Spin bowlers have been the highest wicket taker at the venue.
Pick at least one team with mostly spinners.
Pick one team with mostly top four batters from both the sides.
The pitch at Rose Bowl in Southampton showed contrasting behaviors in two games played at the venue. Spinners generally get good assistance from the deck with batters still having enough to score big. Chasing should be the option after winning the toss as it will be an easier task to bat with a score in mind. The first innings score should be around 140.
The sky will remain partly cloudy with no rain predicted during the match time in Southampton.
There is no major news reported from both sides.

Southern Brave Women: Smriti Mandhana, Danni Wyatt, Maia Bouchier, Freya Kemp, Chloe Tryon, Georgia Adams, Maitlan Brown, Rhianna Southby (wk), Kalea Moore, Anya Shrubsole (c), Lauren Bell.
Birmingham Phoenix Women: Sophie Devine, Amy Jones (wk), Erin Burns, Eve Jones (c), Tess Flintoff, Sterre Kalis, Davina Perrin, Issy Wong, Hannah Baker, Emily Arlott, Katie Levick.
Smriti Mandhana: Marizanne Kapp will undoubtedly be the best captaincy choice ahead of this game. The South African has been at her all-round best in this tournament, having scored runs with the bat and taking wickets as well. She is coming on the back of a match-winning half century in the last match against Birmingham and her good run of form is expected to continue in this match.
Georgia Adams: Sarah Glenn has been the biggest positive for the London franchise. She has taken 5 wickets in 2 matches already. In addition, the conditions at the Oval have been favorable for spin bowlers. Considering Glenn’s form and the conditions at the Oval, it is advisable to keep Glenn as one of the captaincy options for this match.
Sophie Devine: Capsey’s all-round abilities makes her different from the crowd. She will be another safe captaincy choice ahead of this game. Capsey has made runs at the Oval this season and if situation demands, her spin bowling can make a real difference on the kind of surface Oval has been offering this season.
Lauren Bell: Lauren Bell had a couple of good outings followed by a wicketless game in SOB-W’s last outing. This has affected people’s point of view to the SOB-W bowler and as a result she has been overlooked in the majority of the teams. Therefore, it is advisable to keep her as one of the differential pick for your team as keeping her can make a huge difference to your points tally if the Bell has a good day with the ball.
Eve Jones: Being a top order batter, Eve Jones will always be one of the best differential picks due to her ability to make a difference with the bat at that position. She is yet to make a huge mark to the 2023 season and therefore, has been selected not even 10% of the teams as of writing this.
Erin Burns: Erin Burns has the capability to contribute with both bat and ball. However, unfortunately, due to her current poor form, picking her should be avoidable in any of your XIs.
If SOB-W bat first
Complete team with three of Wong, Shrubsole, Arlott, E Jones
If BPH-W bat first
Complete team with three of Wyatt, E Jones, Bell, Baker
If SOB-W bat first
Complete team with three of Wyatt, E Jones, Kemp, Tryon,
If BPH-W bat first
Complete team with three of Devine, Moore, Shrubsole, Kalis
Considering the current form and the team on paper, SOB-W should win this match against BPH-W.
