yes, she can! A bit streaky but it gets the job done! Banged into the track on middle and leg. Tryon has a swipe at it and the ball skews off the top edge, trickling into the fine leg fence to send Southern Brave to the top of the table!
N S-Chargers vs Brave, 8th Match at Southampton, Women's Hundred, Aug 06 2023 - Ball by Ball Commentary
1:25pm Right. That will be that from us for this game. Thanks for tuning in and hope you enjoyed our coverage as much as we loved bringing it to you. Do keep an eye out for the remaining fixtures today, with two of those slated to get underway in a little more than an hour. Until next time, this is me (Shashwat) saying goodbye on behalf of Vairavan and everyone else at ESPNcricinfo. Take care!
1:15pm A largely dominant display by the Southern Brave, barring the little wobble at the end of their run-chase. Their bowlers set up the game before their top three broke the back of the run-chase. They will be a little worried with what transpired in the middle overs but that aside, this was a display that showed why they are favourites to win the entire thing.
As for the Superchargers, well, there is lots to ponder. Their batting seems a little dependent on their foreign imports, and with both of them not among the runs today, they struggled to put up a decent total. They did well with the ball, stretching the game as long as they did but in the end, they simply did not have enough runs to play with.

goes through Kemp! Very full delivery on middle and off. Kemp takes a step down the track but all she does is york herself. Cannot dig it out and the ball sneaks past the bat before thundering into middle stump! Surely Southern Brave will not botch this run-chase from here?

soft dismissal! Southern Brave lose another! Looped up and this ends up being a full toss. The ball, though, just drops late, meaning that Bouchier, who is advancing, has to reach out a shade. Pops it straight back to Smith, who accepts the offering gleefully!
