Cumbria Women vs Staffordshire Women Chance Winning

This is the opening game of the Women’s T20 County Cup for Cumbria and Staffordshire and it goes without saying that they will be looking to start their campaign with a win.

Cumbria are coming into this T20 competition with two wins in the Women’s Vitality Blast League Three 2025 in the last couple of weeks. The major advantage with Cumbria is that they have played T20 cricket recently, which a few of the participating have not been able to so far.

Both their matches were low-scoring affairs as they chased down 103 comfortably and then defended the total of 138 runs. However, both their wins were comfortable and they look like a solid unit in the tournament.

Meanwhile, Staffordshire haven’t played T20 cricket since August 2024 but they are in solid form, having won their last two One Day Cup matches in April. Their batting and bowling both clicked in those two matches and the only disadvantage for Staffordshire seem to be the lack of T20 cricket played in recent times.

Looking at the recent form of the teams, Cumbria are the favourites to win the match against Staffordshire only due to their familiarity with the format. Having said that, this will be a close match between the two teams

• Cumbria Women chance of winning: 55%
• Staffordshire Women chance of winning: 45%
