Team Previews

Birmingham Phoenix Women Preview

Birmingham Phoenix Women enter the 2025 edition looking to improve on their 7th-place finish last year. In 2024, they managed only 3 wins from 8 matches (with one no result), closing with 7 points and a poor net run rate of -0.742. Despite flashes of brilliance, inconsistency plagued their campaign.

Key players include Ellyse Perry, who offers tremendous all-round value, and Sterre Kalis, a consistent top-order batter. Perry contributed 203 runs and 8 wickets last season, proving her worth with both bat and ball. Emily Arlott has been Phoenix’s go-to strike bowler, picking up 14 wickets in 9 games with a strike rate of 12.5.

Recent form has been average — two wins, two losses, and a no result in their last five. But playing at home and with a settled lineup under Perry’s leadership, Phoenix will hope to make a stronger start this time.

Trent Rockets Women Preview

Trent Rockets Women narrowly missed out on the playoffs in 2024, finishing 5th with 4 wins and 4 losses. They showed more consistency than their rivals and ended the season with 8 points and a solid Net Run Rate of +0.407.

The backbone of this side is Nat Sciver-Brunt, the top scorer last season with 303 runs and a strike rate over 135. She now boasts 342 runs in her last 10 matches at an average close to 49. Ashleigh Gardner is another big name — she scored 176 runs at a strike rate of 138.58 and picked up 10 wickets at an economy of 6.86.

Trent Rockets also feature reliable bowlers like Heather Graham, who took 9 wickets in 8 games, providing control and breakthroughs in the middle overs. Under the leadership of Sciver-Brunt and with a well-balanced team, Rockets will be eyeing a playoff spot this season.

Nat Sciver-Brunt and Ashleigh Gardner are proven match-winners. Additionally, their bowling attack, including Heather Graham and Alana King, provides more control and wicket-taking ability than Phoenix’s.
