Devon Women are back at The Holt looking to get back to winning ways after a "mixed bag" of results against Berkshire in their last outing.

Devon Women sit second on net run rate in Division 1 South of the Vitality Blast! Women's League Three following a win and a defeat in the double-header at Wokingham on 15 June.

Sunday's opponents, Wiltshire, sit top of the table, having achieved bonus point wins in both of their fixtures against Hertfordshire last time out.

David Joseph's Thoughts

"Sunday is going to be a real challenge for us. Wiltshire are a good T20 team and won their first two games, so we will need to be at our best.

"We will need to be fully focused for the full 80 overs and look to win the crucial moments in each game."

Captain's Thoughts

"We haven't played Wiltshire yet this season; however, we know they will come with a strong side and their Academy players.

"If we can execute our skills, do the basics really well and stick to our plans, they should be two very good games of cricket. 

"We are coming into the weekend second in the group behind Wiltshire, and we are aware of the challenges the game may bring."

Eliza Heard's Thoughts

"We play our best when we harness our skill sets and passion as a team. Up the Dev!"

ECB Women's County Championship - Group 3

Devon Women bounced back from a T20 double-header second match defeat by continuing their 100% 50-over record last time out against Wiltshire, as they came out 157-run winners at Royal Wootton Bassett CC.

Batting first, Devon's top three played with really aggressive intent, taking the score to 83 for 1 at the end of the first powerplay. Amelie Munday (47) was out in the 12th over, leaving Ruby Davis (64) to continue taking the attack to Wiltshire, ably assisted by Ellie Bishop. Having lost a couple of middle-order wickets, Gemma Lancaster and captain Steph Hutchins (46) rebuilt the innings and, with a late cameo from Katie Donovan, set Wiltshire 271 to win.

Devon's opening attack of Eliza Heard and Katie Donovan were at their destructive best, reducing Wiltshire to 24 for 6, including an incredible diving catch by Regina Lilii, after 10 overs. A battling recovery led by Poppy Walker (55) got Wiltshire past 100 for 7. The reintroduction of Katie Donovan proved crucial with her removing the last 3 wickets and finishing with excellent figures of 7-10, rounding off an impressive 157-run win.
