Somerset Women Preview
Somerset’s season has been one of struggle. With just a single win in the campaign, their batting inconsistencies and lack of penetration in bowling have cost them games. Captain Sophie Luff will hope for one last strong outing from her players.
The batting department relies on Luff, Rebecca Odgers, Amanda-Jade Wellington, and Niamh Holland. In the previous game, Wellington top-scored with a 14-ball 21, and contributions from Griffiths and Holland showed signs of improvement.
Bowling-wise, Erin Vukusic and Chloe Skelton picked up 2 wickets each in their last match. However, the overall impact has been underwhelming, and facing Blaze’s in-form lineup will test their depth.
Key Players: Sophie Luff, Amanda-Jade Wellington, Chloe Skelton
Blaze Women Preview
Blaze Women have been among the top teams this season. A well-rounded unit, they’ve struck the right balance between aggressive batting and incisive bowling. Their recent 35-run win over Essex Women featured excellent all-round performances.
Heather Graham led the scoring with a rapid 33 off 23, supported by Kathryn Bryce (27 off 25). The middle-order is stable with Sarah Bryce and Michaela Kirk offering reliability and firepower.
Blaze’s bowling is their biggest weapon. Kirstie Gordon was outstanding with 4 for 23, and Sarah Glenn delivered a match-winning spell of 3 for 17. Their control and ability to take regular wickets have put pressure on opposition lineups all season.
