The Rose Bowl Pitch Report:

The surface at The Rose Bowl in Southampton offers balance. It assists both the batters and bowlers. However, pacers enjoy their time at the venue more than the spinners do. Considering that the ball will come on to the bat well, a moderately competitive match is likely to be on the cards. Either skipper winning the toss will look to bat first.

Probable Best Batter of the Match

Smriti Mandhana – Southern Brave

In her previous outing against Welsh Fire, Mandhana slammed 41 off 30 balls which featured six fours and a solitary maximum. Given that she has displayed quite a few impressive knocks in the ongoing campaign, she will look to maintain her purple patch with the bat in the upcoming games and score big.

Probable Best Bowler of the Match

Katie Levick – Birmingham Phoenix

Katie Levick was quite impactful in her last outing with the ball as he got two wickets and maintained a solid economy of 0.95, giving just 19 runs in her 20 balls. She will look to replicate a similar performance and add more wickets in her account against Southern Brave.
