Southern Brave The Hundred 2025 Preview: Squad, Fixtures, Predictions

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.

Team Analysis

Strengths

  • One of the most competent and ferocious pace bowling attacks in the competition, with the presence of Jofra Archer, Chris Jordan, and Tymal Mills

  • Strong lineup of full-time batters

  • Experienced captaincy of James Vince can work in favour of the team

Weakness

  • Too much dependency on pace bowling

  • Faf du Plessis has been ruled out because of an injury, and that has created a void in the top order

  • James Vince is the leading run-scorer in the Hundred with 980 runs in 36 matches at an average of 33.79 and a strike rate of 140.40.
