Southern Brave Women
Dominating the tournament, Southern Brave Women secured their spot at the top of the points table after the conclusion of the league games with an impressive seven wins out of eight matches, and a tally of 14 points. Their only hiccup came early in the tournament, a narrow 4-run defeat at the hands of Welsh Fire Women.
Moreover, riding on the back of stellar knocks from batting powerhouses Smriti Mandhana, Danielle Wyatt, and Maia Bouchier along with consistent performances of their bowlers Lauren Bell, captain Anya Shrubsole, and Georgia Adams, Southern Brave Women are in prime position to clinch the title.
Northern Superchargers Women
On the other hand, standing tall against them are Northern Superchargers Women, who have performed consistently and finished the league stage at the second spot on the table with five wins, two defeats, and a no result. Their journey to this decisive match was dramatic as they made it through to final after the Eliminator against Welsh Fire Women was abandoned due to rain. As they finished above Welsh, they progressed to the final.
With powerful performers like Jemimah Rodrigues, the in-form Phoebe Litchfield, and Hollie Armitage in their ranks, along with the impeccable bowling duo of Georgia Wareham and Kate Cross, the Superchargers pack a punch of their own.
