She has registered two half-centuries, including the highest of 81*.

Ella McCaughan
McCaughan has scored 106 runs in 5 matches this season at an average of 21.20 and a strike rate of 106.00. Her highest score of 69 shows her ability to build an innings at the top. In Hampshire’s last match against Essex Women, she made 6 runs from 13 balls before getting out early.
Georgia Adams
Adams has been steady this season with 103 runs in 5 matches at an average of 20.60 and a strike rate of 100.98. In Hampshire’s last match against Essex Women, she played a useful knock of 18 runs from 19 balls and also led the team well as captain in a strong 155/4 total.

In Lancashire’s last outing against The Blaze, she delivered her best performance of the season, picking up 5 wickets for 20 runs and almost single-handedly keeping her side in the contest.
Pitch:
Stanley Park in Blackpool is usually a good batting surface with true bounce and steady pace. Batters who spend time in the middle can play their shots freely and build big scores. Fast bowlers can get a little swing with the new ball, especially early in the innings, and while spinners do not get much help here, they usually rely on accuracy and variation.
Weather:
The temperatures will be around 13°C and a low of 10°C. Humidity will be close to 72%, while winds could reach 32 km/h. There is around a 40% chance of rain, so short interruptions are possible, but a full match is still likely.
