Northamptonshire Women vs Leicestershire Women Betting Tips

Leicestershire Women to score low before first dismissal

Rebecca Brooker is an established opener and her stint in the 2019 Royal London Women's One-Day Cup was a success, having been their top scorer. However, her current partner, Francesca Sweet, made her domestic debut in the previous game against Cheshire Women and was dismissed for a single digit score of eight runs. Considering the fact that the latter is still a rookie, their opening wicket is on the backfoot against Northamptonshire Women’s powerful bowling attack.

Northamptonshire Women vs Leicestershire Women Toss Prediction

A total of eight T20I matches have been held at County Ground, Northampton, and the teams batting first have a clean sweep record of eight victories. The average first innings score of

140 is a tad low but has been defended at this venue on every occasion. In the last match held here in the season between Northamptonshire Women and Leicestershire Women, the former chose to bat first but ended up losing. Despite this result, batting first will be the top choice for the next match.

Weather Report

There is a 10% prediction for the rain on match day at Northampton with a major cloud cover, and the temperature is set to go up to 21 degrees Celsius.

Northamptonshire Women vs Leicestershire Women Betting Odds

Northamptonshire Women to have a better opening partnership than Leicestershire Women

Rebecca Brooker kept Leicestershire Women’s opening wicket afloat in the last game against Cheshire Women where her partnership with Francesca Sweet ended after 16 runs were scored. The former is a reliable opener but with Sweet having made her debut in the last match, the team’s first wicket is currently on tenterhooks. However, Gemma Marriott and Abby Butcher started strong with a 45-run stand but their partnership did not quite succeed in the previous game where they added five runs to the first wicket. Since the latter are more dependable in this regard, a better partnership is expected of them in the upcoming game.

She was the top run scorer for Lincolnshire Women in the 2019 Royal London Women's One-Day Cup with 141 runs in six innings and an average of 28.20, making her the top choice for the upcoming fixture, too.

Northamptonshire Women vs Leicestershire Women Best Bowlers

Ilenia Sims to be Northamptonshire Women’s Best Bowler

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Northamptonshire Women

Both teams come into this fixture with brilliant results since Northamptonshire won twice and Leicestershire claimed one victory. The former, though, are incredibly dominant as their performance with the bat was off the charts both times and their bowling is formidable. Although Leicestershire Women have the potential to put up a fight, the Gemma Marriott-led team are superior in all aspects of the game.
