WEF-W vs TRT-W Team Previews
Welsh Fire Women
Welsh Fire's opening match against Manchester Originals went down the drain due to rain, but they turned the tide with a thumping three-game winning streak. Their winning spree hit a snag as Southern Brave pulled off a gutsy two-wicket victory.
With seven points under their belt, they are comfortably chilling in the second position on the Women's Hundred 2023 points table. A victory in this match could propel them to the top, and they must be looking totally up for the challenge.
Trent Rockets Women
On the other hand, the Trent Rockets Women have broken into the victory column. Their recent face-off against London Spirits Women ended with a smashing five-wicket win, marking their first victory of the season.
Earlier, they suffered two defeats at the hands of Southern Brave Women and Northern Superchargers Women. Their one match against Birmingham Phoenix was called off due to rain without a ball being bowled. They will be looking to extend their winning streak in the tournament.

The pitch at Sophia Gardens offers a balanced surface. Fast bowlers have a blast here, thanks to the bounce and movement of the new ball. However, once the batters get their rhythm, they will be smashing shots left and right. The team winning the toss should ideally look to bat first here.
