Gloucestershire vs Glamorgan (women) (match 22-L2 – stand-alone fixture) at Seat Unique Stadium, Bristol on Sunday 29 June 2025 (14h30)
A clash of yellow team colours saw the hosts wearing yellow-over-black, with Glamorgan arriving ‘beefed-up’ by Wales International Charlotte Scarborough. Undoubtedly Glamorgan looked the stronger team as Poppy Tulloch (pictured) took another 3-fer (3/22.) Prarthana Reddy made top-score [39 runs(from 51 balls) for Gloucester women, with two other batters scoring into double-figures. When Glamorgan women replied, their 15-20 runs advantage extended beyond their power-play (50/2 vs 34/2 after 6 overs.) Debutante Charlotte Scarborough became one of three Glamorgan women batters who scored into their twenties, as the hosts score was chased down successfully to win by a relatively wide margin-of-safety.
