Southern Brave Still Have Chance to Qualify for Playoffs of The Hundred Mens Competition

Southern Brave

The Southern Brave are currently in fifth place in the Men’s Hundred competition, with 7 points from seven matches. They need to win their final match of the group stage against the Manchester Originals by huge margins on Wednesday to guarantee a place in the playoffs.
However, if they lose to the Originals, the Brave will lose the chance of qualifying. Along with the won over Originals, they would need to rely on results elsewhere, but there are a few scenarios that could see them through.

One possibility is that the Trent Rocket lose their final match and their net run rate goes up on the table.
Another possibility is in the hands of the Brave itself where they can win the match against Manchester Originals by huge margins.
Finally, the Brave could also qualify if the Welsh Fire loses to the Northern Superchargers. This would leave the Brave in fourth place, but they would have a better net run rate than the Fire.

The Brave will be hoping to take care of their own business against the Originals on Wednesday. However, they will also be keeping an eye on the other results around the competition. If they can get a little bit of help, they could still book their place in the playoffs.
Here are the specific scenarios in which the Southern Brave can qualify for the playoffs:

Win against Manchester Originals: The Brave will qualify for the playoffs if they win their final match against the Originals, regardless of the other results.

The narrow loss against Manchester Originals: If the Brave lose to the Originals by less than 42 runs, they will qualify for the playoffs if the Birmingham Phoenix lose their final match against the London Spirit.

Other results go their way: The Brave could also qualify for the playoffs if the Manchester Originals lose to the Brave by a narrow margin and the Welsh Fire lose to the Northern Superchargers.

The Brave will be confident of their chances of winning their final match against the Originals. They have a strong batting line-up and bowling that excel when needed.

If the Brave can get a win on Wednesday, they will be in a good position to qualify for the playoffs. They will then be looking to build on their momentum and challenge for the title.
