Match Details

Team Previews

Leicestershire Women Preview

Leicestershire Women have looked sharp and composed in their recent outings. Their chase of 121 in 18 overs against Worcestershire was anchored by Francesca Sweet, who scored a brilliant 67. Scarlett Hughes (37 runs) added valuable support, while other batters like Ellen Watson and Rebecca Brooker have been reliable throughout the campaign.

With the ball, Lucy Weston was the star performer in the previous game, returning figures of 4/20. Dnica Roff and April Herathge also chipped in with economical spells and wickets. The bowling unit has gelled well as a team, not allowing easy runs and maintaining pressure.

Leicestershire’s well-rounded team effort—solid top-order, disciplined bowling, and smart captaincy—makes them strong contenders for this match.

Predicted XI:
Rebecca Brooker, Ellen Watson, Lucy Weston, Francesca Sweet, Scarlett Hughes, Dnica Roff, April Herathge, Flora Davies, Laura Crofts, Elli Philips, Emma Thatcher

Northamptonshire Women Preview

Northamptonshire Women struggled in their last match, managing only 101/9 while chasing 119. Abby Butcher stood out with a gritty 47, but the rest of the batting lineup failed to make meaningful contributions. Their inconsistency in the top and middle order remains a major concern.

However, their bowlers performed exceptionally well in that same game. Lenny Sims (3/21) and Marley Reid (3/11) caused major problems for the opposition. Anisha Patel also offered control and took a wicket. Despite their limited resources, the bowling unit has shown the ability to create breakthroughs.

Northamptonshire will need a better batting display and must avoid early collapses if they’re to compete effectively against an in-form Leicestershire side.

Predicted XI:
Gemma Mariot, Annabella Howard, Michaela Kirk, Lenny Sims, Mabel Reid, Anisha Patel, Abby Butcher, Bethany Ascott, Poppy Smart, B Robinson, Alicia Presland
