Players to watch out:
Eve Jones
Eve Jones led the scoring charts with absolute authority for Lancashire. She piled up 593 runs in 13 innings at a stellar average of 45.61, anchoring the batting order brilliantly. With 4 half-centuries, 58 boundaries, and a top score of 113, she stood out as one of the elite top-order batters of the tournament.
Hollie Armitage
Hollie Armitage was a force at the top of the order for Durham, featuring in 14 matches. She notched 485 runs with an average of 37.30, anchored by an outstanding 106. Scoring four fifties and striking 55 boundaries, she was key to giving her team solid starts throughout the campaign.
Kate Cross
Kate Cross spearheaded the Lancashire bowling unit with her trademark accuracy and control. She picked up 22 wickets across 13 matches while giving away just 4.39 runs per over. Her best figures of 4 for 33 underlined her capacity to step up and dismantle top orders in big games.
Katie Levick
Katie Levick proved to be an absolute match-winner for Durham with her crafty spin bowling. Over 14 matches, she grabbed 21 wickets while bowling over 132 overs. Her campaign was highlighted by a sensational 6 for 37 performances, which stood as one of the finest single-game bowling spells in the league.
Pitch:
Old Trafford offers a fair balance between bat and ball. Early on, seamers get reliable bounce and carrying pace, but as the match progresses, the surface dries out, frequently turning the venue into one of the most spin-friendly tracks in England.
Weather:
The conditions promise sunny intervals with highs near 23°C and a small chance of a brief shower. The passing showers wouldn’t interrupt the cricket much, with a complete game likely.
