Players to watch out:
Bryony Smith
An absolute must-have in short-format cricket. She is an explosive opening batter who can take the game away in the Powerplay, and her right-arm off-break bowling frequently picks up crucial wickets. She brings incredible all-round value. In 6 innings so far she has scored 116 runs with 71 being her highest score.
Meg Austin
The anchor of the Bears’ batting lineup. She has been in fantastic touch, holding their top-order together and scoring consistently at a healthy strike rate. In 6 innings she has scored 209 runs with 74 being her highest score.
Pitch:
The Edgbaston wicket offers an excellent, true bounce that rewards fast bowlers early on and turns into a batter’s paradise as the game goes on. However, as the pitch wears, it slows down just enough to bring skilled spinners heavily into play.
Weather:
The conditions in Birmingham, United Kingdom, will be mostly sunny during the day with a high temperature of 31°C and partly cloudy at night with a low of 17°C.
