MI London Women vs Southern Brave Women Live ஸ்கோர், Match 9 of The Hundred Women, 2026

On to the men - A fourth straight win for Southern Brave against MI London in the women’s competition, and a third straight defeat of the season for Hollie Armitage’s side. There is more to come from Southampton as we now shift focus to the men’s action. You can switch tabs and follow the action from that contest. See you there.

Earlier in the game - After Brave were asked to bat first, Maia Bouchier started promisingly, but it remained just that, with her unable to convert it into a substantial score. Jemimah Rodrigues, as always, was busy from the moment she arrived at the crease, while Laura Wolvaardt struggled for fluency early on before finding her rhythm, only for her stay to be cut short. Brave had laid the platform to conjure up the desired finish, but the absence of a set batter at the back end hurt them. They managed just 22 runs in the final 25 balls while losing five wickets and had to settle for 126.

Brave ace another defence - Chasing 127 was never going to be as straightforward as it might have seemed, given Southern Brave's prowess with the ball and the fact that the boundaries had been pushed back for this game. Danni Wyatt-Hodge was starved of the strike during the Powerplay and for much of the first half of the innings. She eventually found her rhythm, and the arrival of Hollie Armitage helped ease some of the pressure off her. The equation came down to 18 needed from the final 15 balls with 8 wickets in hand. But they managed just one boundary from that point onwards, and it simply wasn't enough. Brave's bowlers held their nerve superbly at the death, closing out another outstanding defence to seal the win.

PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Jemimah Rodrigues has been given the award for her knock of 32 runs off 22 balls. Jemimah starts by talking about the team and says that they somehow just manage to keep a calm head during tough times. Reckons that the surface was a bit tough to bat on but feels that the bowlers really did the job for them. On the dropped catch, she says that she had it in her grasp and just couldn't hold on, and reckons that sometimes catches like that one stick, and sometimes they don't.

Brave have done it again - They defended 126 in the campaign opener against Welsh Fire, and they have defended 126 once again. That's now three wins on the trot for Southern Brave, extending their league-stage winning streak to 11 matches, a run that started last season.

Can you believe it? The Brave have done it again. This team simply doesn't lose and Southern Brave Women manage to pip MI London Women by 1 run. A full toss from Bell, on the pads. Danni Wyatt-Hodge comes down the track and heaves it through mid-wicket and there's not much timing on it. Jemimah Rodrigues is quick to come in from the deep and fires in an accurate throw to the bowler. Bell collects it calmly and it will only be two runs.

SAFE! How costly is that fumble from Lizelle Lee going to be? If she collects it cleanly, Danni Wyatt-Hodge is gone and MI have to hit a six to win the game, but now, a four will do it for the visitors. Pace off from Bell again, outside off. Wyatt-Hodge comes down the track and hits it wide of deep cover. The batters scamper through for the second run as the fielder fires it in towards the keeper. It is a difficult one to take on the half-volley and Lee fumbles, allowing Danni to just make it back. FIFTY for Wyatt-Hodge as well, but she isn't bothered one bit and has eyes on the prize now.

Has Danni Wyatt-Hodge made it in? Lizelle Lee appears to have made a mess of it, and her reaction suggests she knows it.

Slower one from around the stumps, on a good length. Nicola Carey backs away but has to make her own pace as she slaps it through covers for another single.

Back of a length and on off, slower again. Wyatt-Hodge backs away and cuts it hard to deep point. Just a single. 7 needed now off 3 balls.

Should have gone for the single there. Slower one, full and on leg. Danni Wyatt-Hodge waits well and looks to heave it leg side but gets an inside edge behind. Lizelle Lee dives to her left and makes a half stop as the batters don't even try to go for the single.

Lauren Bell has been handed the task of bowling the final set. She has 7 runs to defend. Just a reminder, if the scores are level at the end of the 100 balls, there is no Super Five in the league stage. The match will finish as a tie, with both teams sharing the points.

Dragged length wide outside off, Carey comes down the pitch, swatting it square through covers for one. She looks for two but is sent back by her partner. 8 needed now off the final set.

FOUR! Carey just about manages to get some bat on it, and this could be a crucial boundary. Sophie Molineux goes for the straight yorker again and gets it nearly spot-on. Carey shuffles to the off side and inside-edges the sweep just past the leg stump and the ball rolls away into the fine leg fence.

Good innovation from Carey. Floated up on the pads, Carey goes for the reverse sweep and gets it just over the point region for a couple of runs.

Another huge cheer from the crowd as it is another dot ball. Full and straight, fired in at the stumps. Nicola Carey can only manage to jam it out.

The new batter is the left-handed Nicola Carey.

OUT! CLEANED HER UP! The skipper backs herself and does the job for her side, at least for now. Speared in with the arm, yorker length and this one just darts back into the stumps. Chinelle Henry hangs back and the ball sneaks under the willow, making a mess of the stumps behind. MI London are now 112/3.

It is getting tense. Sophie Molineux to bowl the penultimate set.

That's a fine final set from Wong. Yet another knuckleball, bowled on a hard length around middle. Henry swings across the line but miscues it through mid on for one. 15 needed now off 10 balls.

Another knuckleball from Wong, bowled back of a length and around off. Henry looks to cut but chops it back onto the deck. There's also a huge cheer from the home crowd.

Marginally short on middle, swung away off the back foot down to wide long on for a single.

Good bowling. Another slower one, on a good length and angled well into the batter. Danni Wyatt-Hodge looks to make room and play it on the off side but gets cramped for room and fails to get it away.

The knuckleball ends up being a full toss on middle and it dips as well. Chinelle Henry clips it to deep mid-wicket and picks up a single.

Chinelle Henry walks in ahead of Amelia Kerr. Issy Wong comes back on.

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! They simply had to have a look. Nicely tossed up, wide outside off, Hollie Armitage reaches for it and looks to go over covers. The ball grips and turns away with some extra bounce, just beating the outside edge. Lizelle Lee pouches it well and appeals for a caught behind, but it is turned down. The review is taken and UltraEdge shows a feather of an outside edge. Excellent from Lee and is there a late twist in the tale? 18 needed now from 15 balls.

Was there an edge? The umpire's finger has stayed down, but there was noise. It has been sent upstairs by Sophie Molineux. The UltraEdge comes up with a scratch, and the on-field decision will have to be overturned.

The googly now, around off, and punched away towards cover for a single.

FOUR! Making great use of the bottom hand. Flatter and fuller on off, Wyatt-Hodge steps out and smacks it back over the bowler's head for a boundary down to long off. Danni has done well to accelerate in the last few sets.

Shorter in length, over off and middle. Wyatt-Hodge rocks back and shovels the short-arm pull wide of long on. The batters push hard for two and a weak throw at the keeper's end allows them to do so with ease.
