Western Storm vs Sunrisers match prediction 18 Sep 2021

WS vs SUN Match 27 Predictions & Betting Tips

Western Storm will square off against the Sunrisers in their last match of the season at the County Ground in Bristol on Saturday, the 18th of September. Both the teams have had a campaign to forget, but will be eager to cap their tournament off with a win. Here, I have collated the three best Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy betting tips for you from the WS vs SUN match prediction.

After recording a mammoth victory in their last outing, the Storm will be feeling confident of their chances to end the season on a high. It helps that their upcoming opponents Sunrisers have lost all their six games in the tournament so far, and have little going in their favour at the moment. The fate for both teams was already sealed ahead of the previous matchday as it was no longer mathematically possible to end up in the top three spots. Even so, both outfits put in commendable performances and while Storm’s efforts bore fruit, Sunrisers were just a tad too unlucky to not register their maiden win. Nevertheless, Western Storm enter the fixture as strong favourites on the back of a way more successful season. In the Charlotte Edwards Cup, the team had managed a second-placed finish in its group, 11 points off their rivals who ended dead last. On that note, I present to you the top three bets from the fixture as a part of my WS vs SUN match prediction.

WS vs SUN Player Bets:

Given the disparity between the performances of Western Storm and Sunrisers, the bookmakers have offered rather underwhelming team odds with paltry returns. Thus, I have handpicked the three best player bets for you from the WS vs SUN head-to-head encounter.

Sophie Luff to score over 28.5

The flamboyant batter has been enjoying a great domestic season so far. Playing six matches at the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, Luff has scored a phenomenal 260 runs at a fantastic average of 43.33. The 27-year-old has registered scores over the required mark in five of those innings, really coming alive off late. In the first match after a long break in the tournament, the top-order batter scored a sensational 65, only to better it with a steady 70 in the latest match. Across formats, Luff has played four games in the last 20 days, averaging a whopping 76.33. The batswoman was on song right through the recently concluded Charlotte Edwards Cup, racking up 127 runs at an average of 31.75. She has simply carried on her momentum from a statement-making last season, where she accumulated 339 runs at a stunning average of 67.8. With staggering numbers like that, you can confidently act upon this WS vs SUN betting tip by heading to Dafabet and taking up their odds of 1.87 on Sophie Luff scoring over 28.5 runs.

Georgia May Hennessy to score under 23.5

In stark contrast to her teammate, Georgia Hennessy has largely struggled this season. After a successful 2020 campaign where she stroked 209 runs at an average of nearly 35, the right-handers average has plummeted to an eye-opening 8.50 in RHFT 2021. She has managed a paltry 51 runs in six innings, failing to cross the required mark even once in the period. In fact, in the nine times she has taken the crease since August, Hennessy has scored a scant 123 runs, crossing the required threshold just twice. In the recently concluded Hundred, the youngster scored just 58 runs in six innings, at a rate of 14.50 runs per dismissal. Even in the Charlotte Edwards Cup, Hennessy could only aggregate 120 runs across six innings and while her average was helped by a couple of not-outs, in the end she only crossed the mark of 23 twice. Thus, the opener’s season seems to keep getting worse with each passing match. You can capitalize on this WS vs SUN match prediction of Georgia May Hennessy scoring under 23.5 at Dafabet who have offered lucrative odds of 1.87.

Cordelia Lauren Griffith to score over 24.5

CL Griffith has been making waves in the domestic circuit off late. In the Charlotte Edwards Cup, the 25-year-old racked up 129 runs in just four innings at a remarkable average of 32.25. However, her real forte seems to be the 50-over format, as per her numbers in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy. Griffith has 224 runs in six innings, at an incredible average of 37.33. She has really been flying high off late, stroking her way to scores of 91 and 69 in the last two matches. The top-order batswoman has really acquired a new lease of life after a disappointing Hundred. In the five matches since, Griffith has an astounding 255 runs at an average of 51, crossing the required run threshold on four separate occasions. Less than three weeks ago versus the Storm, the Londoner had made her way to a flamboyant 32. With a golden opportunity to stack up more runs on her birthday, I can confidently predict Cordelia Lauren Griffith to defy Dafabet’s odds of 1.87 by scoring over 24.5 in the WS vs SUN head-to-head battle.
