Southern Brave vs Oval Invincibles Preview:
Southern Brave( SB ) is set to face Oval Invincibles( OI ) in their 19th match during The Hundred Mens Competition 2025. This match is scheduled to take place at the The Rose Bowl on Monday, August 18.
Southern Brave scored 139/5 in their last home game against Northern Superchargers on Wednesday evening. For much of the match, it looked like they might secure a win, but they fell just short, suffering their second consecutive defeat of the season.
The top three—Leus du Plooy, James Vince, and Jason Roy—managed only 17 runs combined, despite being experienced white-ball players. They’ll be eager to make amends in this clash. With a deep batting lineup, Brave are capable of posting runs at a steady rate throughout their innings. Du Plooy, who top-scored with 55 in Nottingham on Saturday, will be crucial again.
On the bowling side, Jordan Thompson and Tymal Mills will aim to continue their strong form from the previous match, with Jofra Archer expected to make an impact with the new ball.
Oval Invincibles, meanwhile, have built their reputation on scoring quickly across their innings and are likely to do the same against Brave. Any of their top eight batters can turn the game in their favor, highlighted by Jordan Cox’s remarkable 86 not out from just 29 balls against Welsh Fire on Saturday, which included ten sixes and three fours. Will Jacks, Tawanda Muyeye, and Sam Curran also contributed 30+ runs each.
With the ball, Jason Behrendorff (3/20) and Tom Curran (4/15) led the attack, while only Nathan Sowter went wicketless among the six-man bowling unit. Overall, Oval Invincibles boast the strongest squad in the competition, combining firepower with depth in both batting and bowling.
SB vs OI Possible Playing XI:

SB vs OI Pitch Report:
The Rose Bowl in Southampton is known for its batting-friendly conditions, especially in the first innings where the pitch offers true bounce and good carry, allowing stroke-makers to play their shots freely. Seamers can find some early swing, particularly under overcast skies, but as the match progresses, the surface tends to slow down, bringing spinners and slower bowlers into play. In T20s, teams batting first generally have the advantage, with scores of 170–180 considered par and anything above 190 proving very difficult to chase. Winning the toss and opting to bat first is often the preferred strategy, as setting a big total here can put the opposition under immense pressure.
SB vs OI Weather Report:
On Monday, August 18, 2025, at 6:30 PM, The Rose Bowl in Southampton is expected to experience a warm and mostly cloudy evening.
