Southern Brave Women edge MI London Women in last‑ball thriller

Southern Brave Women continued their unbeaten run in The Hundred women's competition, defeating MI London Women by a single run in a dramatic finish. After posting 126‑7, the Brave needed to defend a narrow margin as MI London required eight runs off the final five balls. Lauren Bell kept her composure, bowling the final over and ensuring MI London fell short by one run, securing the Brave's third consecutive win and keeping them atop the standings.

Key performances included Laura Wolvaardt's 35 runs for the Brave and Hayley Matthews' four wickets for 22 runs. MI London were buoyed by Danni Wyatt‑Hodge's unbeaten 52, but the chase stalled after a late surge from Matthews and a disciplined spell from Bell. The result leaves MI London winless after three matches, while Southern Brave remain the only unbeaten side in the tournament.
