Sunrisers vs Western Storm Chances of Winning

The Sunrisers currently find themselves at the bottom of the league table with just two victories, five losses, and three matches that were abandoned due to rain. They have accumulated a total of 15 points and possess a net run rate of -0.489. The team, led by Dane van Niekerk, must be feeling quite disappointed with their recent performance, especially considering their narrow six-run loss in their previous game. In a match that was shortened due to rain and limited to 22 overs, the Western Storm set a target of 166 runs. Sunrisers made valiant efforts, with Grace Scrivens, Dane van Niekerk, Mady Villiers, and Eva Gray all making small contributions that brought them close to victory. However, they faltered in crucial moments, ultimately resulting in a defeat. Unfortunately, luck hasn't been on their side lately, with two of their previous two games also ending without a decisive result.

Western Storm, on the contrary, climbed just above Sunrisers in the league table after defeating the latter by 6 runs in their latest encounter. They have 16 points to themselves in ten games, courtesy of two wins, four defeats and four matches where they shared points. Some notable contributions from Alex Griffiths and Niamh Holland helped Western Storm achieve a total of 165 runs. In the next innings, Sophia Smale stunned with the ball, picking up four for just 34. Chloe Skelton did not lack behind as she bagged three for 36 while Danielle Gibson settled with just one.

Sunrisers vs Western Storm Betting Tips

Grace Scrivens scored 217 runs in 6 innings this season at an average of 36.16. She is Sunrisers’ top-scorer this season and also smashed two fifties. Against Western Storm this season, she scored 39 runs, which surpasses our target of 28.5 runs. Given her form, it is fair to anticipate that Scrivens will score over 28.5 runs against Western Storm in the game.

Emma Corney has displayed a decent show with the bat this season. In total, she has accumulated 167 runs in only 6 innings at an average of 27.83. She did not bat in the last game but her previous three scores read 29, 69 & 48 runs respectively. This makes us believe that scoring over 22.5 runs will be a cakewalk for this 19-year-old player. Bet on Emma Corney to score over 22.5 runs against Sunrisers.
