Western Storm v Southern Vipers
Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy
Saturday 15th July (10:30am start)
Millfield School
The Southern Vipers make the trip down to Millfield School in Somerset to face Western Storm in their return fixture of the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy.
The first game between the two sides was washed out in Hove, and the Vipers had the wood on the Storm in their Charlotte Edwards Cup bout, where Lauren Bell’s 3-19 restricted the neon green side to just 108, before Maia Bouchier and Georgia Adams struck 45 and 26* respectively to see their side over the line by seven wickets.
Western Storm have recorded just one victory in seven matches, and will be without fast bowler Lauren Filer on international duty.
Southern Vipers haven’t won a match since 1st May against Central Sparks at Wormsley, having narrowly suffered defeat to the hands of The Blaze on the Isle of Wight, and a thrilling tie against Thunder at Southport.
Southern Vipers Squad
Southern Vipers have named a 14-player squad to travel to Millfield School.
Captain Georgia Adams will look to replicate her form after scoring 94 last time out against The Blaze at Newclose.
Lauren Bell, Charlie Dean and Danni Wyatt remain unavailable on international duty.
