Haslegrave Ground

The Blaze Women are poised to engage with Essex Women for the first time in the ECB Women's One-Day Cup, meeting on May 7, 2025. The game will be played at Haslegrave Ground, Loughborough, at 3:30 P.M IST.

The Blaze Women vs Essex Women Chances of Winning

The Blaze Women’s success against Hampshire Women in the last match makes them one of the most formidable teams in the tournament, especially considering they are new to the ECB Women's One-Day Cup. The bowlers took the weight off the batters’ shoulders by restricting Hampshire Women to 189/7. The Blaze Women’s Tammy Beaumont kicked off the innings with a resounding unbeaten 112. Georgia Elwiss helped finish the innings with a half-century of her own, having been not out on 58. The Blaze Women ended up taking an impressive seven-wicket victory.

Essex Women finally put an end to their losing streak as they overcame Lancashire Women in the last encounter. Even though the latter piled on a competent total of 230, Essex Women came into their own and their top and middle order were instrumental in the team’s success. Jodi Grewcock put on a season-best performance of 73* while Alice Macleod and Joanne Gardner were next in line with knocks of 45 and 41, respectively. They reached the target with five wickets to spare.

The Blaze Women vs Essex Women Betting Tips

Essex Women to score high before first dismissal

Essex Women’s first partnerships have improved over the course of the season. Joanne Gardner was the weak link in the opening wicket and she was replaced by Alice Macleod in the previous match. Although Grace Scrivens and Joanne Gardner had one unsuccessful outing, they have been overwhelmingly great with opening totals of 77, 1, 43 and 32 runs in the last four games. Macleod’s arrival has made a huge difference to the team’s first wicket and the pair are expected to set up a solid total against The Blaze Women.

The Blaze Women vs Essex Women Toss Prediction

The teams fielding first have a rather decisive advantage at Haslegrave Ground and in the three One Day Internationals held at the venue, those chasing have the upper hand with three wins while those batting first have none. The average first innings score of 115 is absolutely not defendable, making chasing the top choice for the upcoming game.

Weather Report

Overcast conditions are expected at Loughborough with a 20% likelihood of rain, and the temperature is set to hover around 14 degrees Celsius.

The Blaze Women vs Essex Women Betting Odds

Essex Women to have a better opening partnership than The Blaze Women

Both of The Blaze Women’s openers have been out of form in the tournament so far and Tammy Beaumont managed to find her feet in the previous game. With Amy Jones still out of sorts, though, their opening partnership has fluctuated with scores of 22, 5 and 55 runs in the last three games. On the other hand, Essex Women’s first wicket has been their greatest asset in the competition thus far as Grace Scrivens and Alice Macleod have added 77, 1 and 43 runs to the first wicket. Despite the latter’s dip in performance in between, they are expected to build on their present form and put on a big score in the next game.

The Blaze Women vs Essex Women Best Batters

Tammy Beaumont to be The Blaze Women’s Best Batter

Tammy Beaumont had a rough start to the tournament but she showed a return to form in a stunning 112*-run knock in the last encounter against Hampshire Women. She has now bolstered herself to the top with 176 runs in four innings. Her average of 58.66 is quite impressive and she is expected to continue to lead the way.

Grace Scrivens to be Essex Women’s Best Batter

Grace Scrivens’ performance in the previous game against Lancashire Women was substandard considering she scored 32 runs before her dismissal. Nevertheless, she is the top run scorer for Essex Women, having amassed 131 runs in four innings with an average of 32.75. The skipper is the leading contender against The Blaze Women, too.

The Blaze Women vs Essex Women Best Bowlers

Kathryn Bryce to be The Blaze Women’s Best Bowler

Even though Kathryn Bryce went wicketless in her complete ten-over spell against Hampshire Women last time out, she remains The Blaze Women’s leading wicket-taker overall with eight wickets in four innings. She has a brilliant average of 16.12 which is the best of the team, making her the favorite for the next game as well.

Abtaha Maqsood to be Essex Women’s Best Bowler

Abtaha Maqsood took part in her second match of the season against Lancashire Women where she picked an impressive three-wicket haul in ten overs along with an economy rate of 4.20. She is already the second leading bowler for the team with five wickets, and her average of 19.60 is the best among Essex Women’s bowlers which makes her a dependable option for the upcoming fixture.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

The Blaze Women

The Blaze Women and Essex Women are on two ends of the spectrum since the former are the most successful team in the tournament so far as the table toppers with three wins and a loss. Essex Women, on the other hand, are the tailenders with three back-to-back defeats and they took their first win in the previous game against Lancashire Women. Despite that, The Blaze Women are daunting in every aspect of the game which makes them the frontrunners for victory.
