Match 4 of the Super 20 Trophy 2025, sees Typhoons Women and Scorchers Women face off once again, this time at Sandymount on June 29 at 3:15 PM IST. Both teams are eager to make their mark early in the tournament, but the Scorchers enter with a psychological edge, having convincingly beaten the Typhoons by 8 wickets in their last encounter just a week ago.
The Typhoons will rely heavily on their experienced campaigners. Laura Delany, who top-scored with 30 in the last match, and Annabel Squires, who contributed a steady 25, are crucial to setting a competitive total. The bowling unit, spearheaded by Delany herself and supported by Zara Craig, must find ways to contain the Scorchers’ aggressive top order.
For the Scorchers, Ava Canning and Sophie MacMahon have been effective with the ball, each claiming two wickets in the last meeting. Their ability to strike early could again put the Typhoons on the back foot. The Scorchers’ batting, anchored by Gaby Lewis and Louise Little, has shown the firepower to chase down targets with ease, making them the team to beat in this fixture.
