TEAMS PREVIEW

Manchester Originals Women Preview

Sophie Ecclestone wouldn’t have wanted to see their first two games being washed away by rain. No ball has been bowled in their last two games against Welsh Fire Women and London Spirit Women. The team hasn’t been on the field, which would worry Ecclestone. She would like to win this game and get the side on the tracks.  

Laura Wolvaardt and Emma Lamb must deliver a good start for the side, as they are the most experienced batters. In the middle order, the side will need a good show from Deandra Dottin, Katie George, and Kathryn Bryce. Sophie Ecclestone, Ami Campbell, and Eleanor Threlkeld must do the big hitting towards the end.  

The side will need a good spell from Phoebe Graham and Sophie Ecclestone with the new ball. They need early wickets to put Phoenix Women under pressure. Mahika Gaur and Amanda Wellington must bowl good spells in the middle overs. Bryce and George add to the team's bowling options.

Manchester Originals Women Predicted Playing XI:

Sophie Ecclestone (c), Deandra Dottin, Emma Lamb, Eleanor Threlkeld (wk), Laura Wolvaardt, Amanda Wellington, Kathryn Bryce, Phoebe Graham, Katie George, Ami Campbell, Mahika Gaur

Birmingham Phoenix Women Preview

Evelyn Jones’ side shared the points with Trent Rockets Women in the last game after rain prevented play. They had started the season with a loss against the Nothern Superchargers Women. It is a must-win game for the team, and Jones would like her players to deliver their best performance here.  

Sophie Devine batted well in the first game and will look to deliver a good start here with Evelyn Jones. The middle order must do well, and they will need runs from Amy Jones, Erin Burns, and Tess Flintoff in this game. Emily Arlott and Isabelle Wong are powerful hitters who will look to add quick runs.  

The bowling attack faces a big test in this game, and they will need good spells from Charis Pavely and Sophie Devine at the start. Wong and Erin Burns are the most important bowlers for the team, and they must do well. Emily Arlott, Flintoff, Katie Levick, and Hannah Baker add depth to this attack.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The skies over Manchester will be cloudy on August 7, and there are strong chances of rain during the game. The wicket has generally been flat, but cloudy conditions would make it challenging for the batters in this contest. The side that bats first would need a score above 130 runs in these conditions.

MCRW vs BRMW Pitch Report

Old Trafford has a good batting surface where the ball has always come to the bat nicely, allowing batters to play their strokes. Fast bowlers get assistance in the early overs with the new ball, but there isn’t much for them on this track. Spinners have enjoyed bowling on this wicket as the odd ball can turn sharply and surprise the batters.

Toss: To Bowl

The wicket has been flat, and the batters have done well in the last two years. It also makes it a difficult surface to set the total on as the team with knowledge of the target has an advantage. Thus, we believe the side that wins the toss here would opt to bowl first in this game.
