TEAMS PREVIEW

Hampshire Women Preview

Hampshire Women started their season dominantly, winning their first match against Essex Women by 25 runs, followed by a comfortable eight-wicket victory over Lancashire Women. However, in their last match against Surrey Women, Hampshire Women were completely outplayed with both bat and ball.

After winning the toss and opting to field first, Hampshire Women witnessed an absolute carnage from Surrey batters, who posted the second-highest total in the Women's T20 Blast (213/4). Freya Davies was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 2/36.

Chasing the target, Hampshire Women lost wickets at regular intervals and never managed to form the big partnerships they needed. Ella McCaughan was the standout performer, scoring 81 runs in 50 balls, including 14 fours. Georgia Adams scored 29 runs in 24 balls but couldn't power her team to victory.

Hampshire Women boast one of the strongest batting lineups this season, with Ella McCaughan being the leading run-scorer in the tournament with 217 runs in 3 matches, averaging 108.5. In the bowling department, Bex Tyson is the leading wicket-taker with six wickets in three matches.

Hampshire Women Predicted Playing XI:

Ella McCaughan, Georgia Adams, Maia Bouchier, Rhianna Southby, Daisy Gibb, Freya Davies, Rebecca Tyson, Charli Knott, Freya Kemp, Mary Taylor, Naomi Dattani

Hampshire Women Actual Playing XI:

Durham Women Preview

Durham Women have not had a great start to their campaign, losing both matches played in the season by close margins. In both games, they were in commanding positions but faltered in the final overs of the chase. They lost their first match of the season against the Bears Women by 42 runs.

In their last outing against Lancashire Women, Durham Women, bowling first, restricted Lancashire Women to 140/7. Grace Thompson (2/22) and Trudy Johnson (2/26) set the tone with the new ball, and in the middle overs, Suzie Bates rolled her arm over, finishing with figures of 2/21.

Chasing a moderate total, Durham Women were off to a superb start, scoring 61 runs for the first wicket in 8.1 overs before Katherine Fraser was cleaned up for 28 runs. Bates carried on from one end and scored 49 runs in 38 balls. Other than these two batters, the rest of the batting lineup collapsed, with no other batter scoring more than 15 runs.  

Suzie Bates has been the mainstay batter for Durham Women in both matches, scoring 114 runs in two games, while none of the other batters have stepped up. She has also been effective with the ball, picking up four wickets in two matches.

Durham Women Predicted Playing XI:

Hollie Armitage, Suzie Bates, Katherine Fraser, Mady Villiers, Trudy Johnson, Bess Heath, Mia Rogers, Abigail Glen, Katie Levick, Phoebe Turner, Grace Thompson

HAM-W vs DUR-W Pitch Report

The pitch at Arundel Castle Cricket Ground offers a balanced track that favours both the batters and bowlers. Fast bowlers get assistance of the surface, while spinners might struggle to get going. The average 1st innings score in the three Women's T20 matches played at this venue is 134 runs. 

Toss: To Bat

Teams batting first have won two of the three Women's T20 matches played at Arundel Castle Cricket Ground. Given Hampshire Women's success batting first and Durham Women's struggles in chasing totals, both teams will likely look to bat first if they win the toss. We predict the team that wins the toss will opt to bat first.
