N Hancock and Holly Ferling will spearhead the pace attack along with A Sutherland. Erin Osborne and Alana King will be the key spinners.

Chloe Rafferty has been part of squad for many matches but has not got a chance in the playing XI and can be finally given some game time in their last match replacing Nicole Faltum or any other player.
