Birmingham Phoenix Women Preview

Amy Ellen Jones’ side comes into this game with a 20-run win against the Manchester Originals Women, their first victory of the season. But the skipper would be worried about the form of her batters who fared poorly in the last game. This will be a very tough game for the side, and they will have to come up with their best performance to win here.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The skies over Southampton would be cloudy on July 30 and there are predictions for rains during the day. Batters would have to play to the merit of the ball on this surface. The side that bats first in the game would target a score of 150 runs.

Venue Details

The Rose Bowl, Southampton has a good batting surface but there is lot for the fast bowlers with the new ball. Batters have to build their innings and those who rotate the strike have done well here. Spinners don’t have the best of record as the surface doesn’t have turn on offer.

Toss: To Bowl

We expect the wicket to be a tricky one to bat on at the start of the game. The ball is expected to move around a bit. Having a target score in mind is always easy on such wickets and hence the side winning the toss here should have little hesitation in bowling first.
