Match Details:

The 28th match of the Kia Super League 2019 will be played between Lancashire Thunder and Surrey Stars at the Stanley Park in Blackpool.

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

Preview:

The bottom two teams of the Kia Super League, Lancashire Thunder and Surrey Stars will face off at the Stanley Park in Blackpool. Both are desperate to finish with a win in a forgettable campaign. The failures with the bat have been the main reason behind their failures. The defending champions Surrey began the tournament with back to back wins including a bonus win against the Thunder.

Their 3rd game against Southern Vipers got washed out, the last time they earned points. On the other hand, the Lancashire Thunder are in an even worse position this season. They failed to win even one match and have lost eight out of the nine they played till date. The only time got points on the board was in the match against Southern Vipers which ended in a Tie.


Weather Condition/Report:

The weather forecast predicts a possibility of showers on Wednesday. The chances of rain come down significantly as the day progresses. However, since this will be a 2:30 PM start, there is a high possibility of a delayed start and a shortened match.

Pitch Condition/Report:

Blackpool’s Stanley Park has hosted one game each in every KSL season. The score in every game was higher than the previous one. Considering the batting form both teams the trend might not repeat. Anything over 140 will be a winning total here.

Average first innings score – 142 (KSL matches)

Record of chasing team – Won: 0, Lost: 3

Expert Advice:

Only Harmanpreet Kaur is a safe option in the batters category for this match. Bryony Smith can be picked since she bowls 3-4 overs alongside batting in top five. Lizelle Lee is way too inconsistent as she has single-digit scores more often.

Probable Winners:

Surrey Stars might finally get their 3rd win of the tournament.
