There is a huge amount of batting talent in the squad of Oval Invincibles Women and we expect the England Women’s international pair of Alice Capsey and Lauren Winfield Hill to be key at the top of the order. In the middle order, Marizanne Kapp is a very experienced and strong player.

With the ball, Tash Farrant has an excellent record in the Women’s Hundred and we can expect her to bowl her full allocation in this game. She will utilise the pace and bounce on offer for Oval Invincibles Women whereas Amanada Jade-Wellington will be a strong spin option.
