what a summer Beaumont is having.

but is it enough for England t20 selectors

but is it enough for England t20 selectors

Well im thinking of players like Sophie Dunkley (who is a good player in herself) is in the team, there is no reason why Beaumont can't be in that first XI.

if you compared the batting of Beaumont and Dunkley who are both on the same side last night, Beaumont was seeing the ball very well.

I dont know Englands next fixtures in the white ball but with Beaumont in this rich vein of form, you'd be a brave man to leave her out.

Teams:

London Spirit Women (Playing XI): Grace Harris, Danielle Gibson, Heather Knight(c), Niamh Fiona Holland, Melie Kerr, Richa Ghosh(w), Sarah Glenn, Charlotte Dean, Alice Monaghan, Tara Norris, Lauren Filer

Oval Invincibles Women (Playing XI): Lauren Winfield-Hill(w), Suzie Bates(c), Alice Capsey, Marizanne Kapp, Paige Scholfield, Cordelia Griffith, Mady Villiers, Kira Chathli, Ryana Macdonald Gay, Eva Gray, Sophia Smale

Oval Invincibles Women have won the toss and have opted to field

 

[NYRB]

Kapp doing Kapp things.


Wicket in the first over. She gets Holland 2nd ball.

 

[NYRB]

Kapp with her 2nd


And she has 7/2 off 12 balls.

 

[NYRB]

that is some horrendous running between the wickets from Grace Harris there.

Spirit 16/3 off 18 balls in the Derby

 

[NYRB]

Macdonald-Gay gets Kerr


And now Spirit need a hold rebuild at 31/4 off 27 balls.

 

[NYRB]

Good little recovery from Spirit to et 118/9 off 100 balls against Oval Invincibles.

Filer with some later order dash , with 21 off 13 balls.

 

[NYRB]

Spirit have squeezed the Oval here. Oval need 69 off 40 with 8 in hand.


Bates 23 off 33

 

[NYRB]

dont want this required run rate to get to 2 a ball or more

 

[NYRB]

Kapp goes and Oval need a miracle now

Oval Need 47 off 22 with 5 in hand to beat the Spirit.

 

[NYRB]

This has been a terrible chase attempt by Oval tonight.

 

[NYRB]

If I heard correctly , this is the first time Spirit have beaten Oval in the derby in the womens.

They end up winning by 21 runs.

 

[NYRB]

2nd v 8th tonight between the Brave and Phoenix

Birmingham just havent fired at all this season. Losing Ellyse Perry, this season- they just havent found a like-for-like sort of replacement for her.

Brave are in 2nd spot and a win pretty much keeps them in the running for top spot.

 

[NYRB]

Game 22:

Birmingham Phoenix Women (Playing XI): Sophie Devine, Tess Flintoff, Amy Jones(w), Erin Burns, Evelyn Jones(c), Abigail Freeborn, Sterre Kalis, Emily Arlott, Hannah Baker, Abtaha Maqsood, Katie Levick

Southern Brave Women (Playing XI): Smriti Mandhana, Danielle Wyatt, Maia Bouchier, Georgia Adams, Freya Kemp, Chloe Tryon, Maitlan Brown, Kalea Moore, Rhianna Southby(w), Anya Shrubsole(c), Lauren Bell

Southern Brave Women have won the toss and have opted to bat

 

[NYRB]

These Phoenix are horrendous

 

[NYRB]

Brave posted 132 and Phoenix have a bit of work to do to chase this down.

 

[NYRB]

Phoenix a team that had the game by the neck but when you are bottom sometimes you just dont know how to win .

Brave win but didnt play their best today.

 

[NYRB]

Rockets v Manchester

Loser is eliminated from winning the Hundred in 2023.

 

[NYRB]

Manchester Originals Women (Playing XI): Emma Lamb, Laura Wolvaardt, Ami Campbell, Deandra Dottin, Fi Morris, Sophie Ecclestone(c), Kathryn Bryce, Amanda-Jade Wellington, Eleanor Threlkeld(w), Katie George, Mahika Gaur

Trent Rockets Women (Playing XI): Lizelle Lee(w), Bryony Smith, Nat Sciver-Brunt(c), Harmanpreet Kaur, Fran Wilson, Joanne Gardner, Naomi Dattani, Alana King, Katherine Sciver-Brunt, Alexa Stonehouse, Kirstie Gordon

Manchester Originals Women have won the toss and have opted to bat


Here we go!

 

[NYRB]

Originals finish with a bit of a flurry and 107

Trent Rockets chase to come soon.

 

[NYRB]

Rockets 49/0 in their powerplay against the Originals.

 

[NYRB]

too easy for the Rockets over Originals


Rockets win by 9 wickets in hand and with 36 balls to spare.

Clinical.

 

[NYRB]

Manchester have to make some changes to their squad for next season.


They dont have too many good batters in their team to be honest.
