The Blaze vs Sunrisers Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
The Blaze have been an excellent outfit in the tournament so far winning all of the matches they played. Tammy Beaumont and Nat Sciver-Brunt have piled up most of the runs for the team so far averaging 48.66 and 68 respectively. Georgie Boyce has also made a vital contribution with the willow and thus, this trio plays a crucial role in the batting unit.
South African all-rounder Nadine de Klerk has been most effective with the ball for The Blaze taking 11 wickets from five innings. Also, along with making a vital contribution with the bat, Nat has also contributed with the ball taking four wickets in the competition.
Sunrisers have failed to fire this season, losing all their games in the tournament. Their batting has been the primary reason behind the fall as no batter has amassed more than 100 runs except for Cordelia Griffith. Even Griffith has scored 140 runs only with an average of 28 and a strike rate of 103.70 which adds to the already disappointing tale of the outfit. Mady Villiers and Kelly Castle have picked seven wickets each for the team with an average and strike rate both below 20. Grace Scrivens has also contributed with five wickets but the bowling unit would need their batters to step up and win some matches to salvage some pride.
The Blaze vs Sunrisers Toss Prediction
Only one Women’s T20I has been played at Trent Bridge and New Zealand beat India by 52 runs while batting first in the fixture. Apart from the game, no women’s cricket has been played on the surface and so, based on the international game, teams might opt to bat first. However, The Blaze have preferred bowling first in the tournament choosing it in each and every game where they won the toss.
Weather Report
According to the weather report by Worldweatheronline.com, the weather will be clear for most of the game but rain can interrupt during the end of the fixture. However, there will be constant cloud cover around during the match and so the pacers might get some assistance from the surface. Also, the temperature will hover around 17 degrees Celsius throughout the contest and so the weather will be clear.
