Sunrisers Leeds face Southern Brave in Match 5 of The Hundred 2026 at Headingley in Leeds on 2026-07-25. The Hundred’s unique 100-balls-per-side format, with its strategic timeouts and five-ball overs, creates a rhythm unlike any other cricket competition in the world.

Sunrisers Leeds and Southern Brave represent contrasting philosophies in The Hundred. Leeds brings Yorkshire grit and Headingley’s swinging conditions, while Southampton offers south coast elegance and seam-friendly pitches. Both approaches have produced results, and these encounters often come down to which team adapts better to conditions on the day.

Sunrisers Leeds, formerly known as Northern Superchargers, brings new branding and fresh investment to the 2026 season. The franchise connection adds international scouting networks and analytical resources that raise the standard of competition across the tournament.

Sunrisers Leeds, formerly the Northern Superchargers, now carry the Sunrisers Hyderabad brand. Harry Brook is England’s most exciting batting talent, combining Yorkshire grit with breathtaking shot-making.

Southern Brave won the inaugural men’s Hundred in 2021 and remain a force in the competition. James Vince is one of the most aesthetically pleasing batters in English cricket, Jofra Archer’s express pace is a game-changer when available, and Liam Dawson provides reliable left-arm spin and handy runs.
