Welsh Fire Women: Tammy Beaumont (c), Sophia Dunkley, Sarah Bryce (wk), Ella McCaughan, Georgia Elwiss, Alex Griffiths, Georgia Elwiss, Alex Hartley, Freya Davies, Shabnim lsmail, Claire Nicholas.
London Spirit Women: Danielle Gibson, Grace Harris, Heather Knight (c), Amelia Kerr, Richa Ghosh (wk), Niamh Holland, Charlie Dean, Sarah Glenn, Lauren Filer, Tara Norris, Alice Monaghan
Tammy Beaumont: Tammy Beaumont scored a brilliant century in her last outing at Cardiff. She is currently the highest run-scorer for WEF-W and third in the overall top run-scorer list in the tournament. She has 213 runs in five games, including a century and a half century.
Shabnim Ismail: Shabnim Ismail has 3 wickets in two games at Cardiff this season. Overall, she has been WEF-W’s best bowler this season with 9 wickets at an impressive strike rate of 11.11. It is advisable to keep her as one of your captaincy choices for this game.
Amelia Kerr: The Kiwi has been one of the best players for LNS-W this season. Her all-round abilities make her different from the crowd. In addition, she is coming on the back of an impressive performance with both bat and ball in LNS-W’s last game against the Superchargers.
Tara Norris: Tara Norris can make a huge difference on her good days. Despite underperforming with the ball in the tournament so far, this one game at Cardiff will be worth taking a risk on her. In addition, she has not been even picked by 10% of the teams as of writing this.
Grace Harris: Grace Harris has been selected by 9% of the teams as of writing this. And rightly so as she could only earn 76 points in four games she has played. However, considering the conditions for the batters at Cardiff, it is advisable to pick Harris as one of your differential options for this match.
Charlie Dean: The LNS-W spinner has not been as consistent by her standard. In addition, the conditions at Cardiff might not be the best for her. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid picking her in any of your XI ahead of this game.
