Sunrisers vs Northern Diamonds Betting Tips
Joanne Gardner has been in pretty good form with the bat for Sunrisers this season. She is the only batter from the side to make over 100 runs for the team this season Bet on Rowe to score over 19.5 runs in the match.
Lauren Winfield-Hill made 30 in the last game, two games after she scored 38 at the top of the order. She is the leading run-scorer for Northern Diamonds this season. Backing her to score over 19.5 runs in the game seems a good move.
Sunrisers vs Northern Diamonds Toss Prediction
This will be the first game at the venue this season but, historically, it has not been a high-scoring venue. While Northern Diamonds failed to defend a total in their last game, the Sunrisers could not chase 135. But with the wicket likely to be on the slower side, expect the team winning the toss to bat first in this clash.
Weather Report
The forecast suggests Northampton should witness partly sunny and pleasant weather on Sunday. There could be some cloud cover but rain should stay away with only around 10% chance of precipitation. Expect the temperature to range between 16-21 degrees with humidity of 51%.

Sunrisers vs Northern Diamonds Top Batters
Joanne Gardner to be the top batter for Sunrisers
Joanne Gardner is one of two batters from the side with a fifty in this year’s competition. She is also the only player to make more than 100 runs for the team. Gardner has made 155 runs at an average of 51.66 and we bet on her to be the leading run-scorer for the side again.
Hollie Armitage to be the top batter for Northern Diamonds
The captain of the Northern Diamonds has had a rough season, scoring only 38 runs in four innings at an average of 9.50. However, she is an experienced player and will look to turn around her form. She has made over 1,200 runs in domestic T20s, playing 65 matches since her debut in 2016.
Sunrisers vs Northern Diamonds Top Bowlers
Mady Villiers to be the top bowler for Sunrisers
Mady Villiers is the joint-highest run-scorer for the Sunrisers, picking up six wickets at an average of 16.66. She has got a wicket in each of the four games she has played so far, including bagging 2-20 in the last match against the Storm. She can be backed to be the leading wicket-taker for the Sunrisers again.
Erin Burns to be the top bowler for Northern Diamonds
Erin Burns has a five-wicket haul in this year’s tournament after picking up 5-25 against the Blaze. She followed it up with 2-22 against the Sparks but was wicketless in the last game she played. She is the in-form bowler, with seven wickets in the 2024 Charlotte Edwards Cup and should be backed to do well.
