Essex Women Preview
Essex Women have endured a tough campaign, managing just 3 wins in 12 matches. Captain Grace Scrivens is under pressure to deliver, especially at home. Their batting has been inconsistent, often putting pressure on the bowlers.
In the last game, Jodi Grewcock (33 off 31) and Madeline Penna (26 off 24) showed glimpses of form. Lauren Winfield-Hill, if she gets going, could be a match-winner. But Essex’s middle order needs more composure and responsibility.
Bowling has seen some sparks. Eva Gray was impressive with 4/18 recently, while Abtaha Maqsood and Sophia Smale have contributed economically. However, they’ve struggled to contain stronger batting units.
Essex will need early breakthroughs, especially with Lancashire’s top order in red-hot form.
Key Players: Grace Scrivens, Eva Gray, Lauren Winfield-Hill
Lancashire Women Preview
Lancashire Women have been clinical. They’re coming off a strong win where Emma Lamb smashed 74 off 48 balls. With Lamb, Eve Jones, and Ailsa Lister forming a formidable top order, they’re favorites on paper.

The bowling department is firing with Tara Norris, Darcey Carter, and Mahika Gaur chipping in regularly. Their strength lies in picking wickets consistently and containing the run flow.
