In the first match, a 7th wicket partnership of 21 between Sophie Richards and Millie Sweet brought Cornwall back from 47 for 6 and they continued to add and finish with what ended up as a defendable total. Kelley Williams and Lucie Oakley made sure it was defended by taking three wickets apiece (Williams 3 for 27 in 4 overs, Oakley 3 for 12 in 4 overs).
In the second match Emily Geach and Bernadette Forge took 4 for 18 in 8 overs and were part of an attack that had an economy of 3.25. Forge and Rebecca Odgers took care of most of that total with a 35 run 2nd wicket partnership, and then Forge and Geach finished the proceedings with a 15 run unbroken partnership as Cornwall won in less than half of the Innings.

In the first match Cait O'keefe was the pivot around 2 major partnerships (31 for the 2nd wicket with opener Emma Corney and 43 for the 3rd wicket with Georgia Read). The two partnerships accounted for more than half of Devon's runs and more than all of Oxfordshire's. Five Devon bowlers shared the wickets with Sophie Florides leading the attack with 3 for 7 in four overs.
In the second match Corney and Izzy Bunn took the game away from Oxfordshire early with a 1st wicket partnership of 94 in the first 9.5 overs (including 72 in the first 6).

Corney finished with 44 in 30 balls with 7 fours for a 146.67 strike rate. Stephanie Hutchens led the attack with 3 for 6 in 2.4 overs.
