TEAMS PREVIEW

London Spirit Women Preview

London Spirit Women head into this contest on the back of a nail-biting thriller against MI London Women in the London derby, which ended in a spectacular tie with both teams scoring 151 runs in 100 balls. However, London Spirit Women will feel they had the game in the bag when their top-order batters were in full flow.

Bowling first, London Spirit Women restricted MI London Women to 151/5 in 100 balls. In the first 80 balls, they conceded only 99 runs and looked in control, but in the last 20 balls, Spirit Women gave away 52 runs, which proved to be too costly for them in the end.

Chasing 152 runs, Spirit Women lost the all-important wicket of Grace Harris on the very first ball. However, Marie Kelly provided the impetus in the run chase with a superb knock of 49 runs off 46 balls, smashing 5 fours and 1 six. 

Amy Jones struggled early on to get her innings going in her first 15 balls, but she later made up for it by scoring 45 runs off 28 balls. She got out at the wrong time, which shifted the game in favor of MI London. Marizanne Kapp also contributed 25 runs off 13 balls.

Power hitters Nadine de Klerk and Deandra Dottin wasted too many balls at the backend of the innings. With 4 runs needed off 3 balls, De Klerk holed out at mid-wicket. On the last ball of the match, with 3 runs needed, Dottin managed to get two runs and tie the game.

After a debacle in their first match of the season, Spirit Women gained 6 points over their last two matches, all coming while chasing. They will now be up against one of the best defensive sides this season in Southern Brave Women, who have won three of their four matches while defending a total.

London Spirit Women Predicted Playing XI:

Grace Harris, Amy Jones (wk), Marie Kelly, Marizanne Kapp, Sterre Kalis, Nadine de Klerk, Deandra Dottin, Charis Pavely, Charlotte Dean (c), Katie George, Trudy Johnson

Southern Brave Women Preview

Southern Brave Women's superb run this season continues as they make it four wins in a row, courtesy of clever, street-smart, and excellent bowling performances from their bowlers—defending a score of under 130 runs twice. In their last match, that good form with the ball continued as they defended 141 runs against Birmingham Phoenix Women, coupled with a solid batting performance from their top-order batters.

Maia Bouchier (45 runs) and Lizelle Lee (43 runs) set the tone early on for the Brave Women with the bat, adding 68 runs off 47 balls for the first wicket. Jemimah Rodrigues then provided the finishing touches, scoring 28 runs off 18 balls.

When the game was shifting toward Birmingham Phoenix Women, Brave Women's skipper Sophie Molineux bowled a scintillating spell, conceding 24 runs in 20 balls and picking up 2 key wickets. Lauren Bell also made the Phoenix Women batters' lives difficult with her pace variations and slower balls, finishing with figures of 1/16 in 20 balls. Tilly Corteen-Coleman and Sarah Glenn chipped in with a wicket each as well.

The Brave Women's world-class bowling lineup is slowly becoming a real threat to every side, led by Sophie Molineux with 7 wickets, followed by Corteen-Coleman with 5 wickets and Issy Wong with 4 wickets. In the batting department, Jemimah Rodrigues tops the charts with 106 runs.

Southern Brave Women Predicted Playing XI:

Lizelle Lee (wk), Maia Bouchier, Laura Wolvaardt, Jemimah Rodrigues, Sophie Molineux (c), Jodi Grewcock, Naomi Dattani, Sarah Glenn, Issy Wong, Lauren Bell, Tilly Corteen-Coleman

LSW vs SBW Pitch Report

The pitch at Lord's Cricket Ground offers a balanced track that favours both the batters and bowlers, especially the fast bowlers with the slope and the quality of bowling attack both teams boast runs will be hard to come by and batters will have to work their way out. The average 1st innings score in the last five Women's Hundred matches played at this venue is around 130-135 runs and a score of around 150 is going to be a match winning total. 

Toss: To Bowl

Teams bowling first won four of the last six Women's Hundred matches played at the Lord's Cricket Ground in London. The last match played at this venue was won by the team chasing by 7 wickets. But if you look at the strength's of both the team's the Southern Brave Women's three of the four wins came while batting first and the London Spirit Women's strength is bowling first. We predict the team that wins the toss will look to bowl first in this fixture, where the conditions get better for batting as the match progresses.
