Match Preview: Northern Diamonds v Southern Vipers, Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy
Southern Vipers continue their Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy campaign against Northern Diamonds at Headingley on Saturday
Southern Vipers v Northern Diamonds Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy (50-over) Saturday 17th September (10:30am Start) Headingley, Leeds
Southern Vipers head up north to face the old rival Northern Diamonds at Headingley in the final match of the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy group stage, after the postponed matches on Friday 9th September have been confirmed to not go ahead.
Ever since the regional hubs were introduced in 2020, it has been Vipers v Diamonds in both finals of the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, with the southern team coming out on top on both occasions.
The two sides have faced eachother three times in Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy matches - two of which have been in finals.
Southern Vipers will be hoping to remain unbeaten in 2022, as both sides go into Saturday's match level on 22 points, with just net run rate separating the two teams.
Whichever side comes out on top will head straight through to the final at Lord's on Sunday 25th, whilst second place will have a home eliminator on Wednesday 21st.
Southern Vipers Squad
The Vipers have named an unchanged 13-player squad from last Sunday's victory against Thunder.
Lauren Bell, Maia Bouchier, Freya Kemp, and Danni Wyatt remain unavailable whilst on international duty for England against India, with Charlie Dean expected to join the ODI squad.
Batter Mary Taylor is included in the Vipers squad for the first time after impressive performances for her county and the Academy.
