Molineux leaves Spirit gasping
Sophie Molineux’s spell was the match’s defining act, squeezing London Spirit into survival mode and setting up a controlled chase. Spirit never truly recovered from the early damage, and even a late counterpunch couldn’t hide how hard runs were to find. Southern Brave kept their nerve to reach 115/5 in 15.3 overs, winning by five wickets with seven balls remaining.
Powerplay strangled Spirit early
The game was effectively shaped in the first phase: Spirit crawled to 11/2 in the powerplay, a start that forced them to play catch-up on a pitch where timing was scarce. With wickets down and the run rate stuck at 2.8, they couldn’t access their boundary options and were pushed into low-percentage shots later. Even though they struck 40 at 10 an over at the death, the earlier squeeze meant 114 all out in 16.4 overs was always a touch light.
Bouchier and Molineux set it up
Molineux’s 3/7 was the standout impact, repeatedly forcing miscues and killing any platform Spirit tried to build. For the chase, Maia Bouchier’s 47 (38) anchored the innings, and her 48-run partnership with Molineux gave Brave their decisive cushion. For Spirit, de Klerk’s 38 off 28 and her 2/13 kept the game alive longer than it should have, but the early batting hole proved too deep.
Brave’s edge showed in control
Pre-match, Brave were expected to have the stronger bowling and the steadier finishing, and that’s exactly how the contest unfolded. Their superior momentum translated into ruthless discipline with the ball, then calm batting through the middle when chases can wobble. Spirit did create a brief pocket of pressure with Nadine de Klerk and Marizanne Kapp picking up key wickets, but Brave’s middle-overs tempo never let the required rate spike.
