Central Sparks vs Northern Diamonds Women Dream 11 Prediction 5th Match

CES vs NOD Dream11 Prediction

The ongoing edition of the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy for the year 2023 began on a remarkable note on Saturday with an unprecedented number of players on professional contracts. All eight teams took to the field on the opening day of the season and the games lived up to the hype, providing an enticing display of skills between the bat and the ball.

Sunrisers, who have not registered a win in the competition's three-year history, kicked off their campaign against two-time champions Southern Vipers at the Ageas Bowl. Meanwhile, South East Stars locked horns with Thunder while Western Storm faced defending champions Northern Diamonds. The latter emerged victorious in their match with a comfortable win over Western Storm. Nottinghamshire's team, The Blaze, took over Loughborough-based Lightning and hosted Central Sparks in a game where the bowlers had a field day.

The next match in the tournament is highly anticipated, as Northern Diamonds take on Central Sparks in what is expected to be a nail-biting contest. The match, scheduled for the 29th of April 2023, is expected to showcase the battle between Central Sparks' bowling and Northern Diamonds' batting.

CES vs NOD Match Preview

Northern Diamonds started their campaign in the Feyhoe Flint Trophy with a dominant 105-run victory over Western Storm, led by top-order batters Lauren Winfield-Hill, Bess Heath, and South African debutant Chloe Tryon. Leg-spinner Katie Levick claimed four wickets to secure the win for the Diamonds.

In contrast, Central Sparks suffered a tough defeat against The Blaze in their opening game, despite opener Tammy Beaumont's impressive score of 60. The Blaze off-spinner Lucy Higham played a key role in their victory, achieving a career-best of five for 19 with the ball and contributing 24 runs with the bat. Despite three wickets each for Emily Arlott, Grace Potts, and spinner Georgia Davis, no one could produce the necessary performance with the bat for the Sparks, who finished well off the pace at 153 all out.

Weather Report

While chasing is getting increasingly popular in this format of the game, it surely isn't as rewarding as it is popular. The surface tends to slow down towards the end of the match, especially in day games. We expect both captains to consider that and the fact that it is going to be a sunny, albeit cold day. Captain winning the toss is likely to bat first.

Pitch Report

County Ground at Worcester isn't really known for its true surface and that is apparent by the scores we have seen scored here. Most often in domestic matches, we have seen scores hovering in the range of about 210-230. We expect there to be ample assistance for the bowlers with weather conditions helping as well. Considering all that and how the two sides did in their respective opening matches, anything over 240 should be a good total batting first.

Team News

There are no injury related news from any of the camps. Expect both sides to go in with an unchanged side each.
