WS vs SUN Match Preview
WS vs SUN On Saturday, the Western Storm and Sunrisers will face off in the first Women’s Regional T20 tournament’s Group B encounter at the Cooper Associates County Ground in Taunton.
The ECB began the Women’s Regional T20 tournament with a larger number of teams due to the suspension of the Women’s Super League T20 event. The Western Storm have won the Super League twice, in 2017 and 2019, and will be ready to compete in this event as well.
Meanwhile, the Sunrisers, led by Amara Carr, are having a forgettable Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy 2021 campaign. They will, however, look for a change in fortunes with the change in format.
Match Details
Match: Western Storm vs Sunrisers, Group B
Venue: The Cooper Associates County Ground, Taunton
Date and Time (IST): 26th June, 7:00 PM
Pitch report
The highest T20 total recorded at this venue was by England Women – 250/3 back in 2018. It’s a pure batting wicket with spinners getting their share in the latter stages of the game. Captains winning the toss should bat first without a second thought.
170-180 is the average first innings score and bowlers need to toil hard on this relatively high-scoring wicket.
