Players to watch out:
Georgia Adams
Georgia has scored a total of 138 runs in her last 10 innings and has proven to be a vital aspect with the bat for Hampshire Women. She not only scores big runs but picks key wickets at regular intervals and helps her side in putting pressure on the opposition. She has picked up 7 wickets in 8 innings and has been an example of leading from the front. She is a complete package both with bat and ball and her performance gives immense confidence to the whole unit.
Ella McCaughan
Ella McCaughan is a right-handed opening batter from Southampton who plays for Hampshire Women. Known for her composed approach at the top of the order, she occasionally bowls part-time leg-spin. In her last 5 innings with the bat, Ella has scored massively, amassing 327 runs, including three half centuries and a century as well. Ella is a massive and solid asset for the side and continues to contribute with the bat consistently.
Kira Chathli
Kira Chathli is an English wicketkeeper-batter who plays for Surrey and Oval Invincibles. She is a key aspect for this lineup and a very handy player behind the wickets. She has scored 216 runs in her last 10 innings with the bat and continues to contribute time and again. Her recent innings include a 40-run outing against Essex Women, which would have given her a lot of confidence, going ahead in the tournament.
Grace Harris
Grace Harris is a dynamic Australian all-rounder renowned for her explosive batting and effective off-spin bowling. She has played 54 T20Is, scoring 557 runs at an average of 22.19 with the highest score of 64*, and has taken 9 wickets. In her last 10 T20 innings she has scored 261 runs with the bat and has picked up 10 wickets in 9 innings with the ball. Harris’s innovative batting and knack for breakthroughs make her a valuable asset in any T20 side, and here again has left a mark, with quick-fire 63 and 31-run outings.
Pitch:
The Rose Bowl wicket is generally batting-friendly with good bounce and carry. It offers some early assistance to seamers but becomes easier for batting as the game progresses. Spinners can get some turn, making it a balanced surface that often favors teams chasing.
Weather:
The conditions are forecasted to be partly sunny, warm, and ideal for cricket. With no significant threat of rain or interruptions to play, we’ve got a complete game of cricket.
