Haslegrave Ground

In the ECB Women's One-Day Cup, The Blaze Women and Somerset Women are going head-to-head for the first time on May 20, 2025, at Haslegrave Ground, Loughborough. The action will kick off at 3:30 P.M IST.

The Blaze Women vs Somerset Women Chances of Winning

The Blaze Women narrowly avoided a second defeat on the trot as they kept themselves from being outmuscled by Surrey Women last time around. Despite having posted a formidable total of 346, their defense was off the mark. Georgia Elwiss and Amy Jones went hammer and tongs to score 82 and 80 runs, respectively, while Kathryn Bryce scored a half-century with 56 runs. The bowlers could not stop Surrey Women from reaching the target but they managed to edge out a tie in the end.

Somerset Women had the opportunity to bag a fifth win against Hampshire Women and the bowlers provided this chance by limiting the latter to 213. However, Somerset Women’s batters were the ones who landed the team in a soup by crumbling under pressure. Skipper Sophie Luff was the only one who showed up for the team with a 74-run half-century while the other end collapsed with minimal contribution. Their entire lineup was bundled out for 182 and they conceded defeat by 31 runs via the DLS method.

The Blaze Women vs Somerset Women Betting Tips

The Blaze Women to score high before first dismissal

Tammy Beaumont and Amy Jones have had their ups and downs this season and their scores of 22 and 24 in the previous two games are not entirely convincing. However, in the match prior to that against Essex Women, they added 92 runs to the first wicket. They have the prime opportunity to exploit Somerset Women’s bowlers’ weakness, especially as Beaumont and Jones have averages of 62.20 and 35.14, respectively, in the tournament.

The Blaze Women vs Somerset Women Toss Prediction

The Blaze Women vs Somerset Women Betting Odds

The Blaze Women to have a better opening partnership than Somerset Women

Heather Knight and Emma Corney have both been struggling for form and their performance has been fluctuating quite a lot. The openers set up totals of 24, 19 and 74 runs in the last three matches and Corney, particularly, is the vulnerability since she was the first to be out on all three occasions. The Blaze Women have had a similar trajectory with Amy Jones and Tammy Beaumont since the pair added 22, 24 and 92 runs to the first wicket in the previous three encounters. However, The Blaze Women’s openers have a better chance of coming back stronger in the next game.
