Southern Brave Women vs Manchester Super Giants Women, THWC, Today Match Prediction

SBW vs MSG-W Match Prediction & Analysis

The Rose Bowl in Southampton will be ready to host one of the most anticipated games of the season. Second-placed Southern Brave Women will face the third-placed Manchester Super Giants Women at The Rose Bowl, Southampton, on 8th August, from 7 PM IST. A win over MSG Women can help Southern Brave Women to regain the number one position. On the other hand, MSG Women can confirm their knockout birth with a win. 

Southern Brave Women have registered 5 wins in 6 games so far. The sharp bowling lineup claiming 60% of the available wickets is one of the key reasons for them to win 5 games in a row. But the next two games will test them. They will face MSG Women (3rd) and Trent Rockets Women (1st). For starters, two of the top three leading wicket-takers are from SB Women.

Manchester Super Giants Women will have a herculean task to beat SB Women at their home. MSG Women have three wins and 2 losses in 6 games played so far. The slump in the batting order has derailed their bowling team’s efforts. They have three bowlers in the squad with an economy of less than 5.  Both teams had played a game against each other in the last season. Lauren Bell’s 3 followed by Mady Villiers’ 2, helped SB Women restrict MSG Women to 95 for the loss of 8 wickets. Laura Wolvaardt’s 42 then helped SB Women to register a 6-wicket win.
