Match Details:

The 15th match of the Kia Women’s Super League 2019 will be played between Lancashire Thunder and Western Storm at the Chester Boughton Hall CC in Chester.

The match starts at 2:30 PM local time (7:00 PM IST) (1:30 PM GMT).


Preview

The Kia Super League 2019 will be back in action with the 15th game between Lancashire Thunder and Western Storm. The Thunder, despite having some high-quality players in the ranks, hasn’t been able to get over the line thus far in the tournament. They have played five games and haven’t won a single one. Thus, for the obvious reasons, they are placed last on the points table.

With another five games still to be played in the tournament, this is their opportunity to turn things around. However, it will be quite a herculean task against the Western Storm who have won all the five games they played so far. The last time these two teams met, the Storm managed to get over the line with 6 wickets to spare. They have more or less sealed a playoff spot but will like a few more wins under their belt.

It will be a sunny day in Chester on Sunday. The temperature throughout the game will be around 18 Degrees Celsius and the chances of precipitation are quite minimal. However, there will be a strong wind that will be blowing around.
