Somerset Women and Essex Women’s ECB Women's One-Day Cup clash is set to take place on May 1, 2025, and the teams will lock horns at Taunton Vale Sports Club Ground, Taunton. The game is going to begin at 3:30 P.M IST.

Somerset Women vs Essex Women Chances of Winning

Somerset Women suffered their first defeat of the season against Lancashire Women where the former, having batted first, secured an insufficient total of 205 runs. Alex Griffiths’s 46 and opener Emma Corney’s 35 were the top contributions and it was not enough to give the bowlers a competitive score to defend. Lancashire Women’s batters did not have to exert themselves much to finish the game and they ended up beating Somerset Women by a margin of seven wickets.

Essex Women are, arguably, the weakest team in the tournament at the moment and they lost to Warwickshire Women by a hefty margin last time out. With the latter having posted a nearly insurmountable total of 289 runs, Essex Women were starting to crumble under pressure from the beginning of their chase. Cordelia Griffith and skipper Grace Scrivens posted 72 and 53 runs, respectively, on the scoreboard but the others were of no help. Unable to withstand the pressure, Essex Women were bundled out for a mere 181 and suffered a whopping 108-run defeat.

Somerset Women vs Essex Women Betting Tips

Somerset Women to score high before first dismissal

Heather Knight and Emma Corney got a brilliant start to the tournament with a partnership of 122 runs in the first game against Surrey Women. However, with the former having faced an early dismissal in the last outing versus Lancashire Women, the pair ended up with an underwhelming ten-run stand. In spite of that, they have what it takes to come back stronger as Knight and Corney have averages of 35.00 and 48.00, respectively, which gives them the opportunity to put on another spectacle in the upcoming fixture.

Somerset Women vs Essex Women Betting Odds

Somerset Women to have a better opening partnership than Essex Women

Essex Women’s Grace Scrivens and Joanne Gardner’s partnership did not improve much over two games as they secured totals of 43 and 32 runs together in the tournament so far. On the contrary, Somerset Women’s opening pair regressed as Heather Knight and Emma Corney scored just ten runs in the previous game but garnered an impressive 122-run partnership in the first game. Despite their downtrend in performance, Somerset Women’s openers are poised to do well in the next match and outgun Essex Women’s first partnership.

Somerset Women

Somerset Women made a compelling start to their campaign this season but they did not bring their A-game against Lancashire Women, and their defeat placed them sixth in the standings. However, Essex Women are worse off as they occupy seventh place, the penultimate position, with two back-to-back defeats. Since Somerset Women have shown winning potential, they are favored to overcome Essex Women in this clash.
