put pressure on their bowlers to defend a low score.

2. Impactful bowling from Southern Brave

Sophie Devine 3/15 took apart the batting order, removing the most important players at the most important times. Georgia Adams' 2/20 was of great assistance, as it not only slowed down the scoring but also led to the opponent's mistake due to the pressure applied. This combined pressure meant Northern Superchargers never built momentum in their innings.

3. Brave’s aggressive and composed chase

Danielle Wyatt's explosive 43 off 31 balls handed Brave a flying start to their innings, putting the chase in front of the game before the second wicket fell. Laura Wolvaardt was excellent as the anchor, scoring an unbeaten 33 off 29, and maintaining the pace of the innings after two wickets had fallen. Sophie Devine (15 off 8 balls) finished the job quickly, which only highlighted Brave's dominance with the bat.

The Southern Brave women are up against the Northern Superchargers women in match 11 of the Hundred Women’s 2025 at The Rose Bowl, Monday 13 August. Brave, after winning against Manchester Originals and Birmingham Phoenix, are currently at the top of the table with two victories and no defeats. Superchargers, likewise, can brag about an unblemished start to the season, twice coming out on top against Welsh Fire and Trent Rockets. Nonetheless, they will be eager to turn their negative record against the Brave on its head.
