The Hundred Women’s Competition 2026 continues with an exciting contest between Southern Brave Women and Birmingham Phoenix Women in Match 13 on July 30, 2026 (Thursday). The match is scheduled to begin at 7:30 PM IST. Southern Brave have made an excellent start to the competition, winning all three of their matches and sitting at the top of the points table with 12 points. Birmingham Phoenix, meanwhile, have two points from two matches and will be looking to produce a strong performance against the table-toppers.
Southern Brave Women have been one of the strongest teams in the competition so far. They began their campaign with an eight-run victory over Welsh Fire before defeating Sunrisers Leeds by five wickets. They then edged MI London by just one run in a thrilling contest. With Laura Wolvaardt and Maia Bouchier providing quality at the top of the order and Lauren Bell and Tilly Corteen-Coleman leading the bowling attack, Brave have plenty of match-winners in their squad.
Birmingham Phoenix Women have had a more difficult start. Their opening match against Trent Rockets ended in a nine-wicket defeat, while their next game against Manchester Super Giants was abandoned without a ball being bowled. Ellyse Perry and Emma Lamb remain important batting options, while Alana King and Phoebe Brett will be expected to lead the bowling attack. Phoenix will need a much-improved performance if they are to challenge the unbeaten Brave side.
