Thunder vs Western Storm Betting Tips

Thunder to score low before 1st dismissal (@Parimatch)

The Thunder did not have a pleasant outing in the first game. They lost the game and could only post the score of 8 runs when Emma Lamb returned to the stands with no runs to her name in the opening order. Seren Smale, the other opener, scored 32 runs in the game. The duo posted 14 runs before Lamb lost her wicket at 5 in the last game. Emma Lamb has been struggling with her form recently. She delivered underwhelming performances in the format. With Lamb’s poor form and under-experienced Smale, the opening order looks fragile and will be susceptible to losing an early wicket in the next game.

Thunder vs Western Storm Toss Prediction

The wicket at Old Trafford is expected to provide an equal contest between the bat and ball. Batters will need to apply themselves on the wicket before playing the big shots. The skipper winning the toss might prefer to bowl first and chase the total later on.

Weather Report

It will be a cold day in Manchester on April 27. The temperature will remain under 10 degree Celsius. The skies will be cloudy with light showers.

Western Storm Recent Form

Western Storm are struggling in the competition. Losing two games in a row will not be a confident booster for the team. Their bowling order was pretty expensive in the last game and could not cope up with the other team.

Thunder vs Western Storm Betting Odds

The Thunder were shaken after a loss in their first game. They came in fiercely in their next game against Sunrisers. Batting first, Thunder secured 292 runs in the game while losing 5 wickets in the process. Katie Mack smashed 100 runs off 110 balls in the game while Fi Morris chipped in 89 runs in the game. The middle order was impressive in the game that aided them to win the match. Chasing the target, Sunrisers were all out at 150 runs in the game. Thunder won the game by 142 runs and claimed the 3rd position in the points table. Kate Cross and Sophie Ecclestone picked 3 wickets each in the game. The team looks good and will be expected to perform well in the next game.

Western Storm will be disappointed after their loss in the last game. They clashed against Northern Diamonds in the last game. Batting first, Northern Diamonds secured 275/9 in the game. Sophia Smale, Amanda-Jade Wellington and Danielle Gibson were the top bowlers from Western Storm who picked 3 wickets in the game. However, the remaining bowling order did not impress and kept giving away runs in the game. While chasing, Western Storm were all out at 265, losing the game by 10 runs. There were no particular batters who played well but mediocre innings from many batters resulted in their total. They need work in both the departments as they go up against Thunder in the next game.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Thunder

Thunder and Western Storm have clashed four times before where the latter leads the tally by 3-1. The sides clashed once last season where Thunder won the game by 5 wickets. Western Storm are not doing very well this season. They have lost two games in a row and lack majorly in their batting order. The Thunder batted very well and unleashed their batting strength in the last game. That said, Thunder will be expected to win this affair.
