Team Previews
Lancashire Women Preview:
Lancashire Women have stamped their authority early in the tournament, sitting comfortably at the top of the table with 2 wins in 2 games. Their batting unit looks rock solid, led by the dynamic Emma Lamb, who has already racked up 182 runs. Evelyn Jones has also impressed with her consistency and ability to build big partnerships. In their last game, they comfortably chased down 205 against Somerset Women, thanks to an explosive 151-run opening stand between Jones and Lamb.
With the ball, Hannah Jones has emerged as the leader, scalping 5 wickets and controlling the middle overs effectively. Lancashire’s depth is further boosted by the presence of Sophie Ecclestone and Kate Cross — experienced bowlers capable of winning matches single-handedly. Their combination of aggressive batting and disciplined bowling makes them a well-balanced unit going into this clash.
Hampshire Women Preview:
Hampshire Women are no pushovers, sitting at 3rd on the table with one win in two matches. Their batting clicked in the previous game against Surrey Women, where they posted a challenging 259/8. Key contributions came from Ella McCaughan and Maia Bouchier, who looked in fine touch. Hampshire’s batting lineup has multiple contributors, making them a versatile side.
Bowling-wise, Linsey Smith has been the standout performer with 7 wickets. Supported by Lauren Bell and Freya Davies, Hampshire have a balanced pace-spin attack. The only concern is their middle-order fragility, which could be exposed if early wickets fall. Still, they are a capable side with potential to upset the table-toppers if their key players deliver.
