The winners of this clash will face South East Stars in the 4pm final.

The semi is a repeat of last year’s 50-over Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy final at Edgbaston, which the Vipers won.

The Diamonds qualified for Finals Day with a bonus-point win over Thunder at Chester on Monday, opener Dobson hitting 20 from 21 balls to help the Diamonds get off to a strong start..

They chased down 91 for the loss of two wickets swiftly to finish top of Group Two on net run-rate ahead of Western Storm, who had started the final day of group action top of the table.
