Oval Invincibles Women bounced back from their recent defeat to seal a 22-run win against Birmingham Phoenix Women at Edgbaston. Invincibles batted first, posting a total of 174/5 in 100 balls, with Alice Capsey top scoring with a rapid 52 off 29, along with good support from Meg Lanning (36 off 19). While Phoenix started their innings in a steady fashion, the pressure from Amanda-Jade Wellington (2-27) and Marizanne Kapp (1-22) reaped sufficient breakthroughs to lower that momentum. Although Ellyse Perry's 29 off 16 and Ailsa Wister's unbeaten 33 off 18 gave hopes to Phoenix's run chase, they ended the innings on 152/6. This win for Invincibles places them into fourth position on the table, giving them a glimmer of hope that qualification remains alive.

Top Picks – Birmingham Phoenix

• Liam Livingstone – The 30 year old hit two fours and one six in his innings at Old Trafford on Monday. The all-rounder will look to hit the ball over the stands at this venue.
• Benny Howell – The right-arm medium pacer should get some assistance from the overhead conditions on Thursday and dismissed Laurie Evans, Max Holden and Paul Walter in the last game.

Top Picks – Oval Invincibles

• Heinrich Klaasen- the South African has hit six sixes in each of the last two games. He is a consistent run scorer at a very high strike-rate.
• Gus Atkinson- many pundits are expecting the quick bowler to be selected for England later this year. He dismissed opener Matthew Short in the last game.
