The Blaze vs Western Storm Betting Tips
Western Storm to score low runs before 1st dismissal (@Parimatch)
The Western Storm are not having a pleasant campaign. They lack in their batting order and it was quite evident in their five outings so far. Sophia Smale and Alex Griffiths opened for the side in the five games so far. The duo played a few incredible innings but suffer from inconsistency with the bat. Smale and Griffiths average at 16.80 & 14.40 respectively in the competition. The team posted the scores of 17, 59, 52, 8 & 19 runs before their first dismissal in their five outings. Moreover, the Blaze have caused trouble with the ball in their campaign. That said, Western Storm will be expected to lose an early wicket in the next game.
