This clash in the ECB Women’s One Day Cup 2026 at Scarborough features two teams looking to solidify their positions in the top half. Yorkshire Women are sitting fourth with 10 points after four games, having bounced back well with two consecutive wins after a shaky start. Durham, meanwhile, is in eighth place with 4 points from four outings. Despite the gap in points, Durham’s solitary win shows they have the talent to compete, but they desperately need a result tomorrow to avoid falling out of touch with the top four.

Players to watch out:
Jess Jonassen
Jess Jonassen has been a massive addition for Yorkshire, proving exactly why she was a marquee signing with her world-class all-round displays. In 4 matches, she has been a dual threat, scoring 205 runs at an average of 51.25, including a standout 108 against Lancashire. On the bowling front, she currently leads the tournament wicket-takers with 11 wickets at a clinical average of 9.72, highlighted by a match-winning spell of 4/18 against The Blaze.
Tahlia Wilson
Tahlia Wilson has been the linchpin of the Durham batting order, showing remarkable consistency at the top. She has accumulated 202 runs across 4 innings at an average of 50.50, anchored by a sensational career-best knock of 152 against Essex that featured 21 boundaries. Though she’s searching for her first half-century outside of that big ton, her strike rate of 83.47 has ensured Durham stays competitive throughout the middle overs.
Claudie Cooper
Claudie Cooper has quickly become one of the most reliable weapons in Yorkshire’s bowling arsenal this season. She has picked up 9 wickets in 4 matches, maintaining a steady economy rate of 4.67 and an impressive average of 13.33. Her ability to break partnerships has been vital, particularly in the opening round where she claimed 3/28 against Somerset and followed it up with another three-wicket haul in the dominant win over The Blaze.
Katherine Fraser
Katherine Fraser has been a key figure for Durham, providing control and crucial breakthroughs with her off-spin. She has taken 6 wickets in her 4 appearances so far, bowling with a disciplined economy of 4.89 and an average of 15.50. Her best figures of 3/32 came during the opening match against Lancashire, and she has consistently managed to keep the pressure on opposing batters by bowling over 110 dot balls in the tournament already.
