Southern Brave will be looking to get back to winning ways

Southern Brave will be eager to bounce back and return to winning ways after a patchy run in The Hundred 2025, particularly after two losses on the trot. The Brave have struggled to find consistency this season, with both their batting and bowling units misfiring at crucial moments. As they head into their next fixture, the focus will be on executing plans with greater discipline and intent.

Their top order, featuring James Vince and Leus du Plooy, has shown glimpses of brilliance but needs to convert starts into match-winning scores. The middle order, anchored by Jason Roy. Laurie Evans and James Coles will be expected to provide stability and acceleration when needed. On the bowling front, the likes of Jofra Archer, Tymal Mills, and Danny Briggs will be key in applying pressure and picking up timely wickets.

Team management may consider minor tactical adjustments, but the core group is likely to remain intact. With playoff spots still within reach, Southern Brave must find their rhythm quickly. A win in the upcoming clash could reignite their campaign.

Oval Invincibles will look to strengthen their table-top position

The Invincibles are heading into this contest on the back of a scintillating win over Welsh Fire in their previous fixture. The Invincibles made a mockery of Welsh Fire by defeating them by 83 runs. The team showed great character in the last game and proved their mettle to maintain their table-top position. Invincibles’ batting order was in full flow in the last game, and they will look to maintain the same heading into the game against Southern Brave.

Heading into the next game against Southern Brave, the Invincibles will be looking to extend their dominance at the top and almost confirm a spot among the top 3. Currently, they have three wins from 4 games, and they need at least 2 more wins to secure a spot among the top 3. A win in this fixture will amplify their confidence and boost their chances in this competition even more. Let’s move ahead and check the cricket tips.
