Sunrisers vs Southern Vipers Betting Odds

Southern Vipers to score over 64.5 runs in first 15 overs

Southern Vipers have a top order of Ella McCaughan, Maia Bouchier, Nicole Faltum and Georgia Elwiss. Bouchier, in particular, has been scoring at a pretty decent rate in this competition with a strike rate of 89. Southern Vipers scoring over 64.5 runs in the first 10 overs could give good returns.

Sunrisers to score under 44.5 runs in the first 10 overs

Sunrisers' batting unit looks pretty vulnerable in the absence of Grace Scrivens and Mady Villiers. The rest of the line-up has struggled for form in both RHF Trophy and the recently concluded Charlotte Edwards Cup. Betting on Sunrisers to score under 44.5 runs in the first 10 overs makes sense.

Sunrisers vs Southern Vipers Top Team Batter

Jodie Grewcock to be Sunrisers’s best batter

Jodie Grewcock was excellent in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint trophy in the first half. She scored 120 runs in three innings with two half centuries to her name. There is a good value in betting on her to be the top batter for Sunrisers.

Maia Bouchier to be Southern Vipers’s best batter

Maia Bouchier has been very good for Vipers this year. Earlier she had scored 145 runs in four innings in the RHF Trophy at 36 average and 89 strike rate, with two fifties. She carried that form in the recent Charlotte Edwards Cup with 196 runs in six innings. Bet on Bouchier to be the top batter for Southern Vipers.

Sunrisers vs Southern Vipers Top Team Bowlers

Abtaha Maqsood to be Sunrisers’ best bowler

Abtaha Maqsood has picked nine wickets in four innings in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint trophy at an economy of 4.42. She snared 5 for 30 against Vipers in their previous clash. She is a key player for the team in the absence of Mady Villiers and Eva Gray. You can back Maqsood to be Sunrisers' top bowler.

Georgia Elwiss to be Southern Vipers’s best bowler

Georgia Elwiss has been the most economical bowler for Vipers in the RHF Trophy. She has conceded at just 3.09 rpo and has picked four wickets in three innings. She also had a good Charlotte Edwards Cup with nine wickets. Bet on Elwiss to be the best bowler for Southern Vipers.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Southern Vipers

Southern Vipers will be missing a few of their players in this game due to England and England A duties but despite that they have enough quality in both batting and bowling. Sunrisers are three players on whom they highly depend on. We predict that Southern Vipers will win this clash.

• Sunrisers to win - 2.35
• Southern Vipers to win - 1.60
