Yorkshire Diamonds

Yorkshire Diamonds have not been able put up a great showing so far in the tournament despite a decent squad. Australian wicket keeper batsman Alyssa Healy is well known for her hitting abilities at the top of the order. Jemimah Rodrigues and Alice Davidson Richards in the middle order are also notable strikers of the ball. Although they haven’t found their rhythm yet, they can prove to be a great threat to opponents.

Surrey Stars

The Stars have a strong middle order with the likes of Sarah Taylor, Natalie Sciver, & Dane van Niekerk. van Niekerk and Sciver can also win the match with the ball as well, and would be excellent choices for fantasy games. Lizele Lee is another another in-form all-rounder to watch out for.

Injury and Availability News:

Although there is no injury concern as of now, the form of most of their players would be a big worry for the Diamonds, a reason why they have been near the bottom of the table. Alyssa Healy is a destructive opener, but hasn’t really fired in the tournament. Yorkshire will be looking at her to spark some magic.
