WORW vs KENTW Match Prediction & Analysis

This looks like being an entertaining clash between two teams who both lost their first two games of this year's Metro Bank One Day Cup Women League 2.

Worcestershire Rapids Women have since found their feet and have enjoyed back to back victories while Kent Women did get off the mark with a victory themselves but were beaten once again in their last match.

Being played in the beautiful setting of Worcester Royal Grammar School Ground, Worcester, we can expect a good crowd in for the day for this game with the home side likely to have the majority of the support.

It has been a tough season for both Kent Men and Kent Women but a win in this game will see them climb the table.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Worcestershire Women Preview

A lot rest on the shoulders of captain, wicket-keeper and opener Chloe Hill in this Worcestershire Rapids Women side and if she can put in a strong performance then they will have an excellent chance of recording another victory.

Gwen Davies hit a half-century in her last appearance in this format and the home fans will expect to see her take the attack to the Kent Women bowling attack across the opening overs of the innings.

With the ball, Phoebe Brett and Flora Bertwistle are likely to be the two main attacking bowling threats although Hannah Hardwick is also a talented player at this level.

Worcestershire Rapids Women will need to be at their best against a talented Kent Women side.

Worcestershire Women Predicted Playing XI:

Chloe Hill (c) (wk), Gwen Davies, Ruby Davis, Poppy Davies, Sophie Beech, Samadhi Samarakoon, Liv Gough, Phoebe Brett, Jess Beach, Flora Bertwistle, Hannah Hardwick

Kent Women Preview

Kent Women have a strong batting order with Coco Streets, Megan Sturge and Amy Gordon all in fine form already this season.

Former Surrey Women's captain Gordon has been playing some of her best cricket of late and has carried on her excellent numbers from last season which included her performing well for the England XI at the Women's European Cricket Championships.

Overall, Kent Women do have a potent mix of youth and experience but so far this season it has not proved to be enough to really make an impact in this competition.

With the ball, Jess Bird, Tilly Callaghan and Alice Grant will be the frontline but there are wicket takers across the team.

Kent Women Predicted Playing XI:

Coco Streets, Amy Gordon, Elsa Barnfather, Tilly Callaghan, Izzy James, Megan Sturge, Molly Davis (wk), Grace Poole, Megan Belt (c), Jess Bird, Alice Grant

Weather Conditions

There could well be some rain around at the toss and potential showers across the first few hours of the game. It should brighten and dry up across the second half of the match.

WORW vs KENTW Pitch Report

This out ground in Worcester is picturesque but still maintains long boundaries so easy runs will not be on offer. Expect a par score to be no higher than 230.

Toss: To Bowl

Conditions should become more batter friendly as the day progresses so we predict that both captains will choose to bat first ahead of this game.
