Players to watch out:

Britney Cooper

The 34-year-old batter hasn’t scored many runs this domestic season; however, she has managed to register a string of starts in the ongoing T20 Blaze. Building on the starts, Britney registered a 53-ball 44* in her most recent outing and it’ll be expected that the seasoned batter continues on this form.

Shalini Samaroo

The 20-year-old off-spinner bagged a few wickets in the Super50 Cup and has struck 5 wickets from 3 Blaze outings. Shalini scored 14 in the Blaze opener and didn’t have a bowl. In the subsequent games, while she didn’t score many runs, she returned figures of 1/15, 3/14, and 1/18. She can be relied upon for an all-round effort.

Kycia Knight

The 32-year-old keeper-batter scored plenty of runs in the lead-up to the T20 Blaze, amassing big runs in the Super50 Cup. Kycia scored a 41-ball 37 in the T20 opener and didn’t feature in the following couple of games. However, she scored 17 runs in her most recent outing and will be backed to build on this start.

Erin Deane

The 18-year-old off-spinner had a notable Super50 Cup campaign, and continuing with the momentum, has claimed 5 wickets from 4 T20 outings. Erin was punished for runs in the opener; however, she recorded figures of 2/12 (4), 1/15 (3), and 2/18 (4) in the subsequent games. She can be counted on to deliver the goods.

Pitch:

The Warner Park wicket offers a fairly balanced center wicket that provides runs for batters and a good amount of assistance to bowlers as well. The average score at the venue is in the 110s, and spinners have the upper hand on the track.

Weather:

With the temperature expected to hover around 22°C and no chance of rain, we are in for a complete game of cricket. The overhead conditions will be partly cloudy, with light winds, and humidity at 72%.
