SOB W vs BPH W: Teams Preview
Southern Brave Women
Table Toppers Southern Brave Women have a golden opportunity to cement their position atop the points table. Brave will put their every effort to emerge victorious in front of struggling Phoenix women. If their frontline bowlers, including the fiery trio of Georgia Adams, Anya Shrubsole, and Chloe Tryon, manage to dismiss Sophie Devine and Tess Flintoff early, it could send Birmingham Women on the defensive.
In the batting order, the onus will be on Maia Boucher who has the onus of doing miracles at No 3. It’s her exceptional performances that have laid the foundation of Brave’s glorious wins. The formidable duo of Smriti Mandhana and Danielle Wyatt opens the batting, while Georgia Adams, the dynamic right-handed batter at number 4, adds strength to the lineup.
But at times their middle & lower middle order has failed to perform. Marching into this clash they will have to work on that part. If their unit clicks in unison then a victory is not a dream for them.
Birmingham Phoenix Women
Birmingham Phoenix Women are determined to rise from the ground after enduring four losses and one abandoned match. Their capability was on full display as they nearly snatched victory from the jaws of defeat in the subsequent game, falling short by a mere 3 runs.
They will have to move one step ahead & win the fixture if improving their position on the Points table is their agenda. The openers Sophie Devine and Tess Flintoff provide the team with a robust start, but they need support from the middle order to unleash their attacking form of cricket.
Amy Jones, the pivotal batter at number 3, holds the key to Birmingham’s resurgence. Skipper Evelyn Jones relies on her to find her rhythm and anchor the middle order. The likes of Erin Burns and Evelyn Jones, batting at 4 and 5 respectively, contribute to the depth of the lineup.
Birmingham Phoenix’s Predicted Playing XI: Tess Flintoff, Sophie Devine, Amy Jones (wk), Erin Burns, Issy Wong, Evelyn Jones (c), Abigail Freeborn, Emily Arlott, Sterre Kalis, Hannah Baker, Katie Levick
