Sussex Women Preview
Sussex Women have shown glimpses of brilliance but lack consistency. After a solid 63-run opening partnership in their last match, the middle-order collapsed under pressure. Rachel King, with 156 runs in 3 matches at an average of 76.50, is their biggest hope.
Chiara Green has been economical and effective with the ball, while Eve O’Neill and Anna Buckle add balance. If Sussex are to beat the group leaders, their batters must build on good starts, and the bowlers need to strike early to expose Middlesex’s middle order.
Sussex Predicted Playing XI:
Mollie Adams, Anna Buckle, Izzy Collis, Kali-Ann Docherty, Indigo Gentry, Chiara Green, Rachel King, Anna Lewis, Eve O’Neill, Jazz Westley, Phoebe Wilkinson.
Middlesex Women Preview
Middlesex Women are currently the most dominant team in the tournament. Their last win by 40 runs saw openers Issy Routledge (80) and Finty Trussler (90) stitch a record 167-run stand. They have strong depth with Saskia Horley and Anaya Patel contributing in all departments.
Horley has scored 158 runs and picked 6 wickets this season, while Patel has taken 7 wickets with an economy of just 5.45. Their bowling attack is varied and disciplined, and with a strong top order, they look unbeatable on current form.
Middlesex Predicted Playing XI:
Saskia Horley (c), Hannah Davis, Anisha Dissanayake, Artemis Downer, Olivia Kibler (wk), Anaya Patel, Sonali Patel, Riva Pindoria, Issy Routledge, Pippa Sproul, Finty Trussler

Middlesex Women are the most complete side in the league right now. Their top-order is on fire, their all-rounders are contributing in both departments, and their bowlers are bowling to a plan. With the likes of Saskia Horley and Anaya Patel in excellent form, they should continue their winning momentum against a less consistent Sussex side.
