Southern Vipers vs Sunrisers Betting Odds
Sunrisers to score under 35.5 runs in overs 1-6 @ 1.85
Sunrisers' batting unit has struggled throughout the tournament. They haven't had good starts and only two of their batters have scored at over 120. The opening pair of Maddy Villiers and Dane van Niekerk have scored just 118 runs in total. Bet on Sunrisers to score under 35.5 runs in the first six overs.
Southern Vipers to score over 51.5 runs in overs 1-8 @ 1.83
Southern Vipers' batting unit hasn't been at its best either. But they will be facing a weak bowling attack of Sunrisers. They would be boosted if Danni Wyatt plays but if not, they will rely on Georgia Adams. You can take a calculative risk on Southern Vipers scoring over 51.5 runs in the first eight overs.

Cordelia Griffith to be Sunrisers’s best batter
Cordelia Griffith has been the only Sunrisers batter to have touched the 100-run mark in this tournament. She has scored 140 runs at an average of 28 with highest score of 53. Looking at the form of others, Griffith is a good bet to be the top batter for Sunrisers.
