Northern Diamonds vs Sunrisers Prediction & Betting Tips 2023

Northern Diamonds and Sunrisers have had a contrasting season so far in the Charlotte Edwards Cup 2023. Now they take on each other at Headingley on Sunday. Northern Diamonds are placed second on the points table with 12 points from three games. They're undefeated in the tournament with the net run-rate reading 0.617. Most recently they defeated South East Stars by two wickets. Diamonds opted to bowl first. They did well to get three wickets inside the powerplay but did not have any answers to Alice Capsey. Capsey blasted 71 off 48 to power her side to 138. For Northern Diamonds, Grace Hall was the pick of the bowlers with 3 for 20 in four overs. Lizzie Scott was also economical, picking 1 for 11 in three overs. Chasing the target, Diamonds lost both the openers inside the first three overs. Hollie Armitage and Sterre Kalis gave some stability with a 49-run stand for the third wicket. They kept losing wickets at regular intervals but Armitage stood tall at one end. Armitage scored a magnificent 82 off 59 to chase down the target almost single-handedly.

Sunrisers have played three games in the season and lost all three. They're at the bottom of the table, being the only team to open the points account yet. They are coming off a seven-wicket defeat at the hands of Thunder on Saturday. Sunrisers won the toss and chose to bat first but had a horror start as they lost Dane van Niekerk on the second ball of the match. They could not get any momentum into their innings. Cordelia Griffith top-scored for the team with 36 off 35 but could not go on to score a big one. Florence Miller made 20 off 18 as they managed only 116 runs in 20 overs. Defending the target, the Sunrisers bowlers couldn't get through the Thunder opening pair early enough. Eva Gray snared 1 for 19 off four overs but it wasn't enough as Thunder chased down the total with 21 balls to spare. Northern Diamonds are on a three-match winning streak while Sunrisers have lost three on the trot. We expect both streaks to continue but anything can happen and Sunrisers could well produce an inspired performance to topple the favourites.

Northern Diamonds vs Sunrisers Match Toss Prediction

Northern Diamonds opted to field first in their previous game. In the first game of the season played at this venue, Western Storm had chosen to field first as well. Headingley is usually a very good venue for batting and chasing could be a better option. Expect the team winning the toss to bowl first.

Weather Report

The weather forecast for this match doesn't look great as there's a good possibility of showers in some parts of Leeds on Sunday afternoon and evening. There's around a 40% chance of precipitation predicted with the temperature ranging between 12-16 degree Celsius.
