YD vs SV Team Previews

Yorkshire Women

With a much-needed win in their previous encounter, Yorkshire Diamonds continued to hand on in the tournament, albeit by a thin thread. Since they are above Surrey Stars in the points table, a win in both of their remaining two matches should be enough to confirm their spot in the playoffs.

Alyssa Healy, who had primarily underperformed in the competition so far, finally clicked in their last match wherein her terrific knock of 77 came in handy to get past Lancashire Thunder. The Diamonds are coming off a massive win in their previous game, and with the momentum they have, it won't be easy to defeat them even for the Southern Vipers.

Southern Vipers

With a vital win in their previous encounter, the Vipers inched closer to the playoff spot and even though they look well-settled as far as the qualification to the playoffs is concerned, a win here should be enough to ascertain a place in the quarters.

Importantly, their last win of the competition came against the team they are going to face in their upcoming fixture, Yorkshire Diamonds. They won the match by three runs which could prove to be an important win should things get close after this forthcoming match.

Batting first, Vipers could put just 127 runs on the board, which was quite unlike what they've done in the competition so far. Their bowlers, however, wore their heart on the sleeve as they bowled with tremendous accuracy and discipline to keep Diamonds off the door. Vipers eventually won the match by three runs.
