Southern Brave maintained their unbeaten streak in The Hundred women's competition with a 24-run victory over Birmingham Phoenix at the Utilita Bowl. The Hundred leaders secured their fourth consecutive win as bottom-placed Phoenix could not reach the target of 141, ending their innings at 116-5.

Brave's openers, Maia Bouchier (45) and Lizelle Lee (43), established a strong 68-run partnership. Despite a slow start from Laura Wolvaardt, Jemimah Rodrigues contributed an unbeaten 18, helping Brave post 140-3.

Phoenix openers Davina Perrin (52) and Tammy Beaumont (22) provided a solid start with a 73-run partnership, but their dismissal, followed by those of Alice Capsey and Perrin, stalled the chase. Captain Molineux (2-24) took two crucial wickets, and economical bowling from Lauren Bell and Tilly Corteen-Coleman sealed the win for Brave.

Southern Brave now lead the table by six points, while Birmingham Phoenix remain at the bottom.
