WFW vs OVIW Team Previews
Welsh Fire Women
The Welsh Fire made a winning start to their campaign as they defeated the Manchester Originals in an engaging encounter.
Sophia Dunkley was in prime form as she scored 69 runs from 47 deliveries to help her team achieve the 114-run target relatively easily. She will once again look to give the team a strong start along with her opening partner Tammy Beaumont.
Sarah Bryce and Ella McCaughan are two dependable batters in the middle order. Bryce has been in particularly good form during the recent Charlotte Edwards Cup, where she plays for The Blaze. Welsh Fire has plenty of all-rounders playing for them as well, including Hayley Matthews, Jess Jonassen, Georgia Elwiss, and Phoebe Franklin who add plenty of depth to the batting.
The spinners bowled brilliantly in the last match as they picked up 6 of the 7 wickets to fall in the previous game. The seamers on the other hand were quite economical, with Shabnim Ismail leading the charge.

Tammy Beaumont, Sophia Dunkley, Hayley Matthews, Sarah Bryce, Jess Jonassen, Georgia Elwiss, Phoebe Franklin, Beth Langston, Freya Davies, Georgia Davis, Shabnim Ismail.
Oval Invincibles Women
Just like their opponents, the Oval Invincibles too made a winning start to their campaign by defeating Birmingham in a one-sided affair. As a result, they are at the top of the points table with an excellent NRR.
The Oval Invincibles had bet heavily on acquiring quality domestic talent and that seems to have paid off, at least in this opening match. Paige Schofield and Alice Capsey were in brilliant form with the bat as they put up a 90-run partnership in just 55 deliveries to propel the Invincibles to a massive total.
However, if they fail to get going, the Oval Invincibles could be staring at a collapse as barring Marizanne Kapp and Laura Harris, they lack dependable international talent in the batting line-up. The visitors have a pretty strong spin attack consisting of Amanda Jade-Wellington, Mady Villiers, and Sophia Smale.
The seam department however lacks a full-time option with Kapp likely to lead the attack.
