The Cooper Associates County Ground

Somerset Women and Essex Women are slated to go head-to-head in the Vitality Blast Women for the second time in the ongoing season, clashing on July 8, 2025. The teams will be hosted at The Cooper Associates County Ground, Taunton, at 7:00 PM IST.

Somerset Women vs Essex Women Chances of Winning

Somerset Women’s winless streak persists as they lost to Hampshire Women in their previous encounter. The former posted a modest score of 153 runs with Fran Wilson’s 55 as the top total in the innings. The bowlers were rendered ineffective as they only managed to topple two wickets before Hampshire Women’s batters went absolutely hammer and tongs as they finished the chase with ease.

Essex Women had a slightly better outing last time around as they were tied with Surrey Women after the rain put paid to their winning hopes. The latter, having set the target, posted 159 runs on the board and the score was not unattainable as Essex Women set out to chase it down. Opener Lauren Winfield-Hill’s half-century was thwarted since she departed for 49 runs, and she was the top scorer for the team. With 93 runs on the board by the end of ten innings, the match came to an end in a tie.

Somerset Women vs Essex Women Betting Odds

Essex Women to have a better opening partnership than Somerset Women

After a season of woes and grapples with form for Somerset Women’s openers, they have finally shown some improvement as Rebecca Odgers and Niamh Holland gave the team some respite. In the last three matches, they added 25, 37 and 3 runs to the first wicket. Although Essex Women’s first wicket stands have stagnated with totals of 6, 14 and 8 runs in the previous three games, Lauren Winfield-Hill and Alice Macleod have explosive potential and they are favored to achieve a more competitive first partnership than Somerset Women’s opening wicket.

Somerset Women vs Essex Women Best Batters

Niamh Holland to be Somerset Women’s Best Batter

Niamh Holland found herself dismissed for a mere 15 runs in the previous game against Hampshire Women but she has a lot more where that came from, considering she is among the top run scorers with 127 runs in five innings. Averaging at 25.40, she is expected to come good in the next game against Essex Women.

Lauren Winfield-Hill to be Essex Women’s Best Batter

As predicted for the previous encounter, Lauren Winfield-Hill was the top batter for Essex Women and she fell short of a half-century as she was dismissed for 49. She is in a league of her own at the moment with 307 runs in ten innings and an average of 30.70, the best of the team, and she remains the top contender to emerge as their standout batter against Somerset Women as well.

Somerset Women vs Essex Women Best Bowlers

Amanda-Jade Wellington to be Somerset Women’s Best Bowler

In the last game against Hampshire Women, Amanda-Jade Wellington was the joint leading bowler as she captured one wicket in four overs and achieved an economy rate of 5.75. She is also tied as the leading wicket-taker overall, having claimed seven wickets in eight innings. Despite a rather high average of 31.28, she is the top choice to be their premier bowler once again.

Esmae MacGregor to be Essex Women’s Best Bowler

Although Esmae MacGregor went wicketless in the last two games, she has a massive lead over the other bowlers with 18 wickets under her belt in ten innings. Moreover, she has an absolutely stellar average of 14.55, and she is anticipated to come into her own in the upcoming fixture.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Essex Women

Somerset Women’s campaign is hapless at this point and they have been the worst-performing team right from the start of the tournament. They have consistently remained in eighth and last place with eight losses and an abandoned match. Essex Women are only two spots higher in sixth position with three wins, six losses and a tie in the competition so far. Although both sides have a lot of room for improvement, Essex Women beat Somerset Women earlier in the season and will be expected to come out on top once again.
