Scorecard<\/a>. Table<\/a><\/p>\n Southern Brave continued their unbeaten run with an 24-run win over Birmingham Phoenix at the Utilita Bowl.<\/p>\n The Hundred leaders completed their fourth consecutive victory as bottom side Phoenix failed to chase a target of 141, finishing on 116-5.<\/p>\n Brave openers Maia Bouchier (45) and Lizelle Lee (43) shared a 68-run partnership after their side was put into bat.<\/p>\n Laura Wolvaardt made an uncustomarily slow 11 from 15 deliveries before being stumped off Alana King, but Jemimah Rodrigues struck an unbeaten 18 as Brave closed on 140-3.<\/p>\n Phoenix openers Davina Perrin and Tammy Beaumont set a reasonable platform, putting on 73 before Beaumont was caught for 22 by Rodrigues off the bowling of Tilly Corteen-Coleman.<\/p>\n The dismissal, shortly after the halfway mark of the innings, stalled the Phoenix chase and matters were made worse when Alice Capsey (eight) and Perrin, who made a 43-ball 52, were caught off Lauren Bell and Sarah Glenn.<\/p>\n Home captain Molineux (2-24) removed Annerie Dercksen and Jemima Spence with consecutive deliveries, while England bowlers Bell (1-16) and Corteen-Coleman (1-19) were economical as Phoenix’s challenge petered out.<\/p>\n Brave are now six points clear of second-placed Manchester Super Giants, while Phoenix remain bottom with two wins and a no result from three matches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Hundred women’s competition, Utilita Bowl Southern Brave 140-3 (100 balls): Bouchier 45 (31); Filer 1-22 Birmingham Phoenix…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":719643,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-719642","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/719642","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=719642"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/719642\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/719643"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=719642"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=719642"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=719642"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
