In an exciting match at Lincoln, The Blaze achieved a decisive win over Warwickshire. This victory propelled them to the pinnacle of the Women’s One-Day Cup table. The Blaze, batting first in a match reduced to 39 overs, set a challenging target of 218-6. Their scoring was bolstered by a strong opening partnership between Marie Kelly, responsible for 66 runs, and Georgie Boyce, who added 46 runs. However, Warwickshire’s response was weak, with their top order crumbling at 28-5. Although there was a tenacious 112-run partnership in the sixth wicket between Abbey Freeborn (56) and wicketkeeper Nat Wraith (75), Warwickshire’s comeback was cut short. Thanks to Georgia Elwiss’s remarkable bowling (3-26), the lower order was cleanly dealt with. This led to Warwickshire’s dismissal at 171, confirming a 47-run victory for The Blaze.
