Derbyshire Falcons Women vs Sussex Sharks Women

Sussex Sharks Women commence their Vitality Blast campaign tomorrow (Friday, 22 May) as they make the trip up to The Central Co-op County Ground to take on Derbyshire Falcons.

It was a positive campaign for Alexia Walker's side last year, winning four and losing four of their eight group games as they narrowly missed out on a place in a semi-final. Derbyshire were not in Sussex's group last year but, after a reshuffle, the two sides will meet - with tomorrow's hosts looking to build on a tricky outing in the competition last time out.

For the Sharks there is reason to be positive: a strong start in this year's Metro Bank One Day Cup will hope to be transferred over to the Blast, with an impressive victory at Northamptonshire by a 76-run margin the side's previous outing.

The Opposition

Two victories were recorded from Derbyshire's eight group games in last season's Blast in a challenging campaign for Head Coach, Jon Dyson. They'll look for an improved season this time around, though it has already been a tough start to their 2026 outing in the One Day Cup, having lost all three of their matches.
