Match 14: Lancashire Women vs Yorkshire Women - Squads, Preview and Live Streaming Details

There’s more than just local pride at stake in this Roses battle at Old Trafford in the ECB Women’s One Day Cup 2026, with both teams locked closely together in the middle of the table. Lancashire currently hold the 5th spot, while Yorkshire sit just one place behind in 6th. Both teams have a mirrored record of one win and two losses from their opening three games, though Lancashire’s superior Net Run Rate—boosted by a massive 149-run win over Durham—keeps them marginally ahead. A win tomorrow for either side would provide some much-needed breathing room in a congested mid-table.

Players to watch out:

Eve Jones

Eve has been a mainstay for Lancashire, appearing in all three matches and totaling 139 runs. She has been a steadying influence with an average of 46.33 and one half-century, scoring a season-best of 82. While her strike rate of 64.35 is more measured, her role as an anchor has allowed the more aggressive players around her to flourish.

Lauren Winfield-Hill

Lauren is currently among the top run-scorers in the competition, sitting on 186 runs after three matches for Yorkshire. She has been remarkably consistent with two half-centuries and an average of 62.00, proving she is still one of the most reliable openers in the domestic circuit. Her highest score of 90 was a masterclass in pacing a 50-over innings.

Sophie Ecclestone

The world-class spinner has made an immediate impact for Lancashire, taking 5 wickets in just two games at a lean average of 11.20. Her economy rate is a staggering 3.11, which is comfortably among the best in the tournament, making it nearly impossible for batters to get her away. Her best figures of 3/46 show her knack for taking wickets even when the opposition tries to attack.

Jess Jonassen

Jess has been a standout all-rounder for Yorkshire, contributing significantly with both disciplines. She has taken 7 wickets at an average of 11.00, including a brilliant 4/18, while also chipping in with 97 runs at the crease. Her economy rate of 3.66 combined with a batting strike rate of 93.26 makes her one of the most valuable overseas players in the 2026 Cup.

Pitch:

Known for having some of the fastest and bounciest pitches in England, Old Trafford is unique. It is arguably the best ground for high-quality leg-spin in the country, as the soil often dries out and cracks. Pace bowlers who can hit the deck hard also find plenty of joy here due to that extra zip off the surface.

Weather:

Generally unpredictable, the forecast shows a mix of sunshine and cloud with a high around 17°C. Always keep an eye on the sky here—rain is a frequent visitor.

Fantasy Playing XI:

Eve Jones, Katie Mack, Sophie Ecclestone, Mahika Gaur, Alisa Lister, Alana King, Sophie Morris, Tara Norris, Jess Jonassen, Sterre Kalis, Lauren Winfield-Hill
