Lancashire topped Group One, winning four group stage matches and ended their fixtures with a comprehensive win over Nottinghamshire before their second match on Monday was conceded by Cumbria.
Leicestershire topped Group Two, having defeated Cambridgeshire and Shropshire on the final day to finish in a similar position to Gloucestershire by the way that they won all but one group match.
Speaking of the effort so far, Head of Women’s Cricket, Kari Carswell said: “There has been some excellent cricket played by the girls so far and they can be proud of reaching this stage. It is just reward for all their hard work.”
Details of a venue and start time will be announced when the Club knows.
