Sunrisers and Western Storm will lock horns in their next fixture of the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy on Monday, July 24. The two teams will meet at College Ground in Cheltenham, with the match scheduled to start at 3 PM IST.

Western Storm vs Sunrisers Chance of Winning

It's the battle of the bottom table as Western Storm and Sunrisers look to turn things around in their rather miserable campaigns. Sunrisers are placed seventh on the table with 15 points from nine games, winning only two and losing four games. Western Storm are at the last spot with 12 points after nine games, having lost four and won only once.

Western Storm's previous fixture against South East Stars was called off after 36 overs due to persistent rain. Batting first, Storm were 182/6 on the back of Emma Corney's 48, and Sophie Luff and Danielle Gibson's 30s. In the match before that, they lost to Southern Vipers by four wickets in a rain-affected game. Storm posted 230/5 batting first with Corney scoring 69 while Fran Wilson and Niamh Holland smashing quick 40s. Defending 238 in 48 overs, their bowlers couldn't make much impact.

Sunrisers have been unlucky with their last two games getting washed out. Before that, they lost to South East Stars by 19 runs while chasing 282 in 48 overs. Jodie Grewcock picked 3 for 51 in the match but the rest of the attack was taken apart as they conceded 290 in 50 overs. Cordelia Griffith scored 92 off 113 while Dane van Niekerk smashed 44 off 33. But Grace Scrivens taking 96 balls for her 59 runs didn't help them as they fell short of the target.

Both the sides have had a below average season and it's hard to say which team is favourite heading into this game. Their chances of winning this match are as follows.

• Western Storm chance of winning @ 55%
• Sunrisers chance of winning @ 45%
