MNR-W vs BPH-W: Team Previews
Manchester Originals Women
The Manchester Originals have faced a rain washout in both their opening matches without a single ball being bowled. They are among the two teams in the tournament who are yet to play a match this season. Heading into this game, their main concern must be ensuring it doesn't get washed out and they finally get a chance to compete.
With Sophie Ecclestone at the helm, the team's strength lies in players like Laura Wolvaardt, Emma Lamb, and Deandra Dottin, who bring the much-needed impetus. Having finished last season in the sixth position on the points table, they are aiming for a more promising season this year.
Birmingham Phoenix Women
On the other hand, Birmingham Phoenix started their campaign with a loss to Northern Superchargers, conceding the match by seven wickets. Their batting performance was subpar, as they could only muster 110 runs in the allotted 100 balls, a total that Northern Superchargers easily chased down in just 78 balls.
Meanwhile, their second match against Trent Rockets was abandoned due to rain without any play. With a current position at the bottom of the points table, they must be eager to secure their first win in the tournament by clinching a victory in this match.

As it has been raining here for two straight days, bowlers, especially pacers, will definitely enjoy bowling on this surface. The average first innings total at this venue hovers around 140 runs, and teams batting second have good chances of winning the matches.
