Players to watch out:
Sterre Kalis
The Netherlands international has brought immense stability to Warwickshire’s top order. In the ongoing campaign, she’s already notched up a fluent 52 off 25 against Essex women. In 44 WT20Is appearances, she has amassed 1358 runs with the highest score of 126 and picked up 4 wickets with the best bowling figure of 2/11. Her experience playing across European leagues makes her a vital asset.
Millie Taylor
A rising bowling all-rounder, Millie Taylor has been impressive with the ball in the middle-overs. In the previous match against Essex, she picked up 2 crucial wickets conceding 27 runs. The emerging player offers crucial breakthroughs.
Ellie Anderson
Ellie has quietly emerged as one of Somerset’s most consistent bowlers. In the recent encounter against Essex, she picked up 3 crucial wickets conceding 19 runs. The emerging young gun is effective both in the powerplay and at death overs with her judgment in tight lines and lengths.
Pitch:
The Edgbaston surface generally favours bowlers over batters. Pacers find help early on with consistent bounce, but as the game progresses, it slows down offering assistance to spinners. It’s a good chasing ground, especially if the cloud cover lingers.
Weather:
The conditions in Birmingham are expected to be cool and overcast, with temperatures hovering around 14°C, a cloudy overhead and high humidity levels at 87%. There’s a 30% chance of light precipitation, which might cause brief delays.
