The spinners can also offer something as the pitch has witnessed leg spinners turning the game. The team winning the toss should opt to bat first on this wicket as the bowlers can exploit turn on offer in the second innings.

Probable Best Batter of the Match
Amy Jones – Birmingham Phoenix
Amy Jones will be one player to watch out for in the match between Manchester Originals and Birmingham Phoenix.

The 30-year-old will be eager to demonstrate her batting skills in the upcoming match.
