Sunrisers vs South East Stars Betting Odds
South East Stars to hit more sixes than Sunrisers
South East Stars have in their ranks several capable power-hitters that like to deal in sixes when possible. Across three games in the season, the side has already cleared the fence 13 times, with 10 sixes coming in their opener alone. Their upcoming opponents, on the other hand, have only managed two maximums in three matches so far, failing to tally a six in their previous two encounters. Thus, SES are bound to outhit their upcoming opponents in Radlett.
Sunrisers vs South East Stars Top Team Batters
Jodie Grewcock to be Sunrisers’ top batter
Having made her debut last year, Jodie Grewcock has shown in 2023 why she has been so highly reputed at such a young age. The 18-year-old has started the season with two half-centuries in three games in a batting unit that has struggled immensely, leading the charts for her team with 120 runs in three innings at an average of 40. Jodie’s maiden half-century for the Sunrisers came in the opener against Southern Vipers where her steady 69 was instrumental in the team’s first-ever win over their fancied rivals. The next display of her talent came in the latest encounter against reigning champions Northern Diamonds as her valiant was yet again the team’s best performance in a lowly total of 157. Even last season, the southpaw had shown great promise with 35 runs on debut but only got one more chance after that. Thus, expect Jodie Grewcock to emerge as the heroic prodigy for Sunrisers yet again on Friday.
Paige Scholfield to be South East Stars’ top batter
Paige Scholfield has finally arrived in her much anticipated breakthrough RHFT season, having already struck two centuries in her three games in the tournament. The 27-year-old kicked off the tournament with an unbeaten 111 off just 90 balls against Thunder but was truly at her sensational best in the latest encounter against Western Storm, scoring 134* in just 109 deliveries. Scholfield is currently the leading run-scorer of the ongoing edition by far with 276 runs to her name and has only been dismissed once across three games. Thus, expect the right-handed batter to set Radlett alight on Friday.
Sunrisers vs South East Stars Top Team Bowlers
Mady Villiers to be Sunrisers’ top bowler
A capped English player with 17 WT20I appearances to her name, Mady Villiers is on the right path to breaking into the country’s 50-over setup as well. In two games, she has already scalped six wickets at an average of 19.82 to be placed second in the overall tournament standings. In her latest game, she nearly gave her team an unlikely shot at victory with a three-wicket haul against the Diamonds but it did not prove to be enough. In the 2022 edition as well, the off-spinner was Sunrisers’ second-leading wicket-taker with 12 in six games at an average of 21.83 and a brilliant economy of 4.37. Expect the 24-year-old to be the most dangerous prospect for her team in Radlett.
Alice Capsey to be South East Stars’ top bowler
Given the irregular and inconsistent South East Stars bowling unit, which performs like an ensemble where a different character steals the show every night, it is hard to look past Alice Capsey to lead the side’s bowling charts on Friday considering her exploits in the previous game. Facing Western Storm, the off-spinner returned sensational figures of 7.5-0-28-6, blowing apart the opposition’s batting to hand her side a massive victory. With the likes of Ryana Macdonal-Gay and Freya Davies unlikely to bowl each game, Capsey may prove to be the safest bet available for punters.
Our Prediction
Favorites to win: South East Stars
There was little doubt South East Stars are a quality 50-overs side and that Sunrisers are not but the way the two sides have started the new season has left no room for debates. The former are already gunning for the top spot with two wins in three games while the latter lag in the bottom half of the table, unlikely to improve on last season’s bottom-placed finish
- Sunrisers to win @ 2.54
- South East Stars to win @ 1.52
