Oval Invincibles Women – Team Preview
Oval Invincibles arrive with renewed confidence after their win over Birmingham Phoenix Women. The batting unit, anchored by Meg Lanning, Alice Capsey, and Lauren Winfield-Hill, showed strong intent. Capsey’s 52 (29) was the standout performance, supported by Lanning’s quickfire 36 and Winfield-Hill’s composed 33. The middle order, featuring Paige Scholfield and Marizanne Kapp, adds depth and versatility. Bowling-wise, Amanda-Jade Wellington and Marizanne Kapp lead a disciplined attack, supported by Tash Farrant and Sophia Smale. Wellington’s 2/27 in the last match proved pivotal. The Invincibles’ ability to strike early and maintain scoreboard pressure will be key against a fragile Welsh Fire batting order.
Predicted XI: Lauren Winfield-Hill (c & wk), Meg Lanning, Alice Capsey, Marizanne Kapp, Paige Scholfield, Joanne Gardner, Phoebe Franklin, Amanda-Jade Wellington, Tash Farrant, Ryana MacDonald-Gay, Sophia Smale.
Welsh Fire Women – Team Preview
Welsh Fire have struggled for momentum, losing three in a row. Tammy Beaumont and Hayley Matthews are crucial at the top but have been inconsistent. In the last game, Matthews scored 22, while Jess Jonassen added 20, yet the middle order faltered. Sophia Dunkley and Georgia Elwiss will need to step up if Welsh Fire are to challenge the Invincibles’ bowling. With the ball, Shabnim Ismail remains the spearhead, alongside Freya Davies and Jess Jonassen. Despite each claiming one wicket against Manchester Originals, Welsh Fire’s attack hasn’t been able to defend moderate totals. Their hopes hinge on an improved all-round display, particularly from the top four batters.
Predicted XI: Sophia Dunkley, Hayley Matthews, Tammy Beaumont (c), Georgia Elwiss, Jess Jonassen, Sarah Bryce (wk), Emily Windsor, Katie George, Freya Davies, Shabnim Ismail, Katie Levick.

Welsh Fire’s batting collapses have been a recurring issue, making them vulnerable if they lose early wickets. Invincibles’ ability to dominate both powerplay and death overs could seal another victory.
