WFW vs NOSW Team Previews
Welsh Fire Women
Welsh Fire has been the most consistent team this season. With 4 wins in 5 matches, they are currently at the top of the points table. A win here will almost guarantee them a place in the playoffs.
Sophia Dunkley and Tammy Beaumont have been pretty consistent at the top of the order and have got the team off to some good starts. Dunkley is the leading run-scorer for the team with 125 runs. Sarah Bryce is another solid performer in the middle order who is capable of taking on the spinners.
The hosts have two strong all-rounders in the form of Jess Jonassen and Hayley Matthews. Jonassen is the joint-highest wicket-taker for the team with 8 wickets and has also scored 94 runs. She has received excellent support from Georgia Davis at the other end, who too has picked up 8 wickets.
The seamers however have been a bit inconsistent, with Freya Davies and Beth Langston managing to pick only 11 wickets between them.

Northern Superchargers Women
Just like their opponents, Northern Superchargers has lost just 1 match so far. However, as one of their matches was a tie, they are trailing Welsh Fire by 1 point.
Annabel Sutherland has been in brilliant form with the bat as well as the ball. She is the leading run-scorer for the team with 162 runs and has also picked up 10 wickets. She, along with Davidson Richards and Phoebe Litchfield makes up for a strong middle order.
However, the other batters haven’t been as consistent and that is something the team needs to work on. The openers, Hollie Armitage and Davina Perrin are both averaging under 10 runs, and wicketkeeper-batter Bess Heath has struggled as well.
The bowling has been one of the highlights for the Northern Superchargers this season. Linsey Smith is the leading wicket-taker of the season with 11 wickets. She will be joined by Georgia Wareham in the spin department, while Sutherland, Kate Cross, and Grace Ballinger will feature in the pace department.

Pitch and Conditions
The Sophia Gardens usually offers a balanced surface and we can look forward to an exciting game of cricket. The surface is firm and offers a good bounce early in the match. The new ball will zip around a bit but once the batter is settled, they will be able to play their shots.
The team batting first will aim for the 130-run mark. The spinners will get some turn during the second half, making things difficult for the batting side.
The weather is likely to remain overcast and there is a high probability that we will see some rain.
WFW vs NOSW Betting Tips
Welsh Fire and Northern Superchargers are two of the strongest teams in the league and we are expecting a close contest between the two. While there is no clear favorite, we feel that Welsh Fire has a slight edge thanks to a stronger batting line-up and a well-balanced squad.
Bet on Welsh Fire to win.
Bonus Cricket Bets
Linsey Smith is the leading wicket-taker of the tournament and has picked up at least 2 wickets in each of her 5 outings. She has been the top bowler for her team twice during the time and seeing the odds on offer, we are backing her to bowl another good spell.
The pitch at the Sophia Gardens isn’t the easiest to bat on. The stadium has hosted two matches so far this season and both games have seen fewer than 28 4s being scored. As both teams have a strong bowling line-up, the batters will find it difficult to get going.
