The clash between Manchester Originals and Southern Braves in the 31st match of The Hundred 2023 Competition was characterized by a commanding chase that showcased the brilliance of the Braves’ all-round performance.
Originals’ Modest Total
Opting to bat first, Manchester Originals Women struggled to gather momentum, managing to post a total of 118/4 in their allocated 100 balls. Laura Wolvaardt’s patient knock of 46 runs off 39 balls and Fi Morris’s well-compiled half-century (50 off 39 balls) were the standout performances for the Originals. However, the lack of substantial contributions from other batters hindered their efforts to set a formidable target in The Hundred 2023.
The Brave bowlers executed their plans well, maintaining a disciplined line and length throughout the innings. Anya Shrubsole’s two-wicket haul played a crucial role in keeping the Originals’ scoring rate in check. The collective effort of the bowling unit ensured that the Originals’ total remained within reach.

Maia Boucher provided unwavering support to Wyatt, crafting an unbeaten knock of 47* runs off 32 balls. The duo’s partnership formed the backbone of the Braves’ chase. Their calculated aggression and sound shot selection showcased their batting prowess.
In a one-sided encounter, the Southern Braves Women secured a comprehensive eight-wicket victory over Manchester Originals Women.
