Welsh Fire Women: Tammy Beaumont (c), Hayley Kristen Matthews, Sophia Dunkley, Sarah Bryce (wk), Emily Windsor, Alex Griffiths, Georgia Elwiss, Alex Hartley, Freya Davies, Shabnim Ismail, Claire Nicholas.
Southern Brave Women: Smriti Mandhana, Danni Wyatt, Maia Bouchier, Freya Kemp, Chloe Tryon, Georgia Adams, Maitlan Brown, Rhianna Southby (wk), Kalea Moore, Anya Shrubsole (c), Mary Taylor.
Smriti Mandhana: Smriti Mandhana will undoubtedly start as one the top players to watch out for in this game. She is currently the highest run-scorer of the tournament with 144 runs in four games, including two half centuries. In addition, Mandhana has 76 average against WEF-W in the tournament’s history.
Georgia Adams: Georgia Adams will be another top captaincy option ahead of this game. She has got off to a great start of the 2023 season. The SOB-W’s bowler is currently the highest wicket taker in the tournament with 10 wickets in four games.
Shabnim Ismail: Shabnim Ismail is currently WEF-W highest wicket taker. She is coming into this match on the back of two consecutive 3-wicket hauls. It is advisable to keep her as one of the captaincy choices ahead of this game.
Anya Shrubsole: Anya Shrubsole took 3 wickets when these two sides met last time at Sophia Gardens. Despite being a veteran of the game, Shrubsole is not amongst the most picked players for this game. Therefore, picking her as a differential pick can make a huge difference to your chances with your XI.
Lauren Bell: Lauren Bell is selected not even by half of the teams as of writing this. She has had a very good record against the Welsh Franchise in the past and is coming into this match on the back of a 2-wicket haul. She will be a near perfect pick which will be a big difference maker to your points tally.
Claire Nicholas: Nicholas has taken only one wicket in three games. She will be a risky choice coming into this match. It is advisable to avoid picking her any of your XIs ahead of this game.
