THE TEAM NEWS
TRENT ROCKETS WOMEN
- This Trent Rockets side can call upon plenty of big-match campaigners at international level, with ICC number one ranked T20i all-rounder in the world Nat Sciver, set to captain the team.
- Plenty will depend upon Sciver’s contribution with both bat and ball here, whilst New Zealand wicketkeeper batter Rachel Priest will be hoping to get the Rockets off to a good start opening the batting.
- Trent Rockets are well stocked with the ball, their bowling attack led by the vastly experienced Katherine Brunt and complimented by both Sciver alongside fellow England international Sarah Glenn with her leg-spin bowling, they seem to have all bases covered.
SOUTHERN BRAVE WOMEN
- Legend of England cricket Charlotte Edwards coaches the Southern Brave, who could be set to dazzle with the power hitting potential among their ranks.
- England limited overs star Danni Wyatt heads into the tournament in great form after her match winning knock in the third T20i vs India saw England seal a multi format series triumph and she is joined by long time England teammate Anya Shrubsole, who is a potent force with the ball although has suffered this summer due to injuries.
- Indian T20i opener Smriti Mandhana could well be set for the same role here for Southern Brave, whilst all-rounder Stefanie Taylor from the West Indies is a big hitting all-rounder with plenty of experience playing in England, having competed in numerous editions of the now defunct Kia Super League.
THE PREDICTION
A high scoring encounter may be on the cards between these two sides, with both stacked with international stars when it comes to their top order batting, particularly on a ground like Trent Bridge, which has proven a happy hunting ground for batters. Therefore, this match is likely to be decided by the respective bowling units of each time, which bodes well for Trent Rockets. In Brunt, Sciver and Glenn, the hosts contain plenty of variation within their attack, not to mention plenty of match experience this summer, whilst Southern Brave’s Shrubsole has recently been plagued by injury and Australian overseas spin-bowler Amanda-Jade Wellington has not played a competitive fixture since March. With that in mind, Trent Rockets should be able to restrict Southern Brave’s batting significantly enough to edge out this game.
