TEAMS PREVIEW

Southern Brave Women Preview

It is the third consecutive appearance in the final for Anya Shrubsole's side, and they will look to grab the title this time. The side has fallen short of the final hurdle in the last two seasons, and they won't like to repeat that. It has been a good season for them, where key players have done well, and Shrubsole would like to deliver the final punch in this game.   

Danielle Wyatt and Smriti Mandhana have been in good form, and the pair will look to deliver a steady start in this game. Maia Boucher has done well and will look to anchor the innings in the middle order with Chloe Tryon and Georgia Adams. The side had depth in the batting, and they will expect runs from Freya Kemp and Maitlan Brown.  

Lauren Bell and Georgia Adams bowled brilliantly in the last game, and they will look to pick early wickets and put the Superchargers on the back foot. Anya Shrubsole and Chloe Tryon are in good form, a confidence booster for the team. They would also like to see a good show from Kalea Moore and Danielle Wyatt in the ing roles.  

Southern Brave Women Predicted Playing XI:

Anya Shrubsole (c), Smriti Mandhana, Danielle Wyatt, Maia Bouchier, Georgia Adams, Freya Kemp, Chloe Tryon, Maitlan Brown, Kalea Moore, Rhianna Southby (wk), Lauren Bell

Southern Brave Women Actual Playing XI:

Freya Kemp, Kalea Moore, Anya Shrubsole, Chloe Tryon, Danielle Wyatt, Georgia Adams, Lauren Bell, Maitlan Brown, Maia Bouchier, Rhianna Southby, Smriti Mandhana

Northern Superchargers Women Preview

Hollie Armitage's side would consider themselves lucky to have made it to the final after rain halted play in the Eliminator game against Welsh Fire Women. The Superchargers Women weren't in a good state when the skies opened up. Armitage would like to see the senior players in the side to deliver the goods as the side plays its first final.  

 Marie Kelly and Jemimah Rodrigues must shine with the bat at the top as the Southern Brave new ball bowlers are in good form. They will expect a good show from Phoebe Litchfield in the middle order, and she must add runs with Armitage and Bess Heath. Georgia Wareham and Alice Davidson Richards complete a good batting line-up for the team, and they must do well in this game.    

Lucy Higham looked good with the new ball in the last game, but the side will expect a better show from Kate Cross as their opponents shall come hard on them. Davidson Richards and Grace Balling must do well in the holding role and slow down the scoring rate. Georgia Wareham and Armitage add variety to this attack.

Northern Superchargers Women Predicted Playing XI:

Hollie Armitage (c), Marie Kelly, Jemimah Rodrigues, Phoebe Litchfield, Alice Davidson Richards, Bess Heath (wk), Georgia Wareham, Kate Cross, Leah Dobson, Lucy Higham, Grace Ballinger

Northern Superchargers Women Actual Playing XI:

Grace Ballinger, Leah Dobson, Bess Heath, Alice Richards, Georgia Wareham, Hollie Armitage, Jemimah Rodrigues, Kate Cross, Lucy Higham, Marie Kelly, Phoebe Litchfield

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

There is a forecast for slightly overcast skies over London. The conditions would make batting a challenge, and batters must approach the game cautiously. The side that bats first in this game would be happy to have 150 runs on the board in this high-stakes battle. 

SBW vs NORSW Pitch Report

Lord's London always has something for the bowlers as the ball moves around a bit on the surface. Batters who stick to the surface and get accustomed to the bounce have done well at this venue. It is a difficult venue for the spinners as the ball doesn't turn, and they must rely on their skills.

Toss: To Bowl

All three games in this tournament have been won by sides chasing the score. The wicket is tough to bat on, and we have seen low-scoring contests. The stage is big, and both sides would look to play safe. The side that wins the toss here would most likely opt to bowl first.
