Surrey Women vs Somerset Women, WVT20B, Today Match Prediction 13 July 2025

SUR-W vs SOM-W Match Prediction & Analysis

As this is the first season of the revamped women's cricket setup in the UK, there will always be some mis-matches and a few teams who are not on the same level.

This fixture at The Oval on Sunday certainly falls into that category with Surrey Women, who display the 'Surrey Strut' seen by players of the club for centuries, taking on Somerset Women who have struggled to be competitive in this Women's T20 Blast.

While Somerset Women sit adrift at the bottom, nine points from any other side, the same is true for Surrey Women at the top. Sunday's hosts begin the match nine points clear from second placed Warwickshire Women and a further point ahead of Blaze Women.

Most pundits are expecting a one-sided fixture and looking at the evidence, it is very hard to argue otherwise!

TEAMS PREVIEW

Surrey Women Preview

It was a top of the table clash for Surrey Women in their last match when they travelled north to Trent Bridge, Nottingham to take on The Blaze Women on Friday.

Although Surrey Women were by no means at their best - posting 132/9 - they were still able to win by a margin of ten runs and showed that when the pressure is on they can deliver.

In this match, Surrey Women will be looking to their batters to produce better returns after none of their line-up managed to go beyond Alice Davidson-Richards' 27 at the top of the order.

But with skipper Bryony Smith and Grace Haris in the side, most expect the last game to have been a blip.

With the ball, Kalea Moore and Ryana MacDonald-Gay both come into this fixture after picking up two wickets each against the Blaze Women.

Surrey Women Predicted Playing XI:

Bryony Smith (c), Alice Davidson-Richards, Kira Chathli (wk), Grace Harris, Emma Jones, Alice Monaghan, Phoebe Franklin, Kalea Moore, Ryana MacDonald-Gay, Alexa Stonehouse, Danielle Gregory

Surrey Women Actual Playing XI:

Alice Capsey, Kira Chathli, Alexa Stonehouse, Alice Monaghan, Bryony Smith, Emma Jones, Grace Harris, Phoebe Franklin, Danielle Gregory, Kalea Moore, Ryana Macdonald

Somerset Women Preview

Somerset Women hosted Warwickshire Women in their last game on Friday evening but by the end of the night had fallen to another defeat against a team who are now up to second.

Based on that, it's very  hard to see how Niamh Holland's side will be able to cause many issues against a strong, confident and in-form Surrey side at The Oval!

That said, opening bowler Mollie Robbins comes into this game with plenty of confidence after she took 4/29 in the last game and Chloe Skelton took 2/36 in the same fixture.

With the bat, only four of Somerset Women's line-up come into this match after making double-figures against Warwickshire Women. It will be another tough afternoon for the batters against a very talented Surrey Women's bowling attack.

Somerset Women Predicted Playing XI:

Rebecca Odgers, Niamh Holland (c), Ruby Davis, Fran Wilson, Jess Hazell (wk), Amanda-Jade Wellington, Alex Griffiths, Chloe Skelton, Mollie Robbins, Olivia Barnes, Erin Vukusic

Somerset Women Actual Playing XI:

Fran Wilson, Rebecca Odgers, Amanda Jade Wellington, Danielle Gibson, Erin Vukusic, Niamh Holland, Olivia Barnes, Alex Griffiths, Chloe Skelton, Mollie Robbins, Ruby Davis

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

It will be 22 degrees at the start of the game but will push towards 28 degrees in the second period. No rain is forecast on a hot and humid Sunday in South London.

SUR-W vs SOM-W Pitch Report

The Oval is an excellent venue for batting and bowling. The surface is true and a par score in the first innings on Sunday will be around 140 in this fixture.

Toss: To Bowl

With the heatwave still in full force in London, there will be tough and hot conditions in the second half of the game. Therefore, we predict that both teams will want to bowl first if they win the toss.
