Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy (50-over)
Saturday 16th July (10:30am Start)
Incora County Ground, Derby

Southern Vipers continue their Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy campaign against Lightning at the Incora County Ground in Derby on Saturday having won two from two so far in the RHFT.

The Vipers edged past the 300-run mark last week against South East Stars with all-rounder Georgia Elwiss recording a third 50-over century, along with a quickfire 90 from Emily Windsor and 40 from 17-year-old Freya Kemp before Paige Scholfield led the way with the ball taking 3-29.

Lightning saw the benefits of Windsor in their opening match as the Viper went on a brief loan stint. The east midlands team have won one, lost one, beating Thunder by five wickets in the final over last time out, although the Vipers have had the better of the two sides so far this year, winning both Charlotte Edwards Cup matches.

Southern Vipers Squad

The Vipers have named a 13-player squad for their trip to Derby.

Lauren Bell, Charlie Dean and Danni Wyatt are unavailable due to international duty.
