Brave survive the last over

Southern Brave’s win was sealed in the final exchanges, when MI London needed only a handful but couldn’t land the decisive blow before the innings ended at 16.4 overs. Danni Wyatt-Hodge had carried the chase into the closing stretch, yet the last few balls became a scramble rather than a finish. Brave, under pressure after losing late wickets with the bat, still found just enough composure to squeeze home by 1 run.

Matthews flips the middle

The game’s hinge was the middle-to-death transition of Brave’s innings. After a quiet powerplay (22/1), Laura Wolvaardt and Jemimah Rodrigues added a crucial 60 to lift them to 84/2 through the middle overs, but Hayley Matthews then tore the momentum away. Her 4/22 meant Brave limped through the death at 5.0 an over, losing four wickets for 20, and turning a platform into a total MI London could realistically hunt down.

Wolvaardt-Rodrigues set it up

Wolvaardt’s 36 off 30 and Rodrigues’ 32 off 22 were the innings’ stabilisers, giving Brave something to defend after Matthews’ spell. For MI London, Wyatt-Hodge’s 52 off 42 was the best hand in the chase, but she didn’t get enough support at the death. Matthews was the standout overall: her four-for nearly decided it, only for Brave’s late control to steal the last run.

Form held, but barely

Pre-match, Brave’s stronger recent results and head-to-head edge suggested they’d handle key moments better, and that largely played out in the chase. MI London started cleaner (27/0 in the powerplay) and built a 67-run stand, but the tempo never spiked late. With the target within reach, Brave’s bowlers forced Wyatt-Hodge and company into singles and risk, and the chase finished with runs still required.
