Match Preview: Western Storm v Southern Vipers, Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy

Southern Vipers will be looking to bounce back from a difficult defeat suffered at the hands of Central Sparks when they face Western Storm at Taunton on Saturday.

Georgia Adams' side secured back-to-back victories to begin this year's Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, impressing with both bat and ball before suffering their first loss last week. They'll be hoping to get back to winning ways on the road this weekend.

Team News:

The Vipers have named a 13-player squad for Saturday's fixture. 

Lauren Bell is the lone addition to the squad this week after recovering from a groin injury that kept her out of last week's defeat. She replaces Georgia Elwiss who is unavailable due to her commitments with England.

Opener Danni Wyatt has been in outstanding form to begin this summer, striking three half-centuries in as many matches to start the competition, and she'll be crucial to the side's chances of securing a third success.

After picking up 4-21 in an impressive performance against South-East Stars, Charlotte Taylor impressed once again against Central Sparks. The off-spinner claimed an excellent 3-22 from her 10 over allocation and will again be an integral part of a bowling attack that has enjoyed a positive start to the summer.
