The Hundred: Southern Brave dominate Invincibles to maintain flawless start

Southern Brave closed out a dominant 89-run victory over Oval Invincibles at the Utilita Bowl to extend their 100 per cent record in the women's Hundred to five matches and move them top of the table.

Having been put into bat, Brave soon set about the Invincibles' attack, with openers Maia Bouchier (34) and Danni Wyatt-Hodge (26) taking the score on to 81-2 off 55 balls.

Laura Wolvaardt added a swift 36, including five boundaries, and Freya Kemp made 24 off just 11 balls - smashing two sixes - as the Brave reached 161-6. Phoebe Franklin claimed two wickets from her 20 deliveries.

Aiming for what would have been the highest run chase in the women's Hundred, the Invincibles were soon two batters down.

Sophie Devine bowled Meg Lanning (two) and then also had captain Lauren Winfield-Hill (10) caught by Georgia Adams at mid-off.

Alice Capsey (seven) edged behind from Lauren Bell to leave the Invincibles in deep trouble at 28-3 - with Paige Scholfield swiftly following next ball for a golden duck.

Brave continued to take regular wickets as the Invincibles collapsed to 72 all out from 83 balls, slipping to the heaviest defeat in the women's tournament.

Australian Amanda-Jade Wellington finished unbeaten on a run-a-ball 18, while Mady Villiers claimed three wickets.

The Hundred continues on Tuesday with Trent Rockets hosting the Manchester Originals in a women's and men's double-header - at 3pm and 6.30pm - live on SportNews.

Watch every match across the women's and men's competitions live on SportNews from August 5-31.
