Ahead of the Blast, Gloucestershire announced the signing of Izzy Storrar on a season-long loan from Berkshire. The talented all-rounder has been a key figure throughout Berkshire’s pathway system and has already achieved success at senior level despite being only 19 years old.

In their group stage match, a dazzling 75 from Amelie Munday led to Gloucestershire’s 15-run Vitality Blast win over Kent at Canterbury.

Munday’s 75, her first List A 50, came from 40 balls, including three sixes, as Gloucestershire made 191 for 6 from their innings. A measured 27 from Izzy Patel and a quick 33 from Georgina Start provided great support as the visitors amassed an impressive total.

Kent’s reply featured 66 from Coco Streets and good contributions from Kelly Castle and Amy Gordon, but Gloucestershire’s clever field placements and tight bowling kept Kent’s run-rate in check as they could only manage 176 for 6 from their innings.

Team news

Kent Women Head Coach James Hockley has named an unchanged squad of 13 who defeated both Northamptonshire Steelbacks and Derbyshire Falcons for Finals Day.

Unlike Kent Men, Kent Women is not a professional side, so player availability extends beyond selection based on fitness, form and application. External factors such as education, work and other commitments play a role in shaping Kent Women’s matchday selections.

Pathway’keeper-batsman Reese Nash remains in the squad, while Hannah Hardwick and Rachel King have not been released by their home countries for this match.

Izzy Cloke and Tilly Callaghan remain out with long-term injuries.
