Lancashire Women vs Warwickshire Women, WODC, Today Match Prediction 10 September 2025

LANW vs WRW-W Match Prediction & Analysis

With just two more games left in the league stage, Lancashire Women have a real chance of reaching the semi-finals of the ECB Women’s One Day Cup 2025. They are 3rd in the points table at the moment with 35 points from 12 matches.

Warwickshire Women, on the other hand, have won just 2 of their 12 games so far. They have lost 7 consecutive games since their last win. Their batting has been out of form lately, with some poor performances in recent losses.

Moreover, the bowling has also been very expensive. Georgia Davis, Issy Wong, and Phoebe Brett are the key wicket-takers for Warwickshire Women. Lancashire have been brilliant with the ball in their recent outings.

They restricted the opposition to below 200 runs twice in their last three matches. They’ve got the big guns in the bowling attack like Fi Morris, Kate Cross, and Phoebe Graham, who will lead the charge for the Lancs.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Lancashire Women Preview

Lancashire Women have a strong chance of finishing in the top 2 if they win their remaining two games. They are very likely to make it to the semi-finals given their current position in the points table.

The bowling has been exceptional from Lancs in recent matches. They bowled out Surrey Women for just 225 runs in the last game. Grace Potts was the top bowler for the side with 3 for 31, while Hannah Jones and Fi Morris picked up 2 wickets each while bowling at an economy of less than 4 r.p.o.

The top order has been quite impressive. Emma Lamb, in particular, has stood out with her fifty in the last match and a hundred in the previous game. There have been plenty of changes in the opening duo, with Gaby Lewis, Alicia Clarke, and Eve Jones having opened at least once in the last three matches.

Seren Smale, who has looked quite promising at number 3, also stepped up to deliver a strong performance in the last game as she stayed unbeaten on 67 off 70 balls while chasing a 226-run target.

In the middle order, skipper Eleanor Threlkeld must take it up on herself to ensure a big finish and build a strong partnership with Fi Morris and Danielle Collins.

Lancashire Women Predicted Playing XI:

Emma Lamb, Gaby Lewis, Seren Smale, Fi Morris, Eleanor Threlkeld (c), Ailsa Lister, Danielle Collins, Kate Cross, Grace Potts, Hannah Jones, Phoebe Graham

Warwickshire Women Preview

Georgia Davis is the top wicket-taker of the tournament with 21 scalps from 11 matches at an average of 19.42. She is the only consistent player in the side and picked up 7 wickets in her last 3 innings for Warwickshire Women.

They have other promising and talented bowlers like Issy Wong and Hannah Baker who need to step up and make significant contributions. There are many bowling options in the side, with some of them delivering consistent breakthroughs.

However, as a unit, the bowlers have failed to deliver a more consolidated effort that could put the opposition on the back foot. All-rounder Amu Surenkumar is one such all-rounder who bats at number 3 and has picked up a wicket in each of her last 3 outings.

Davina Perrin, who opened the innings for Warwickshire Women earlier in the tournament, is now a regular feature at number 3. She scored a hundred in a recent match against Surrey, helping her side finish with 239 runs on the board.

The only other promising players in this batting lineup are Abigail Freeborn and wicket-keeper batter Natasha Wraith in the lower order. The inconsistency in the batting has been a major issue with Warwickshire Women this season.

The openers, Meg Austin and Bethan Ellis, have failed to make a mark in the top order. Surenkumar and Perrin are the key players in the top 4 expected to lead the run-scoring for Warwickshire Women.

Warwickshire Women Predicted Playing XI:

Meg Austin, Bethan Ellis, Amu Surenkumar, Davina Perrin, Abigail Freeborn, Natasha Wraith (wk), Issy Wong, Hannah Hardwick, Georgia Davis (c), Hannah Baker, Phoebe Brett

Weather Conditions

There will be light rain early in the day, followed by rain showers in Sale with a high of 17 degrees Celsius. The weather will very likely affect the outcome of the match, and in the best-case scenario, we would have a few overs reduced from both innings while still having a one-day game.

LANW vs WRW-W Pitch Report

Rookwood in Sale, Greater Manchester, will be the venue for this match. There hasn’t been a one-day or T20 match played on this ground to get an idea of the average first innings score or the pitch conditions on offer. Considering the weather around, we expect the bowlers to find the upper hand in this game and pose a tough challenge to the batters in both innings.

Toss: To Bat

There isn’t much information on this venue available since there haven’t been many games played here. As such, we would predict the toss decision based on the teams’ current form. Warwickshire are struggling with the bat, and it isn’t ideal for them to chase down a total. The Lancs, on the other hand, can defend any total with their current bowling form.
