Gloucestershire Women are still searching for their first win of the Vitality Blast Women League 2 season after suffering defeat in their opening fixture. They currently sit near the bottom of the table with 0 points and an NRR of -3.250. Despite the disappointing result, they showed glimpses of individual quality and will be eager to bounce back quickly against Kent Women.
Gloucestershire Women began their campaign with a heavy 65-run loss against Glamorgan Women. After winning the toss and choosing to field, Gloucestershire struggled to contain the Glamorgan batting lineup as Glamorgan post a daunting 184/6. Gloucestershire’s bowlers found it difficult to stem the flow of runs, although Emily Geach impressed with 3/23. Chasing 185, wickets fell regularly and the required rate kept climbing. Emily Geach fought hard with an unbeaten 32 off 23 balls, while Melissa Story contributed 29, but Gloucestershire could only reach 119/6 in their 20 overs. The inability to restrict Glamorgan’s top order and the lack of significant partnerships during the chase proved costly.
Looking at last year’s T20 performances, Prarthana Reddy was Gloucestershire’s leading run-scorer with 159 runs in 8 innings, while Melissa Story scored 129 runs in 8 innings. With the ball, Liv Daniels led the attack with 7 wickets in 7 innings, while Caitlin Belcher picked up 5 wickets in 7 innings. With their season still in its early stages, Gloucestershire Women will be aiming to put their opening defeat behind them and register their first win of the campaign.
