Dream11 Prediction
The visitors are playing good cricket at the moment. They have a batting order that runs deep and their openers are also in great nick. Most of their bowlers are bowling well and are looking good for more. If the Phoenix women can exploit the weaknesses in the Southern Brave women repertoire, they can get the hosts in trouble. But looking at the current form of both these teams it appears a remote possibility for the Phoenix team to beat Southern Brave side. We will bet with Southern Brave women to start as favorites to win the game.
