Southern Brave host Oval Invincibles in the next match of the women's Hundred 2023.
The game is due to start at 2.30pm BST on Saturday, August 19.
Southern Brave's home ground is the Ageas Bowl in Southampton.
Southern Brave sit pretty at the top of the table with five wins from six matches and are all but assured of a knockout place. They are unbeaten since their first game.
Oval Invincibles' title defence has been patchy, and they need a win to keep it alive. Oval have two wins and five points from six matches.
With the bat, the Brave top three are flying. Smriti Mandhana (224 runs at a strike rate of 137), Maia Bouchier (195 at 138) and Danni Wyatt (169 at 134) have been consistently giving their side a fast start. Oval's leading scorer is Marizanne Kapp (111 at 133).
With the ball, Georgia Adams has emerged as the surprise leader in the wicket-taking stakes across The Hundred in 2023. She has 14 scalps, at an average of 10.14 each. Kapp has shouldered the bowling responsibility as well as much of the batting, taking nine wickets and going at a miserly economy of 93 runs per 100 balls bowled over the course of the competition.
Oval Invincibles must silence the Brave top three, either when setting or chasing, or this game will get away from them incredibly quickly.
