Glamorgan Women vs Sussex Sharks Women - Preview

Sussex Sharks Women head to Newport tomorrow to face Glamorgan in a key match in the Vitality Blast.

The Sharks are in second place in the Vitality Blast Women League Two South Group, holding a narrow one-point advantage over third-placed Glamorgan, who have a game in hand. With only the top two sides securing a place at Finals Day, Friday’s fixture could prove crucial.

The sides have already faced each other in the competition already, as the Sharks suffered a narrow defeat at Hove by a mere 5 runs. That was the third time they've faced each other this season, and every match has finished increasingly closer. 

The Opposition

Glamorgan were victorious against the group leaders in their most recent outing. They won by 30 runs against Middlesex at Colwyn Bay after posting a score of 171-4, largely thanks to Captain Lauren Parffit's 75* and Daisy Jeanes' 53. With the ball, Poppy Tulloch was the pick of the bowlers, taking 3-18 as Glamorgan secured an impressive victory to make it two wins and one defeat so far in the competition.

Squad

Alexia Walker has picked a 13-player squad for the trip to Glamorgan tomorrow:

Mollie Adams, Anna Buckle, Izzy Collis, Kali-Ann Docherty, Indigo Gentry, Chiara Green, Nancy Harman*, Rachel King, Anna Lewis, Eve O’Neill, Talitha Stanley, Jazz Westley, Phoebe Wilkinson.
