OVIW vs SBW Final Match Prediction

OVIW vs SBW Team Previews

Oval Invincibles Women

One of the key components of the Oval Invincibles team is their skipper Suzie Bates. She will be proud of the way her side has performed in the competition. Apart from a single loss against the Southern Brave team, her team has a clean record during the season. The Invincibles batters did a proficient job and the bowlers succeeded in outperforming the opponents easily. Bates will be keen to see her team members shine brightly to try and get hold of a second title in a row in the women's Hundred 2022.

Apart from Suzie Bates another player that has done a fantastic job is Lauren Winfield-Hill. The Invincibles team management will be expecting a solid start from these in-form batters in the final. The other members of the batting line-up that will be keen to make a mark in the final are Alice Capsey, Mady Villiers, and Marizanne Kapp. These batters make for a powerful middle order for the Invincibles. The management will be keen to get more runs out of some other crucial players in the line-up such as Kira Chathli and Emily Windsor in the lower middle order.

Oval Invincibles has a powerful bowling attack with bowlers such as Sophia Smale and Shabnim Ismail opening their bowling attack. The team will be expecting early wickets from these two bowlers. Another bowler that has been consistent during the season is Kapp. She will be looking to strike in the middle overs of the innings. You can also expect other bowlers to contribute such as Ryana McDonald Gay, Mady Villiers, and Eva Gray.

Southern Brave Women

The Southern Brave for women is led by Anya Shrubsole this year. The Shrubsole-led team survived a big score against Trent Rockets women's team and managed to hold its act together, in the end, to win by a wafer-thin margin of 2 runs. This was the game they played for an entry into the finals. The team nearly faced heartbreak in the last 4 balls of the match. In the end, they held on to winning the game on the last ball of the match. The Brave will be looking to avoid a poor performance they endured in the final of Women's Hundred 2021.

Some of the Southern Brave side's key players missed out in the last couple of games. They are Smriti Mandhana and Danielle Wyatt. This pair will be looked upon to come good in the crunch game and deliver for their team. But the batters that did well in the qualifier for the finals were Maia Bouchier and Tahlia McGrath. They have to develop partnerships with other batters such as Sophia Dunkley. Georgia Adams played a crucial knock in the last match. She will be confident to do well in the final as a result. She needs to add some quick runs in the later stages of the innings with Freya Adams and Carla Rudd.

As far as the Southern Brave bowling unit is concerned, their main bowlers Anya Shrubsole and Lauren Bell are in good nick. They need to come good in the finals as well for the side to harbor hopes of beating the Invincibles at Lord's. They also have the season's leading wicket-taker in their ranks in the form of Wellington. She will have a significant role to play in this match. Other bowlers that are expected to support these frontline bowlers are Adams, Freya Kemp, and Tahlia McGrath.
