LSW vs BIPW Match Preview
Building a balanced Dream11 team means selecting batters capable of tearing apart bowling attacks and bowlers adept at taking crucial wickets. All-rounders will be essential, offering contributions in various facets.
To date, Emily Arlott has produced her second-best year in Women's T20 cricket. The Phoenix Women bowler has produced 16 wickets in 2024 with best bowling figures of four for 21.
Amy Jones is a world-class Women's T20 cricketer. Her Women's T20 career in pure batting numbers is impressive. She will also be an athletic wicketkeeper behind the stumps.
The Birmingham Phoenix Women have a record-breaker in their ranks. In early 2020 Sophie Devine became the first player, male or female, to score five consecutive T20I scores over 50.
Middle-order batter Heather Knight will bring a wealth of international Women's T20 experience to the fore. With 2067 Women's T20I runs under her batting stats, she can claim to be one of the world's best.
Meg Lanning will be a more than capable senior player in the London Spirit Women side for Heather Knight to depend on. Lanning captained the Delhi Capitals Women to the Final of this year's Women's Premier League.

Team News
Charlie Dean struggled against the Southern Brave Women after going wicketless and conceding, on average, two runs per ball. The left-arm orthodox bowling of Hannah Jones could solve the London Spirit Women's problems. Hannah Baker was one of the more expensive bowlers for Birmingham Phoenix Women in their previous game. Emma Jones could come in for her.
