LIG vs SES Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing 11 Updates for Today's Charlotte Edwards Cup (English Women's Regional T20) Match - Jun 26, 2021
The Charlotte Edwards Cup is all set to kick-off on Saturday, with the new English Women's Regional T20 competition being named to honor England Women's most-capped player across all formats. Edwards is a true English legend, who has led her country to a Women's World Cup, a Women's T20 World Cup and three Ashes wins.
In the season opener of the English Women's Regional T20, we have Lightning taking on the South East Stars at Trent Bridge in Nottingham.
The Lightning will head into the English Women's Regional T20 fixture on the back of a 81-run loss to the Thunder in a warm-up game. They will be missing the services of their marquee player Tammy Beaumont, who has been named in England Women's squad for the ODI series against India Women, starting on 27th June. In the absence of Beaumont, the Lightning seem to be light on experience. But they will be hoping to spring a surprise or two in the English Women's Regional T20.
The South East Stars, on the other hand, will be without Sophia Dunkley, Tash Farrant and Freya Davies, all of whom are also part of England's 17-player ODI squad. They fell to a nine-wicket defeat in their warm-up game against the Southern Vipers. Nevertheless, South East Stars have a balanced squad with a perfect mix of experienced campaigners and talented youngsters who can upset any given opposition on their day.
With both sides eyeing a dream start to their English Women's Regional T20 campaign, we should be in for a cracking opening fixture on Saturday.
