Match 50 of the Women’s One Day Cup 2025 brings Lancashire Women up against Warwickshire Women at Rookwood, Sale, scheduled for September 10, 2025, at 3:00 PM IST. With the league stage nearing its conclusion, Lancashire, currently holding 3rd place with eight victories and four defeats from 12 matches, are in a strong position to push for the knockouts. Warwickshire, meanwhile, find themselves in 7th position with only two wins from ten completed games and are fighting to keep their campaign alive.
Lancashire approach this encounter with confidence after overcoming Surrey by 4 wickets in their previous outing. They have collected three wins in their last five fixtures, losing the other two, and look to continue their positive run. Warwickshire, in contrast, are enduring a difficult stretch — their latest outing ended in a 27-run defeat against Essex, and across the last five matches, they remain winless, recording four defeats and one no result.

Players to watch out:
Emma Lamb
The Lancashire opener has been the tournament’s most consistent batter, combining timing with temperament. She leads the run charts with 790 runs, which include six fifties and two centuries, highlighted by the best of 142. Beyond her batting, Lamb has chipped in with the ball as well, claiming 12 wickets to underline her all-round influence.
Kate Cross
The experienced seamer is enjoying another productive season. After a standout campaign in The Hundred 2025 with Northern Superchargers, where she collected 15 wickets in 10 appearances, Cross has carried that form into the One Day Cup. So far, she has 11 wickets in 12 games, with a best return of 3/55, and her lower-order 51 against Somerset proved her value with the bat too.
Davina Perrin
At just 18, Perrin has already become a vital cog for Warwickshire. Across 11 innings in this tournament, she has amassed 364 runs at an average of 33.09 and a strike rate of 84.45. Her summer has been remarkable, including a stunning century in the semi-final of the Women’s Hundred, and her ability to score under pressure makes her a key batter to watch.
Georgia Davis
Warwickshire’s premier off-spinner has been a constant wicket-taker since joining the side in 2015. She sits as the joint-highest wicket-taker in the current competition with 21 scalps, highlighted by her impressive 4/35 against Essex. Her control and variations with the ball will be crucial for Warwickshire’s chances.
Pitch:
The wicket at Rookwood in Sale generally offers an even contest between bat and ball. Pacers can exploit early movement, while spinners are expected to come into play as the surface wears. It is far from a batting paradise, meaning bowlers who maintain discipline are likely to dictate terms.
Weather:
Conditions in Sale are forecast to be cool and damp, with temperatures around 17°C. There is a 50% chance of light showers, though an uninterrupted game remains possible. Humidity is expected to hover at 84%, accompanied by winds blowing at 19 kph.
