BAA vs SPI Team Previews

Barmy Army Team

The Barmy Army finished second on the points table but did not make it to the finals after a loss against the eventual winners, the Tornadoes, in the semifinals.  However, the team will be looking to put up an even stronger performance here.

In a big change, Lauren Winfield-Hill will take over the reins of the team from Heather Knight for this season. Winfield-Hill has been a consistent performer with the bat for England over the past few years. She will be supported by Deandra Dottin and Laura Wolvaardt, both of whom are capable of scoring runs at a brisk pace.

All-rounders Roberta Avery and Shemaine Campbelle add depth to the batting. The pace attack will be spearheaded by Tara Norris, who impressed everyone with the ball in the recently concluded WPL. She will be supported by Fatima Sana at the other end, while Rumana Ahmed, who was the leading wicket-taker for the team last season will lead the spin attack along with Ruchitha Venkatesh.

Spirit Women

In the last season, Spirit Women ended the group stage at the top of the table, with just 1 loss in 5 matches.

However, they are missing a couple of key players here.

Nicola Carey will once again lead the team here. She led her team from the front in the last season and was quite consistent with the bat. In addition to Carey, the Spirit Women have a strong top order consisting of Sophia Dunkley, Natthakan Chantam, Bismah Mahroof, and Sarah Bryce.

Dunkley will be especially an important cog in the Spirit line-up thanks to her all-round abilities. However, in a big setback, Sophie Ecclestone, who was their go-to bowler in the last season, will be missing in action. In her absence, Shizuka Miyaji will lead the spin attack.

She will be assisted by Nattaya Boochatham and Sophia Dunkley during the middle overs. Ayabonga Khaka is likely to open the new-ball attack along with Nicola Carey.
