Team Previews
Somerset Women Preview
It’s been a tough ride for Somerset Women who are yet to open their account in this year’s competition. However, the team has shown glimpses of potential. In their last outing against Hampshire Women, they came agonizingly close to chasing 169 but fell short by just 5 runs.
The key contributors have been Amanda Jade Wellington, who leads with 126 runs, and Niamh Holland, who smashed 60 in the last game. Charlie Dean, with 7 wickets, is their most impactful bowler.
Somerset needs a better start from Rebecca Odgers and Fran Wilson, who have failed to build early momentum. The middle order looks in better shape with Holland and Wellington. In the bowling department, apart from Dean, Dani Gibson and Alex Griffiths must step up.
Somerset Predicted Playing XI:
Heather Knight (c), Fran Wilson, Rebecca Odgers, Niamh Holland, Amanda Jade Wellington, Sophie Luff, Emma Corney, Charlie Dean, Dani Gibson, Alex Griffiths, Laura Jackson
Durham Women Preview
Durham Women find themselves one spot above Somerset with two wins but have suffered six defeats. Their latest loss came against Essex Women where their batting faltered badly, ending with just 101/8 in 20 overs.
Suzie Bates continues to be their batting mainstay with 281 runs, while Katie Levick leads the bowling with 8 wickets. Bates’ opening partnerships have lacked support, with middle-order collapses being a concern. Lauren Filer and Emily Windsor need to contribute more consistently.
In bowling, Levick is the spearhead, but the rest of the attack lacks penetration. The likes of Katherine Fraser, Mady Villiers, and Lizzie Scott must offer control in the middle overs.
Durham Predicted Playing XI:
Suzie Bates, Hollie Armitage (c), Leah Dobson, Lauren Filer, Bess Heath (wk), Emily Windsor, Katie Levick, Mady Villiers, Lizzie Scott, Katherine Fraser, Emma Marlow

Favourite Team in Today’s Match – Somerset Women
Despite being winless, Somerset Women enter this match as favorites due to their narrow losses and improving performances. Players like Amanda Jade Wellington, Niamh Holland, and Charlie Dean have begun to click together. Their last match nearly saw them chase 169, showing they have the batting firepower. Durham, in contrast, has struggled in both departments with a fragile middle order. Somerset’s bowling, especially Dean’s form, gives them a definite edge. If they manage a better powerplay, Somerset should finally break their losing streak and claim their first win.
