Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Trent Rockets Women

Birmingham Phoenix Women was reminded of their abysmal second half of the tournament after they faced a defeat in their opening game of the ongoing season. They met with Northern Superchargers in the opening game and scored only 110 runs in the game. Devine scored 46 runs in the game while the rest of the line-up bundled out cheaply in the game. The total was not enough to hold off the Superchargers who won the game with 7 wickets to spare. With a loss, they are currently placed 8th in the table standings with a net run rate of -1.679.

On the other hand, Trent Rockets Women finished in the top 4 of the previous season, the Women’s Hundred. They took an exit after the Eliminator. They faced Southern Brave again in their season opener and conceded 157 runs while bowling first. The bowlers were extremely expensive and could not pick wickets in the beginning of the contest. Chasing the target, the Rockets could only post 130 runs and lost the game by 27 runs. Nat Sciver-Brunt was the only impactful batter from the team with a score of 49 runs in the match. TRT-W are placed seventh in the standings with no points and a net run rate of -1.350.

The sides have collided twice in two seasons so far where BP-W managed to win those both fixtures. However, by the looks of it, Trent Rockets have a more determined line-up in the batting and the bowling department. Whereas Birmingham Phoenix will still look to recover from their poor batting performance. We predict Trent Rockets Women to win this game.
