Team Previews

Trent Rockets Women Preview

Trent Rockets Women have built decent momentum with three wins in their last five matches. They currently sit 5th in the standings with a positive NRR of +0.080. Their batting has been spearheaded by Nat Sciver-Brunt (298 runs, SR 142.58) and Ashleigh Gardner (258 runs, SR 149.13) who have also contributed significantly with the ball. Gardner’s 12 wickets at an economy of 7.03 highlight her all-round value.

Their recent victories, including a 23-run win against Welsh Fire, underline their ability to defend totals. Kirstie Gordon’s left-arm spin (10 wickets) and Heather Graham’s all-round support give the Rockets a balanced lineup. Although they suffered a narrow defeat to Phoenix earlier this season, their improving form and stronger middle order make them a dangerous side at home.

Predicted XI: Bryony Smith, Grace Scrivens, Nat Sciver-Brunt (c), Ashleigh Gardner, Heather Graham, Alana King, Jodi Grewcock, Eleanor Threlkeld, Kirstie Gordon, Cassidy McCarthy, Alexa Stonehouse

Birmingham Phoenix Women Preview

Birmingham Phoenix Women have endured a tough campaign, winning only twice in seven games and sitting 7th with a poor NRR of -1.233. Their batting has relied heavily on Sterre Kalis (258 runs at avg 43) and skipper Ellyse Perry (245 runs), while their bowling strength has revolved around Emily Arlott (15 wickets, SR 10) and Megan Schutt (10 wickets).

Despite a win against Rockets earlier, they’ve suffered heavy defeats including an 88-run hammering by London Spirit. Their middle-order fragility and inconsistent bowling in pressure games have hurt them. However, with experienced internationals like Perry and Schutt, Phoenix still possess the ability to spoil Rockets’ campaign in this encounter.

Predicted XI: Ellyse Perry (c), Georgia Voll, Emma Lamb, Amy Jones (wk), Megan Schutt, Emily Arlott, Hannah Baker, Georgie Boyce, Sterre Kalis, Marie Kelly, Bethan Ellis

Fantasy Team XI

Captain Picks: Nat Sciver-Brunt, Ashleigh Gardner
Vice-Captain Picks: Ashleigh Gardner, Sterre Kalis
Players to Avoid: Georgie Boyce (inconsistent batting form), Cassidy McCarthy (few opportunities with the ball)

Favourite Team Today

Trent Rockets Women enter this game as favourites due to their stronger balance and home advantage. With Nat Sciver-Brunt and Ashleigh Gardner firing in both departments, and their bowlers finding rhythm at the right time, Rockets appear the more settled side. Birmingham Phoenix, on the other hand, have been overly dependent on Perry and Kalis for runs, while their bowling has lacked control under pressure. The Rockets’ ability to close out matches in recent weeks gives them a psychological edge. Unless Phoenix’s bowlers produce a collective effort, Rockets are likely to dominate this clash.
