Match Prediction

This is close to call given how evenly matched these two sides have been across the season. The Blaze finished top of the table, but Hampshire have the head to head edge in recent meetings and Maia Bouchier in the form of her career.

The Blaze have real depth through Sciver-Brunt, Kathryn Bryce and Prendergast, and their consistency across the whole season has been slightly better than Hampshire’s.

Given Bouchier’s outstanding recent form and Hampshire’s semi final performance, they get a narrow edge, though this could easily go either way, and Georgia Adams’s fitness could be a factor either way.
