Southern Brave are Women's Champions at third attempt!

After falling to defeat to Oval Invincibles in 2021 and 2022, Southern Brave finally got their hands on the Women's Competition trophy by beating Northern Superchargers at Lord's

Danni Wyatt was the Meerkat Match Hero. Brave lost two early wickets but Wyatt thumped her way to 59 from 38, the highest score in a Women's Competition Final.

Brave scored 139 - only Brave's Men, in 2021, have hit a higher score in a Final - and set about defending it brilliantly, with Lauren Bell taking two wickets inside the first 10 balls.

Rhianna Southby was electric behind the stumps, taking three stumpings.

Maia Bouchier has been incredible in the field this year, and her sixth catch was yet another example of her brilliance. 

It was a run out by Georgia Adams, the Women's Competition's leading wicket-taker, which sealed the victory.
