Welsh Fire Women Preview

Tammy Beaumont’s and her team had to be content with sharing points with Manchester Originals Women as rain prevented play in their first game. The side faces a tough challenge against an opponent they have never defeated. Beaumont shall like to see a good show from her players in this game.

They have a formidable lower middle order and expect runs from Hayley Matthews, Georgia Elwiss, and Shabnim Ismail. 

Shabnim Ismail and Alex Hartley must bowl good spells with the new ball, as Southern Brave top order is in good form. Freya Davies knows these conditions well and will have an important role with Matthews. Georgia Elwiss must do well in the ing role for the side to win this game.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The skies over Southampton will have a thick cloud cover on August 4. The wicket offers the bowlers much assistance, and batters have always found this surface challenging. The side batting first in this game shall be happy with a score of 140 runs in this high-pressure contest.

SBW vs WFW Pitch Report

The Rose Bowl, Southampton, is a good surface to bowl with the new ball. Batters must spend their time at the crease, and they can play their strokes, as we have seen in the last few years. It hasn’t been the best venue for the spinners, as the ball tends to skid on with little movement on offer.

Toss: To Bowl

Most teams have won games batting second. It is a great venue for chasing scores, as the bowler-friendly surface makes setting up a winning total challenging. The side winning the toss shall look to take advantage of the conditions and have no hesitation in opting to bowl first in this game.
