Sunrisers Leeds Women Recent Form
Leeds enter the Eliminator on a run of four consecutive wins, the best finish of any team apart from Trent Rockets. Phoebe Litchfield has set the tone at the top, Annabel Sutherland has added the extra push in the middle overs, and Kate Cross has led a bowling attack that backed up the batting well.
Sunrisers Leeds Women Strengths
Their recent results show a team peaking at the right time.
- Explosive top order batting through Litchfield and Bryony Smith
- Strong overseas all round talent in Sutherland
- Multiple spin options in Jonassen and Deepti Sharma
Sunrisers Leeds Women Weaknesses
Their historical head to head record against Southern Brave is weaker, and their top order can come under real pressure if early wickets fall, exactly as happened in the July meeting between these two sides.
Southern Brave Women Recent Form
Brave had a strong middle stretch of the season but arrive on a three match losing streak, most recently a narrow three wicket defeat to Trent Rockets. Their batting still leans on Laura Wolvaardt, Maia Bouchier and Lizelle Lee, while Tilly Corteen-Coleman remains the standout bowler in the competition.
Southern Brave Women Strengths
Their season long numbers still tell a positive story despite the recent dip.
- A strong historical head to head record against Leeds
- Experienced international batters at the top of the order
- Tilly Corteen-Coleman as the tournament’s leading wicket taker
Southern Brave Women Weaknesses
The recent losing run raises fair questions about form. Their middle order has struggled for consistency, and death bowling has leaked runs in recent games.

Across eight previous meetings, Southern Brave hold a clear historical advantage, though recent form has swung back toward Leeds.
| Category | Record |
|---|---|
| Matches Played | 8 |
| Southern Brave Women Wins | 5 |
| Sunrisers Leeds Women Wins | 2 |
| No Result | 1 |
Most Recent Meeting

- Southern Brave chased the target successfully
- Southern Brave won by five wickets
- The win gives Brave a recent blueprint for beating this Leeds batting lineup
What Does the Head to Head Record Tell Us?

Kia Oval Pitch Report
The Oval has generally produced a fair contest between bat and ball in the women’s competition 2026 season. Batters who settle can accelerate, seamers find some early movement, and spinners get more out of the pitch as the innings goes on.
Kia Oval Scoring Pattern
Women’s Hundred matches at this venue have generally been lower scoring than the men’s games.
| Statistic | Figure |
|---|---|
| Typical First Innings Score | 120 to 140 |
| Competitive Score Range | 135 to 145 |
| Venue Trend | Slight lean toward the chasing side |
A total in the 135 to 145 range has generally been hard to chase down under knockout pressure at this ground. Anything below that range gives the bowling side a real chance.

Sunrisers Leeds Women Batting Lineup Analysis
Leeds’ batting depth is one of the biggest reasons they go into this Eliminator as favourites, so it is worth looking at how each player fits into the plan.
1. Phoebe Litchfield
Litchfield opens the batting with the tournament’s best strike rate, and a fast start from her puts early pressure on Brave’s bowlers.
2. Bryony Smith
Smith shares the opening role, and her job is to support Litchfield and help build the platform.
3. Lauren Winfield-Hill
Winfield-Hill bats at number three and can settle the innings if an early wicket falls.
4. Annabel Sutherland
Sutherland is the side’s biggest all round threat, adding power through the middle overs when needed.
5. Danielle Gibson
As captain, Gibson bats in the middle order and helps keep the scoring rate ticking along.
6. Jess Jonassen and Deepti Sharma
Both are spin bowling all rounders who add depth lower down and can finish an innings if wickets fall early.
Overall Batting Assessment
Leeds have real depth from top to bottom. Litchfield’s powerplay hitting is their biggest weapon, and Sutherland bridges the gap to the finishers. Southern Brave’s best route to victory is taking early wickets before that depth can be used.
Trent Rockets Women Stats and Tournament Performance
Whoever wins on Friday faces a Trent Rockets side that has been the standout team of the whole competition, so it is worth knowing what that opponent looks like.
Trent Rockets Women League Performance
Rockets topped the table with seven wins from eight matches and 28 points, the best record in the competition, securing direct qualification to Sunday’s final.
Trent Rockets Women Batting Stats

Why Trent Rockets Women Matter to This Eliminator
Whoever wins this match faces a side that has barely put a foot wrong all season. This is context for the final, not a prediction for it.
Key Players to Watch
A handful of individuals are likely to have the biggest say in how Friday’s Eliminator unfolds.
Sunrisers Leeds Women
- Phoebe Litchfield: top order batting threat and the tournament’s standout opener
- Annabel Sutherland: all round match winner with bat and ball
- Jess Jonassen: experienced spin option through the middle overs
- Deepti Sharma: adds balance with both bat and ball
- Kate Cross: experienced pace bowler who leads the attack
Southern Brave Women
- Laura Wolvaardt: top order anchor and the side’s captain
- Maia Bouchier: aggressive batter capable of quick starts
- Lizelle Lee: explosive batting option behind the stumps
- Tilly Corteen-Coleman: the tournament’s leading wicket taking threat
- Sarah Glenn: useful spin option through the middle overs
- Lauren Bell: new ball pace threat with the ability to strike early
Key Matchups
Beyond the two team sheets, a handful of individual battles could end up deciding this Eliminator.
1. Phoebe Litchfield vs Tilly Corteen-Coleman
Perhaps the most important battle of the day. An early wicket for Corteen-Coleman would badly disrupt Leeds’ plan of a fast start.
2. Laura Wolvaardt vs Sunrisers Leeds Spin Attack
Jonassen and Deepti Sharma will look to control Wolvaardt’s scoring through the middle phase.
3. Annabel Sutherland vs Southern Brave Bowlers
Sutherland can change the game with bat or ball, so Brave need a plan to stop her taking control.
4. Lauren Bell and Issy Wong vs Leeds Opening Pair
A couple of early wickets from Bell and Wong would expose Leeds’ middle order sooner than they would like.

The Oval’s slight lean toward chasing sides makes the toss an important factor here. Bowling first still looks the more likely choice for whichever captain wins it.
