Tilly Fellows (Bledlow Ridge)

Natasha MacBean (Chesham)

Charlie Mailey (Long Marston)

Ben Ungaretti also shared his thoughts on the T20 encounter: Of course Sunday was disappointing, but we have got a great chance now to bounce back quickly.

Playing against a Tier 2 side at a first-class ground (The 1st Central County Ground) is a big opportunity for us — it is the kind of stage you want to be on.

The focus is definitely on bringing intensity and giving it everything we have got.

Ultimately, we know that we are the underdogs, but that can work in our favour.

We are really excited for the challenge and the chance to test ourselves against a quality team.
