Team Previews
Hampshire Women Preview
Hampshire Women have been nothing short of brilliant in this year’s competition. Sitting comfortably at the top of the points table with 4 wins from 5 games, they look like a well-oiled unit. The top order has been consistent, especially with Ella McCaughan, who is the tournament’s leading scorer with 323 runs. The middle order, anchored by Georgia Adams and Rhianna Southby, adds depth and resilience, giving the team solid totals to defend. On the bowling front, Linsey Smith has been pivotal, picking up 13 wickets and controlling the flow of runs in the middle overs.
The team’s ability to balance aggression with discipline—both in batting and bowling—has made them a formidable side. Their recent win over Essex Women was another example of a complete team effort, showing composure under pressure, especially when defending a decent total.
Somerset Women Preview
Somerset Women have shown flashes of brilliance but lacked consistency. With 4 wins and 2 losses, they currently hold the 4th spot on the table. Their batting revolves around the experienced Heather Knight, who has scored 221 runs so far. However, Somerset’s biggest asset this season has been Amanda Jade Wellington, who has taken 12 wickets and troubled batters with her sharp spin.
Despite this, Somerset’s main issue has been middle-order collapses. Their last match against Surrey was a testament to that—despite having a star-studded top order, the team fell short while chasing a massive target. Players like Dani Gibson and Charlie Dean must step up if Somerset hopes to challenge Hampshire’s dominance.

Favourite Team Today – Hampshire Women
Hampshire Women look like the stronger side heading into this clash. They are in better form, have more match-winners, and display a cohesive team effort with both bat and ball. Their batting unit is rock solid, led by the in-form McCaughan and supported well by Adams and Perry. Their bowling department, with the likes of Linsey Smith and Freya Davies, offers variety and control, making them tough opponents.
Meanwhile, Somerset Women rely heavily on Heather Knight and Wellington. If either fails, the team tends to collapse. Hampshire’s superior depth and balanced squad give them a clear edge in today’s match. Expect Hampshire Women to dictate the game in both innings.
