Team Previews
Yorkshire Women Preview
Current Form: Strong (Won last match vs ECB Women by 4 wickets)
Yorkshire Women have shown excellent all-round performance throughout the tournament. Their batting has been anchored by Lauren Winfield-Hill (29 off 16 last match) and Rebecca Duckworth (46)* while Maddie Ward (4 wickets in tournament) leads a disciplined bowling attack. The team’s ability to chase down targets efficiently makes them dangerous opponents.
Key Strengths:
✔ Solid opening partnership (Winfield-Hill/Duckworth)
✔ Balanced bowling attack with wicket-taking options
✔ Excellent fielding standards
✔ Recent winning momentum
Weaknesses:
❌ Middle-order yet to be fully tested under pressure
❌ Lack of a genuine power-hitter in lower order
The Blaze Preview
Current Form: Dominant (Won last match vs Tasmania by 13 runs)
The Blaze’s campaign has been highlighted by Sarah Bryce’s magnificent century (100 off 57). The Bryce sisters (Sarah and Kathryn) form the backbone of their batting, while Grace Ballinger (4 wickets) leads the bowling attack. However, their over-reliance on few players could be exploited.
Key Strengths:
✔ Explosive top-order batting (Sarah Bryce in particular)
✔ Experienced all-rounders (Georgia Elwiss, Kathryn Bryce)
✔ Variety in bowling attack
Weaknesses:
❌ Over-dependence on Sarah Bryce for big runs
❌ Bowling can be expensive at times
❌ Fielding lapses in pressure situations
