Mentioned below is the top team betting tip from the LIG vs NOD head-to-head encounter.

Northern Diamonds to win

This is one of the easiest betting tips to predict. Northern Diamonds will be walking into this match as our clear favourites. In the previous edition of the competition, Northern Diamonds finished at the crown position of the Group B table. They played six matches, winning four and losing on the other two occasions to gather 17 points in the process. Lightning on the contrary had a forgetful campaign last time around. They finished at the foot of the Group A table with six hovering defeats from as many games. They failed to open their account last season. NOD were also backed by a better net run rate in comparison to LIG’s -0.139. NOD made it to the semi-finals of the competition wherein they handed Southern Vipers a 18 run defeat. However, they suffered a massive setback when SES defeated them by five wickets in the finals. They will aim to keep their last season’s disappointment behind and will be looking forward to getting their hands on the silverware this time around. Diamonds have three wins in their last five matches while Lightning have none. Therefore, the recent run of form tilts heavily in their favour. Diamonds have a lethal bowling attack including the likes of J Gunn, L Smith and K Levick. The three of them picked up 13, 10 & 10 wickets respectively last season. H Armitage hammered 141 runs from eight games in the previous edition of the competition. She will be a crucial player for Diamonds in this game. Considering all these, we have sided with Northern Diamonds in this game. If you feel the same, scoot over to Pari Match and place your bet on the same for a heavy cashout.
