Batting threats in PP: Litchfield (SUP), Chathli/Griffith (LNS if opening).
Finishers: Sutherland, Carey (SUP) vs Wong, Knott/Harris (LNS).
Annabel Sutherland (C) – Form + dual role + venue record.
Erin Gray – Form bowler with ceiling; safe VC if bowling 20 balls.
Nicola Carey – Consistent AR; wickets + clutch runs.
Charlie Dean – Venue king; matchup vs SUP middle.
Georgia Ballinger – DO wicket bursts; already nailed LNS once (102 pts).
Izzy Wong – PP strike + boundary bonus late.
Alice Davidson-Richards – Ceiling when batting up and bowling full quota.
Sophie Glenn – Leg-spin value if bowling into big boundary.
WK (1):
Kira Chathli (LNS) – form WK, catching + PP batting.
BAT (3):
Phoebe Litchfield (SUP) – anchor/accelerator up top.
Cordelia Griffith (LNS) – PP exposure; GL upside.
Danielle Gibson (LNS) – can pinch the PP; secondary bat option.
ALL-ROUNDERS (4):
Annabel Sutherland (SUP) – C
Nicola Carey (SUP) – VC
Charlie Dean (LNS)
Izzy Wong (LNS)
BOWL (3):
Kate Cross (SUP)
Erin Gray (LNS)

Team split: SUP 5 / LNS 6
Bench/GL swaps: A Davidson-Richards ↔ Gibson/Griffith; S Glenn ↔ Ballinger/Gray; G Redmayne ↔ Chathli (if LNS change WK role).
If SUP-W bat first:
Elevate Cross/Ballinger (more DO wickets), keep two SUP ARs.
Consider ADR in place of a fragile LNS batter.
If LNS-W bat first:
Lock Gray + Dean + Wong. You can swap Ballinger → Glenn for spin-heavy middle.
Keep Chathli; add Redmayne in GL if dual-WK punt fits.
If chasing under lights (likely): Prioritize pace at the death (Cross/Gray/Wong).
Risk control: LNS batting has volatility—don’t overstack their pure batters in SL.
Captaincy: Safe C/VC = Sutherland/Carey. High-ceiling VC = Erin Gray; GL C punt = Charlie Dean.
