Middlesex (women) vs Gloucestershire (women) – match 7 – League Two – at Radlett, Cricket Club (Brunton Memorial Ground) on Sunday, 19 April 2026
Middlesex women secured back-to-back victories, following bowling-out Gloucestershire women for a barely defendable score. Beefed-up by ‘league-one’ all-rounder Chloe Brewer who made top-score [60runs(from 74 balls)]; only four other batters made double-figures. Middx women’s skipper Saskia Horley took a 3-fer: taking three wickets, conceding just 24 runs from her eight overs. Middx women made light-work of their reply as opener Riva Pindoria [70*not out(92)] made top-score; hit the winning ‘single;’ and carried her bat. Partnered by ‘All-rounder’ Issy Routledge – pictured [34*not out (54)] – the pair’s undefeated partnership posted 76 runs from 104 balls inside fifty minutes. Earlier, Issy Routledge also took one wicket (conceding 21 runs.) Separately for Gloucestershire women, Chloe Brewer was also their best bowler, taking 2/28. Without Live Stream commentory. Weather: Gloriously sunny, becoming overcast by mid-to-late afternoon, 15C.
