Last year, there was the 2020 Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy which was actually the inaugural edition of this new England Women’s ODD tournament and it was a grand success. Named after former England captain Baroness Heyhoe Flint, we’re back with the second edition with 8 teams including Lightning, Northern Diamonds, North West Thunder, Western Storm, South East Stars, Southern Vipers, Sunrisers, Central Sparks are in action.
Last season, it was the Southern Vipers that emerged victories and in the 2021 Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, we have 30 games on the schedule between 29 May and 25 September 2021. In Match 1 of the 2021 RHF Trophy, it’s Northern Diamonds taking on the Central Sparks at the Emerald Headingley in Leeds.

Stats that matter
- Head to head in the RHF Trophy, these teams are tied 1-1.
- Sterre Kalis top score in WT20 internationals – 126*.
- Helen Fenby – only 1 wicket in last 5 games for Diamonds.
- Evelyn Jones last 4 ODD scores – 115*, 77, 10, 90.
Northern Diamonds
The side is being led by Hollie Armitage who is a must have in your NOD vs CES fantasy team because of her all-round abilities. With a top score of 54*and 6 wickets in her last 6 ODD games for Diamonds, she’s sure to contribute in this game and tournament too. With the experience of 17 WT20Is under her belt for Netherlands, Sterre Kalis is someone you can’t leave out either; she bowls at times too and that’s a bonus.
Talking about international experience, there’s bowling all-rounder Katherine Brunt who had 8 wickets in her last 5 internationals for England Women, not going wicketless even once and she may even manage to get runs with the bat if given the chance. Seeing her recent stats, not many will be picking the 22-year leggie Helen Fenby because of few wickets to her name but remember, she got a 4-fer in her first game last season.
Central Sparks
Leading the side is Evelyn Jones and she has been in great form in the domestic circuit with a great last season, so should definitely be in our My11Circle (Get Rs.500 FREE*) NOD vs CES fantasy team today. If you haven’t filled your wicket-keeper slot as yet, we’d recommend someone who had scores of 48 and 50 in her last 3 games last season and that’s Gwenan Davies who opens the batting with captain Jones!

With 8 wickets in her last four games and not going wicketless in even a single game, we have Anisha Patel who should be a part of your bowling unit. She doesn’t have too much experience which means she won’t be a very popular selection today. Another person who we feel will be contributing with ball but also with bat is Emily Arlott and she can be your x-factor choice for this Diamonds vs Sparks game today.
