Team Previews
The Blaze Women Preview:
The Blaze have had an impressive season. Led by Kirstie Gordon, their bowling attack is well-rounded with options like Heather Graham, Sarah Glenn, and Kathryn Bryce. Their batting depth is another major strength with star players like Tammy Beaumont, Michaela Kirk, and Marie Kelly.
Kathryn Bryce has led from the front, topping both the batting and bowling charts for The Blaze. Their recent win over Essex Women was a showcase of their all-round ability. Despite early stumbles in the innings, Heather Graham and Bryce steadied the ship and defended their total well with Gordon’s 4-wicket haul being pivotal.
Hampshire Women Preview:
Hampshire Women have struggled with consistency. Despite having international-caliber players like Ellyse Perry, Georgia Adams, and Freya Kemp, they haven’t clicked as a unit. Their middle-order collapses have been costly.
In their previous match against Warwickshire Women, Perry played a lone hand in the chase. Bowling-wise, Rebecca Tyson has been a bright spot with 15 wickets, but support from others has been inconsistent. They’ll need a complete team performance to upset the Blaze.
