Surrey Stars

Despite having a strong side, Surrey Stars have been failing to perform in every game. However, Sarah Taylor has returned with a bang and scored a blistering 73 recently. She nearly pulled off the win but failed to do so and Stars lost the game by mere 4 runs to Western Storms. Along with her, captain Natalie Sciver and Dane van Niekerk’s all-round capabilities have been proving beneficial for the team.

Predicted Playing XI

Lizelle Lee, Bryony Smith, Sarah Taylor (WK), Natalie Sciver (C), Dane van Niekerk, Marizanne Kapp, Aylish Cranstone, Laura Marsh, Gwenan Davies, Mady Villiers, Amy Gordon

Injury and Availability News:

No injury concern from both teams as of now.

Both the teams are looking forward to keeping their playing XI intact. While Surrey batters will try to provide good support in the middle-order, Thunder’s dependance will be on their middle-order as well. As they are out of the tournament already, they would love to end the season with a win.

Weather and pitch report

This is the last home match for Lancashire Thunder. The weather forecast is good with temperatures will be around 20 degrees. As the Stanley Park in Blackpool is hosting its first-ever KSL game, the pitch is relatively unknown. With the big hitters like Harmanpreet Kaur, Lizelle Lee’s presence in both teams, the game is expected to be a big scoring.

In the last five meetings between the two teams, Thunder have managed only one win whereas Stars won four games.
