The surface at the Kennington Oval in London has been a balanced one. Batters have made runs but bowlers have equally managed to keep a check on the run flow. Chasing will not be an easy task on this surface, therefore, batting first should be the ideal option after winning the toss. The first innings score is expected to be around 150.
There is a good chance of precipitation during the second half of the day. However, the match is expected to be not interrupted.
There is no major news reported from both sides.
Northern Superchargers Women: Marie Kelly, Jemimah Rodrigues, Phoebe Litchfield, Bess Heath, Hollie Armitage, Georgia Wareham, Alice Davidson-Richards, Kate Cross, Leah Dobson, Lucy Higham, Grace Ballinger
Welsh Fire Women: Tammy Beaumont, Sophia Dunkley, Hayley Matthews, Sarah Bryce, Laura Harris, Georgia Elwiss, Freya Davies, Alex Griffiths, Shabnim Ismail, Claire Nicholas, Alex Hartley
Phoebe Litchfield: Phoebe Litchfield will undoubtedly be the safest captaincy pick for this game. The Australian top-order batter is currently the highest run-scorer in the tournament with more than 260 runs at an average of 38. In addition, she is coming into this match with an impressive 26-ball 40 in the last league game against WEF-W.
Sophia Dunkley: Sophia Dunkley will be another brilliant captaincy pick for this game. The English international has been a consistent performer for WEF-W with both bat and ball. Considering the conditions at Oval, WEF-W will need Dunkley’s all-round abilities in this match.
Shabnim Ismail: Shabnim Ismail finished the league stage as the top wicket-taker for WEF-W. In seven games she has picked 11 wickets, including a 3-wicket haul at the Oval against the Invincibles. She will be another safe captaincy choice going forward to this game.
Hollie Armitage: Hollie Armitage will be a brilliant differential pick for this game. She has been a silent performer for NOS-W throughout the tournament. She has been selected by only 7% of the teams as of writing this, making her one of the biggest possible difference makers in your XIs.
Lucy Higham: Higham has been selected hardly any team as of writing this. Considering the conditions at the Oval, it is advisable to keep Higham as one of your differential pick for this match, especially in absence of Linsey Smith.
Georgia Elwiss: Elwiss has been selected by a significant number of teams as of writing this. However, she hasn’t made much of an impact in the last few games for WEF-W and therefore it is advisable to keep her out of all your XIs for this match.
