County Ground in New Road

On August 30, 2024, Central Sparks are set to clash with Southern Vipers in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy. They will be hosted at County Ground, New Road, Worcester, with the action kicking off at 3:00 P.M IST.

Central Sparks vs Southern Vipers Chances of Winning

Central Sparks waited with bated breath before they could claim their third victory of the season in the last outing against Western Storm who have struggled equally to put up a fair fight. As Central Sparks took to the crease first, skipper and opener Eve Jones took matters into her own hands and made sure to put the team in a comfortable position, having scored 130 runs. Wicket-keeper batter Abigail Freeborn joined the party later to score an unbeaten 89 which allowed the team to post 297 runs on the board, helped by scant contributions from the other batters. With a par score to defend, all Central Sparks had to do was hold their nerve and they did just that as they did not let Western Storm hit the ground running by establishing a partnership. Georgia Davis, particularly, was sensational with her six-wicket haul and eventually, Western Storm were bowled out for 152, allowing Central Sparks to relish a 145-run win.

Table toppers Southern Vipers had an unseemly upset in the previous game against The Blaze, especially since the latter’s meager total of 208 should have been a cakewalk. However, their chase was fraught with difficulty as their lineup struggled to keep a partnership going. Emily Windsor, Rhianna Southby and Abi Norgrove were the top scorers with 41, 36 and 32 runs, respectively. Notwithstanding the pressure, Southern Vipers were bundled out for 188 which led to a 20-run drubbing.

Central Sparks vs Southern Vipers Betting Tips

Southern Vipers to score over 18.5 before first dismissal @ 1.87 (Batery)

In the previous five matches, there has only been a single instance where Southern Vipers’ opening wicket posted a total lower than 18.5. In spite of the fact that several combinations of openers have led the innings for the team, they seem to have a durable first wicket. Ella McCaughan is the only recurring opener while the others tend to change and in the last five outings, Southern Vipers boast stands of 33, 46, 16, 39 and 28 before the first dismissal.

Central Sparks vs Southern Vipers Toss Prediction

The pitch at County Ground in New Road is better suited to teams fielding first and the teams prefer that at the venue, having chosen that strategy in both games played here this season. Although the result has gone in favor of the teams batting and fielding first with one victory apiece, the average first innings total of 214 this season makes fielding a more appealing option.

Central Sparks vs Southern Vipers Betting Odds

Southern Vipers to have a better opening partnership than Central Sparks

Eve Jones and Chloe Brewer were responsible for opening the innings for Central Sparks before the latter was dropped in lieu of Ami Campbell in the previous game which brought a noticeable improvement to the opening order. In the last three games, the team has had opening totals of 39, 0 and 5 runs. Southern Vipers had a similar trajectory as Ella McCaughan was their mainstay along with Charli Knott until the latter was replaced by Rhianna Southby in the last match. However, the distinction in both sides lies in the fact that Southern Vipers are able to adjust better to the changes, making their opening stands quite consistent. With scores of 33, 46 and 16 runs in the previous three outings, Southern Vipers are set to put on a better first partnership than Central Sparks.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Southern Vipers

Central Sparks wins are quite sparse and usually sandwiched by a slew of defeats. Their third victory of the season against Western Storm was, admittedly, much-deserved given how well they performed but it is a rarity when their overall form is taken into account. With three wins and seven losses this season, they are at the absolute bottom of the table with a substandard net run rate of -0.549. Southern Vipers are at the other end of the spectrum in first place with seven victories, three defeats and a net run rate of 0.788 which makes them the obvious contender for another win.
