They didn't have a great start to the run-chase, losing 3 for 30 in the first 10 overs. But then Tazmin Brits produced yet another splendid knock, smashing 85 off just 63 deliveries. Stars lost a few wickets but eventually crossed the line with 81 balls to spare.

Wilson struck 49 off 47 while Holland smashed 44 off 43 as they scored 230 in 48 overs. Alex Griffiths and Piepa Cleary bagged two wickets each but Storm could not make enough inroads.

South East Stars vs Western Storm Betting Tips

Sophia Dunkley had a rough time in the Ashes with only one fifty but had hammered a century in one of the two games she played in the RHF Trophy. Taking a punt on Dunkley scoring over 26.5 runs in the match could give you good returns.

Fran Wilson has done a good job for Western Storm in the RHF Trophy, scoring 58*, 34, 43 and 49 in four of the last five innings. It would be justified to bet on Wilson to score over 24.5 runs in the match.

On the contrary, Western Storm have chosen to field first on all three occasions they won the toss. With the overcast weather, chasing will be a more ideal option.

South East Stars vs Western Storm Betting Odds

Western Storm to score under 42.5 runs in the first 10 overs

Western Storm have a vulnerable opening pair of Alex Griffiths and Sophie Luff, both of whom have been striking at less than 55 in the tournament. They will be facing South East Stars, who have an excellent and in-form bowling attack. It would be wise to bet on Western Storm scoring under 42.5 runs in the first 10 overs.

South East Stars to score over 80.5 runs in the first 20 overs

South East Stars are likely to have Sophia Dunkley and Alice Capsey back in their top order. Both players are naturally aggressive while Tazmin Brits is coming off two outrageous knocks. It makes sense to bet on South East Stars to score over 80.5 runs in the first 20 overs.

South East Stars vs Western Storm Top Team Batter

Tazmin Brits to be South East Stars’s best batter

The South African batter joined the team only recently but has made a massive impact in the RHF trophy. She struck 112 not-out in just 72 deliveries against Sunrisers and followed it up with 85 off 63 versus The Blaze. Brits is a good bet to be the top batter for South East Stars.

Heather Knight to be Western Storm’s best batter

Heather Knight is one of the best players in the game. She has a good record in the format, and has recently scored an unbeaten 75 in the first ODI against Australia. Given her quality, you can bet on Knight to be the top batter for Western Storm.

South East Stars vs Western Storm Top Team Bowlers

Freya Davis to be South East Stars’ best bowler

The right arm seamer was superb in the previous game, picking 3 for 28 in nine overs. She has taken 10 wickets from six innings at an economy of 4.41. Betting on Freya Davis to be South East Stars' top bowler could give good returns.

Lauren Filer to be Western Storm’s best bowler

Lauren Filer made a good impression in the Ashes with her pace. In the RHF trophy, she has played four games this season and has taken eight wickets. She has the ability to trouble even the best batters. You can back her to be the best bowler for Western Storm.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: South East Stars

South East Stars will have Alice Capsey and Sophia Dunkley back following the conclusion of the women's Ashes. It makes them even stronger with plenty of quality in both batting and bowling departments. Western Storm should have Heather Knight andLauren Filer back in the side, and will need big contributions from them. We predict South East Stars to win this clash.
