They are second on the points table and shall look to make it to the top with a win in this game. The side plays at home, and Beaumont shall like to take full advantage of the conditions.

Sarah Bryce has batted well and will look to build partnerships with Laura Harris and Georgia Elwiss. Ella McCaughan, Emily Windsor, and Alex Griffiths add depth to this line-up.  

Shabnim Ismail and Claire Nicholas must do well with the new ball, as their opponents have firepower at the top. Alex Griffiths and Freya Davies must bowl tight spells in the middle overs for the side to do well in this game. They will expect tight bowling from Elwiss and Dunkley.

Trent Rockets Women Preview

Nat Sciver-Brunt won its first battle of the season in the last game. They bowled well and followed it up with a clinical batting performance to win the game by 5 wickets. They are still far away from being a contender for the Eliminator. The Rockets Women's skipper would like a good show from her players as they look to improve their position on the points table.   

Lizelle Lee is an experienced batter and will look to set up a big partnership with Bryony Smith at the top. Natalie Sciver played a captain's knock in the last game, and she must build partnerships in the middle order with Harmanpreet Kaur and Fran Wilson. Naomi Dattani and Joanne Gardner must add quick runs in the lower middle order.  

Their bowling hasn't been great with the new ball, and the side will need a good show from the new ball pair of Alexa Stonehouse and Naomi Dattani. Kirstie Gordon, Alana King, and Bryony Smith did well in the last game, and they will be confident. Grace Potts and Gardner must do well in the ing role.

Trent Rockets Women Predicted Playing XI:

Nat Sciver-Brunt (c), Lizelle Lee (wk), Bryony Smith, Harmanpreet Kaur, Fran Wilson, Joanne Gardner, Naomi Dattani, Alana King, Grace Potts, Alexa Stonehouse, Kirstie Gordon

WFW vs TREW Pitch Report

Sophia Gardens, Cardiff is a big ground, and this has always created challenges for batters who have to avoid playing the ball in the air. There is assistance for fast bowlers on this surface early in the game. Spinners have done well here as there is turn and bounce on offer.

Toss: To Bowl

We have seen easy run chases on this surface in recent games, and sides have also managed to chase down big scores. It is always a challenge to set up a total at this venue; hence, the side that wins the toss will likely opt for batting first on this wicket.
