Road to the Final
Welsh Fire Women
Led by Tammy Beaumont, the Fire Women have been a dominant force in the league stages, finishing at the top of the table with five wins out of eight matches. Their consistent performances in both batting and bowling have made them one of the toughest teams to beat in the competition. Beaumont’s leadership, combined with key contributions from players like Hayley Matthews and Sarah Bryce, has been instrumental in their success.
London Spirit Women
Heather Knight‘s Spirit Women took a more challenging route to the final but showed their mettle when it mattered the most. After a solid league stage, they faced the two-time champions Oval Invincibles in the Eliminator. In a commanding performance, Spirit dismantled the Invincibles, booking their place in the summit clash. Knight’s experience and tactical acumen have been crucial, along with standout performances from players like Deepti Sharma and Dani Gibson, who have been consistent throughout the tournament.

Lord’s Pitch Report:
The pitch at Lord’s Cricket Ground usually provides an outstanding batting surface, making it a rewarding venue for batters. The fast outfield adds to their advantage. However, fast bowlers can also capitalize on the conditions, as the new ball is likely to offer early swing and good bounce.
