Preview:
In the opening game of Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy 2021, Northern Diamonds will lock horns with Central Sparks. The Diamonds are one of the most formidable teams in this competition and will start the tournament as favourites.
They played great cricket in the last edition and reached the finals, but unfortunately, faltered right when it mattered the most. On the other hand, Central Sparks were inconsistent in the last edition and they will be aiming for a complete makeover.
