Players to watch out:

Amy Hunter

The 18-year-old keeper-batter, from 27 ODI innings, has accumulated 667 runs at an average of 27.79, with the highest score of 121*. Amy has been in notable form of late, registering scores of 9, 42, and 66 in her most recent ODI series last month, and while she departed cheaply for 2 in her most recent outing, she scored a solid 37 in this series opener. She can be relied upon for runs.

Alice Tector

The 16-year-old all-rounder, from 4 ODIs, has added 39 runs to the tally, with the highest score of 21, while also taking 2 wickets and maintaining an economy rate of 6.52. Alice was a standout this domestic season with as many as 13 wickets from 6 One-Dayers, while also being handy with the bat. In this series, she has managed a start and taken a wicket, but hopefully, she capitalizes on this start.

Hollie Armitage

The 27-year-old middle-order batter, from 12 outings in the 2024 One Day season, amassed 453 runs at an average of 43.50, while also scalping 4 wickets from 2 innings, with bests of 103 and 3/40. Hollie, on her ODI debut, scored a fine 44 in this series opener, followed by 19, though she hasn’t bowled yet. She can be counted on for a big score, building on this form.

Georgia Davis

The 25-year-old spinner, from 5 outings in the 2024 One Day competition, picked up 8 wickets, including the best of 6/23, while maintaining an economy rate of 4.04. Georgia has been consistent across domestic competitions of late and was rewarded with a debut in the team’s most recent game, where she made an immediate impact with figures of 2/19. She can be banked upon for breakthroughs.

Pitch:

The Belfast wicket, with an average score in the 230s, is a well-balanced pitch that offers a fair contest between bat and ball. However, bowlers certainly have the upper hand, and batters who spend sufficient time in the middle benefit, as scoring becomes easier.

Weather:

With showers on the radar, expect rain delays and interruptions during the game if the skies don’t clear. The temperature is expected to be around 11°C, with moderate winds and 68% humidity.
