London Spirit Women vs Trent Rockets Women Chances of Winning

London Spirit Women finished at the bottom of the table last season. However, they currently occupy the 6th position in the table standings without having won a single fixture. LS-W’s first two games were abandoned due to bad weather but they finally got to play their first game of the season in their last outing. However, a loss against Southern Brave Women did not earn them any point in the competition.

On the other hand, Trent Rockets Women are having a terrible time in this year’s edition of the competition. They have lost both the games they have played, with one of their games abandoned. With 2 losses, they are placed at the bottom of the table with no points and a net run rate of -0.900. LS-W and TR-W have not won a game since the competition began but it will change in the upcoming fixture. LS-W will play at home conditions. However, they have a very fragile batting order that failed to perform in the first game. However, TR-W has a decent batting order but needs to work on their bowling attack. Based on their performances, we suggest for Trent Rockets to win this affair.

London Spirit Women vs Trent Rockets Women Betting Tips

London Spirit wants to win their first game of the season. They've had two games cancelled and lost one at home. They're playing against Trent Rockets Women and hoping their top players, Grace Harris and Heather Knight, can help them score well.

Trent Rockets had a strong start in their last game but couldn't finish well. Bryony Smith did great, but the middle part of their team struggled after their captain Nat Sciver-Brunt got out. Their bowlers also couldn't consistently stop the other team.

London Spirit Women vs Trent Rockets Women Toss Prediction

Both sides lack a proper finisher in the team as their middle order looks shaky and will refrain from chasing in the game. Considering the hosts failed to defend the total in the last game, batting first and having the runs on the board sounds suitable for both teams.

Weather Report

At Lord's, the pitch generally benefits both batters and bowlers, but rain before the match might create some moisture, favouring the seam bowlers initially. The weather will be partly cloudy with a high of 22 degrees Celsius.

Heather Knight to be London Spirit Women’s Best Batter

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Trent Rockets Women

The teams are evenly matched based on the results of their previous games in the tournament. In their only game, LS-W faced Southern Brave Women in their last outing after a series of abandoned games. However, due to poor weather conditions, the game was shortened to 85 deliveries where LS-W could muster 104 runs in the game. Heather Knight played an innings of 44 runs in the game. It was an easy chase where SB-W conquered the target with 5 wickets to spare. The weak LS-W leaked a lot of runs in the game. Except for Sarah Glenn, who picked 3 wickets, no other bowler proved to be impactful in the game.

Trent Rockets Women also faced a similar fate. They had already suffered a loss in their first game and were ready to get back on in the competition. However, that could not happen as Northern Superchargers Women defeated them in their next fixture by 9 runs. In the game, NS-W came to bat first and scored 134 runs. The bowlers were ineffective and gave away a ton of runs. While chasing a 135-run target in their last match, Trent Rockets women went from 102-3 in 78 balls to 107-7 in 91 balls. Their slow progression restricted their score to 125 runs, hence, giving away the victory to NS-W. Bryony Smith scored 70 runs while others in the team went out cheaply.

The sides have clashed twice before in the format where TR-W were able to win both the games. We predict for TR-W to continue the trend in the upcoming fixture. LS-W do not have a balanced squad and lack majorly in their batting line-up. However, the same of TR-W is fairly strong, having faced a loss by mere margin in their last fixture. If TR-W improve upon their bowling, they are imminent to win this affair.
