Pre-Match Analysis:

Northern Diamonds have a point to prove in this format of the game. Despite having a strong set of talented bunch of cricketers they couldn’t go big last year. They have a 1-1 win-loss record against Western Storm and will be keen to take a lead. Bess Heath, Sterre Kalis, Lauren Winfield, and Hollie Armitage are their core players who have done exceedingly well for the side in the past.

Western Storm are captained by Sophie Luff that includes superstar Heather Knight. They are looking forward to improving on their results this time as they failed to make a cut into the finals last season. There have been collective individual efforts that stood out last season where Sophie Luff scored 158 runs, and Fran Wilson and Danielle Gibson too made vital contributions. Heather Knight who just featured in 3 matches last edition has a massive role to play this year. Bowling has been their main strength and need to bat carefully.
