Match Details:

Date: Monday, 18th August 2025.

Venue: The Rose Bowl, Southampton.

Start Time: 06:30 PM BST

Current Form:

Southern Brave Men:

A stop and start season for the Southern Brave Men so far, they began with two wins and have followed it up with two losses so far, as the Trent Rockets beat them in a tight game.

Tymal Mills with the ball and Leus du Plooy with the bat have been their standout performers, but they would love to have greater contributions from the rest of the team.

Oval Invincibles Men:

A loss against the Birmingham Phoenix was unexpected, but the Invincibles resumed regular programming against the Welsh Fire. Having shot up to 226/4, the highest total in the history of the Hundred.

The Invincibles have been ultra aggressive with the bat, from all the players to face 10+ balls, the lowest strike rate for any of their players is 153.75 this season.

Players to Watch:

Southern Brave Men:

Tymal Mills – the leading wicket taker for the Southern Brave, Mills has seven wickets at 14.28 and has gone at 1.42 runs per ball, despite bowling mostly at the death.

Leus du Plooy – the batter has starred with a 55 to his name and chipped in with other contributions enroute to his 128 runs in four games, averaging 42.66 while striking at 133.33.

James Coles – the youngster could be a bold call-up into the English side sooner rather than later and he has been impressive, having scored 78 runs in three innings while being dismissed just once and has struck at 130. Coles has also contributed with the ball, having taken a wicket while conceding just 1.2 runs per ball.

Oval Invincibles Men:

Jason Behrendorff – the left arm quick from Western Australia has been crucial in delivering early jolts to the opposition, Behrendorff has six wickets this season at 11.16 and a miserly economy of just 6.2.

Sam Curran – the Surrey all-rounder has been brilliant already, averaging 11.71 with the ball for his seven wickets and has scored 62 runs in three innings while striking at 167.56.
