BIPW vs WFW 14th Match Prediction

BIPW vs WFW Team Previews

Birmingham Phoenix Women

With 3 matches already behind them, the Birmingham Phoenix W are yet to register a win this season. However, their match against the Trent Rockets W was washed out, which gave them the solitary point against their name. Playing at home, the Phoenix now has a good opportunity to get back to form.

It has been a poor batting effort from the team so far as except for Sophie Devine, none of the batters have been able to get going. Devine is the leading run-scorer for the team with 73 runs and will look to give Birmingham a good start alongside skipper Evelyn Jones. Middle-order batters Amy Jones, Abigail Freeborn, and Erin Jones have struggled to score runs.

The story continues with the bowlers too as except for Katie Levick, the bowlers haven’t been able to put the opposition under pressure. The pace attack has some big names including Issy Wong, Tess Flintoff, and Emily Arlott, and the team will be hoping that they bowl a good spell with the new ball. 

Welsh Fire Women

The journey of the Welsh Fire W has been diametrically opposite compared to its opponents. The team has won 2 of its 3 matches, while 1 match was abandoned due to rain. With 5 points, the Welsh Fire are sitting quite comfortably in the top 3.

Hayley Matthews and Tammy Beaumont will look to give the team a good start here, which they failed to give in the last match. Hayley Matthews scored a blistering half-century in the match against Southern Brave and is the leading run-scorer for the team.

There is plenty of depth in Welsh Fire’s batting as Sophia Dunkley, Laura Harris, and Sarah Bryce are all capable batters. The seamers, Alex Griffiths and Shabnim Ismail have done an excellent job with the new ball and picked up 7 wickets between them.

They have been well supported by Georgia Elwiss. All-rounders Matthews and Sophia Dunkley will feature in the spin department.
