Pitch Report
| Details | Information |
|---|---|
| Venue | Kennington Oval, London |
| Pitch Type | Generally a good surface for batting, especially once batters adjust to the pace and bounce. Bowlers can still get rewards with disciplined new-ball bowling and changes of pace. |
| Scoring | The average first-innings total in Women’s Hundred matches at the Oval is approximately 149, compared with an average second-innings total of around 142. |
| Pace vs Spin | The Oval can offer good carry to seamers early, while slower bowling becomes useful when batters attack through the middle phase. Both teams have strong pace and spin combinations. |
| Toss Factor | One current venue-based preview lists a roughly 60% winning record for chasing teams, which makes bowling first an attractive option. |
A score around 145-155 should be competitive based on the historical Women’s Hundred scoring numbers at this venue, although the quality of both batting lineups means a higher total remains possible.

SUL vs SOB Toss Prediction
Historical results at Kennington Oval give chasing teams a slight advantage, with one current preview placing the win rate for sides batting second at around 60%. That makes bowling first the slightly safer toss option, particularly if captains want a clear target in the knockout match.
If Danielle Gibson (Sunrisers Leeds) wins the toss, expect her to seriously consider bowling first. Leeds have plenty of wicket-taking options through Kate Cross, Annabel Sutherland, Deepti Sharma and Danielle Gibson, while Phoebe Litchfield provides the batting firepower for a chase. Their latest performance also showed their depth, as Sutherland’s unbeaten 62 helped them score 166/4.
If Southern Brave win the toss, they could also choose to chase, although batting first would not be surprising. Brave successfully chased 117 against Leeds earlier this season, while Lizelle Lee, Maia Bouchier and Laura Wolvaardt give them an experienced top three.
Injury and Team News
Sunrisers Leeds Women
Sunrisers Leeds enter the Eliminator with strong momentum after beating Manchester Super Giants by 41 runs in their last league match. Annabel Sutherland produced the standout performance with an unbeaten 62 from 36 balls, while captain Danielle Gibson added 24 from 13.
Phoebe Litchfield has been the team’s most productive batter across the competition with 289 runs, while Deepti Sharma leads their bowling numbers with 12 wickets. No major fresh injury absence is highlighted in the current Eliminator squad.
Key players: Phoebe Litchfield (289 tournament runs), Annabel Sutherland (62 not out in the previous match), Deepti Sharma (12 wickets), Danielle Gibson (captain and all-rounder), Jess Jonassen (3/21 in the latest win), Lauren Winfield-Hill (wicketkeeper-batter).
Predicted Sunrisers Leeds XI: Bryony Smith, Phoebe Litchfield, Lauren Winfield-Hill (wk), Annabel Sutherland, Danielle Gibson (c), Jess Jonassen, Deepti Sharma, Darcey Carter, Kate Cross, Cassidy McCarthy, Hannah Baker.
Southern Brave Women
Southern Brave finished third after a strong start to the competition, but their form dropped towards the end of the league stage. They lost their final match against Trent Rockets despite Maia Bouchier making 38, Lizelle Lee scoring 31 and Laura Wolvaardt adding 24.
Their biggest confirmed absence is Jemimah Rodrigues, who has been ruled out of the remainder of The Hundred after suffering a hamstring injury. Australian all-rounder Charli Knott was brought in as her injury replacement. Rodrigues had scored 143 runs from six innings before the injury.
Sophie Molineux remains listed in Southern Brave’s squad for the Eliminator and is identified as captain on the current match page. However, she was on the bench for Brave’s previous game against Trent Rockets, when Laura Wolvaardt led the side. Her inclusion in the final XI is therefore one of the main selections to check at the toss.
Key players: Laura Wolvaardt (221 tournament runs), Tilly Corteen-Coleman (13 wickets), Lizelle Lee (experienced opening wicketkeeper-batter), Maia Bouchier (38 in the previous match), Lauren Bell (new-ball bowler), Charli Knott (replacement all-rounder).
Predicted Southern Brave XI: Lizelle Lee (wk), Maia Bouchier, Laura Wolvaardt, Charli Knott, Jodi Grewcock, Phoebe Franklin, Naomi Dattani, Sarah Glenn, Issy Wong, Lauren Bell, Tilly Corteen-Coleman. This mirrors their most recent XI, but Sophie Molineux could return for the Eliminator, so the confirmed lineup should be checked after the toss.
