Author: Shimit Mahur
Updated At:
Southern Brave will never forget the first season of the Hundred. They lifted the trophy in 2021 and became the winners of the first season of the tournament. However, since then, Southern Brave have not won any other season. In the previous edition, Southern Brave reached close but faced a defeat in the final game against Oval Invincibles.
For The Hundred 2025, Southern Brave will move on from the loss in the final game and end their 3 year trophy drought. Hilton Cartwright, Michael Bracewell, and Finn Allen are expected to be the top overseas players in the team. James Vince, Jofra Archer, and Tymal Mills is the domestic talent that will be serving the team.
