The Hundred Womens 2023 (Aug 1- Aug 27)

[NYRB]

Fire for abit short last night in a bit of a dead rubber for them.




Brave can afford to lose today against Manchester but not too heavy a defeat to cement their spot in the Final .

 

[NYRB]

Game 31:

Manchester Originals Women (Playing XI): Emma Lamb, Laura Wolvaardt, Deandra Dottin, Fi Morris, Amara Carr, Kathryn Bryce, Amanda-Jade Wellington, Eleanor Threlkeld(w/c), Katie George, Mahika Gaur, Phoebe Graham

Southern Brave Women (Playing XI): Smriti Mandhana, Danielle Wyatt, Maia Bouchier, Georgia Adams, Freya Kemp, Chloe Tryon, Maitlan Brown, Kalea Moore, Anya Shrubsole(c), Rhianna Southby(w), Lauren Bell

Southern Brave Women have won the toss and have opted to field

 

[NYRB]

Bit of an overcast day in Manchester

 

[NYRB]

Average Powerplay here from 8 games (non rain affected ) here at Manchester in the womens game is 30.13 runs

 

[NYRB]

back to back boundaries for Fi Morris

 

[NYRB]

Manchester are 32/1 off 25 against the Brave

 

[NYRB]

Manchester post 118 . and Brave have pulled this back big time.

 

[NYRB]

if Brave post 112 runs, they top the group

 

[NYRB]

I dont reckon Wolvaardt is cut out for the short ball formats of this game especially T20. She just simply doesnt have enough power in her game. She is the Labuschagne equivalent when transferring from red ball to white ball.

 

[NYRB]

Ecclestone in tears today because she did her shoulder.

 

[NYRB]

No team in the Womens Hundred should pick up Wolvaardt next year. She is plain horrible.

 

[NYRB]

Bouchier and Wyatt are making Wolvaardt innings look even more hopeless.

 

[NYRB]

The Southern Brave Women are absolutely toying with Manchester today. Absolutely toying with em.

 

[NYRB]

Maia Bouchier finishes off and the Brave were dominant winning with 28 balls to spare against Manchester.

If your a Manchester fan , you would be highly disappointed with the 2023 campaign.

Brave are in the big dance on Sunday. And they very much deserve to be there.

 

[NYRB]

Maia Bouchier has to be one of the biggest improvers in this Hundred.

 

[NYRB]

London Spirit Women (Playing XI): Grace Harris, Danielle Gibson, Melie Kerr, Sophie Luff, Richa Ghosh(w), Grace Scrivens, Sarah Glenn, Charlotte Dean(c), Sophie Munro, Tara Norris, Lauren Filer

Birmingham Phoenix Women (Playing XI): Sophie Devine, Evelyn Jones(c), Amy Jones(w), Erin Burns, Tess Flintoff, Abigail Freeborn, Sterre Kalis, Issy Wong, Emily Arlott, Charis Pavely, Katie Levick

Birmingham Phoenix Women have won the toss and have opted to field in the final regulation match of 2023 before the Finals.

 

[NYRB]

Can the Phoenix manage to notch their 1st win of the campaign?

 

[NYRB]

Real basement battle between 7th and 8th today.

 

[NYRB]

4 Australians playing today between Spirit and the Phoenix today.

 

[NYRB]

Grace Harris brings up her 50 in 31 balls in the last game of the campaign.

 

[NYRB]

Some real clinical hitting from Grace Harris here.


Harris finished with 87 from 47 balls


Great innings


London Spirit with 172 and that will probably be too steep for Birmingham here.

 

[NYRB]

And Sophie Devine has to go in the 1st set.

 

[NYRB]

Birmingham Phoenix having a nightmare season and they will be glad this season is done and dusted.

 

[NYRB]

Phoenix bowled out for under 100.


Kerr gets 4 wickets.

 

[corbies]

NYRB absolutely flying at 172/2. I could be the partnership breaker though.
