TRT-W vs OVI-W Match Prediction – Who will win today’s The Hundred Women match?

Trent Rockets Women (TRT-W) will be hosting Oval Invincibles Women (OVI-W) in the 9th match of The Hundred Women 2022 tournament at Trent Bridge in Nottingham on Wednesday. Trent Rockets lost against Birmingham Phoenix by eight wickets in the last match after their opening match win against Manchester Originals. They scored only 116 runs while batting first with Elyse Villani scoring the highest 33 runs off 25 balls and returning skipper Natalie Sciver scoring 31 runs. But bowlers struggled to defend the total as the Phoenix managed to reach the target with eight wickets and nine balls remaining.

Oval Invincibles also suffered a defeat in their last match against Southern Brave after registering a big win against Northern Superchargers in the opening clash. Sophia Smale took two wickets while conceding just 12 runs in 20 balls to restrict the Brave to 153 runs while bowling first. But batters struggled to score big with opener Lauren Winfield scoring the highest 25 runs as they fell 12 runs short of the target. Both teams are facing each other for the first time as their last season’s encounter was abandoned due to rain.

TRT-W vs OVI-W Probable Top Performers

The probable best batter of the match

Natalie Sciver:

The English ace ranks first in ICC T20 all-rounder charts and third in batter’s chart. She was rested for the opening match after featuring in England’s all five 2022 Commonwealth Games this month. She scored 31 runs off 31 balls and took a wicket while conceding just 24 runs but failed to guide her team to a win. Sciver is in great form lately with 104 runs and three wickets in the CWG tournament and 84 runs in three matches against South Africa in the last T20I series.

The probable best bowler of the match

Alana King:

The in-form Australian leg-spinner took four wickets, including a stunning hat-trick, against Manchester Originals in the opening match while conceding just 15 runs. She also contributed with the bat by smashing unbeaten 19 runs off just 9 balls. She was economical against the Phoenix with one wicket for 18 runs in 20 balls but it was not enough for the Rockets to win.
