Players to watch out:
Louise Little
The 21-year-old all-rounder, from 4 outings in this competition, has added 65 runs to the tally and also has a wicket to her name. Louise had a notable start to her campaign, registering scores of 19 (21), 21 (21), 24 (30), and 1 (3), while her bowling figures read 1/25 (3), 0/17 (1), and 0/16 (1). She’ll be backed to rediscover her form, delivering the goods.
Arlene Kelly
The 30-year-old all-rounder, in this competition from 4 outings, has accumulated 68 runs and scalped 5 wickets. Arlene has returned bowling figures of 2/24 (4), 1/14 (2), 1/18 (4), and 1/6 (2) and while she wasn’t required much with the bat in the initial games, her scores from her recent outings read 29* (16) and 25* (21). The team can count on her for all-round efforts, continuing this momentum.
Rebecca Stokell
The 24-year-old middle-order batter, from 3 innings in this competition, has posted 81 runs on the board. Rebecca faced only 5 balls, remaining unbeaten on 5* in the season opener, and in the subsequent games has registered promising scores of 33 (28) and 43* (42). Given her success, she’ll be relied upon for the runs, carrying this form into the business end.
Sarah Forbes
The 21-year-old all-rounder, in this competition, from 3 outings has scored 66 runs and in her only bowling innings struck 3 scalps. Though Sarah departed for 14 (22) in her first outing and 1 (5) in her most recent outing, she registered a high score of 51 (52), while in her only bowling inning, she bagged figures of 3/13 (4), including big wickets. She can be banked on to contribute significantly.
Pitch:
The center wicket poses a challenge for batters to score runs with ease, and the modest average score at Woodvale Road suggests the same. Bowlers, particularly pacers, play a crucial role in dictating the game’s outcome.
Weather:
The conditions in Eglinton aren’t ideal, with rain on the radar throughout the day, so expect interruptions and delays. The temperature is expected to hover around 14°C, with moderate winds and 90% humidity.
