She has been one of Lancashire’s most reliable batters, showing the ability to anchor the innings while also maintaining an aggressive scoring rate at the top of the order.

Marie Kelly
Green has made 135 runs in 5 matches at an average of 33.75 and a strike rate of 131.06. Her experience and ability to stabilize the middle order while accelerating during the latter stages of the innings make her a crucial batter for The Blaze.
Grace Ballinger
Ballinger has taken 7 wickets in 4 matches with best figures of 3/24. She has maintained an impressive average of 12.00 and an economy rate of 5.25, making her one of the standout bowlers for The Blaze this season. Her ability to strike regularly and control the run flow makes her a major threat in the middle overs.
Grace Potts
Potts has picked up 5 wickets in 4 matches with best figures of 2/29. She has bowled 14.3 overs this season at an economy rate of 7.37 and an average of 21.40. Her ability to provide breakthroughs with the new ball adds significant value to Lancashire’s bowling attack.
Pitch:
Trent Bridge is a high-scoring ground with a flat pitch, even bounce, and a fast outfield. Batters who spend time at the crease can score big, and the short side boundaries make shot-making easier. Fast bowlers may get help early in the innings due to cloud cover and humidity, which can help the ball swing. Many high scores have been made here, so it is known as a batting-friendly ground.
Weather:
Nottingham will stay cloudy through the day with temperatures near 19°C and a low of 13°C. Humidity will be around 69%, with almost no chance of rain at 0%. Winds around 24 km/h may help seam bowlers early, but overall conditions should stay good for a full match.
