Match Preview

Sharks Women vs Leicestershire

8 Aug 2025

After a brilliant start to the Rathbones Arundel Festival of Cricket, an immensely successful few days continues with another One Day Cup clash. This time, it's Alexia Walker's side that will be gracing the divine turf of Arundel as Leicestershire Foxes journey down to West Sussex with both side's in need of victory.

Sussex Sharks currently have just the lone victory thus far to their name in the competition after the opening five matches, but so, too, do tomorrow's visitors. Identical records come face-to-face with both side's in need of a win to boost their chances of qualifying for the final four places.

Team News

Walker has announced a 13-player squad for the fixture at Arundel, with Jazz Westley and Eve O'Neill both missing out through injury.

Squad: Adams (wk), Buckle, Collis, Curling, Gentry, Green (c), Harman, King, Lee, Lewis, Mullan, Stanley, Wilkinson

The Opposition 

Whilst the Vitality Blast competition saw the Sharks enjoy more success overall, the same can be said for Leicestershire who finished an impressive second in the North Group. They would come unstuck in the semi-final to the eventual champions, Middlesex, but can be proud of an excellent tournament.

Interestingly, though, the Sharks actually finished on a higher points tally than Leicestershire (by a single point), and so possess rather similar records not just in this competition, but in the whole season.
