In total, Southern Brave have bowled seven different seamers across their four matches.

Though they started off their tournament with a thumping nine-wicket win over Welsh Fire, the team has lost three matches in a row. In their previous meeting, they lost to the Invincibles by seven wickets. Placed sixth in the points table, the Brave is next scheduled to lock horns with Manchester Originals on Thursday, August 18 at The Rose Bowl in Southampton.

Captain James Vince has been the standout performer with the willow with 103 runs in 4 matches at an average of 34.33. But after his 71 runs in the first match for the Braves, Vince has only managed 32 runs in the next three matches.

Fuller, Jordan and Hogan are their leading wicket-takers with three wickets apiece.
