The Sunrisers will take on the Central Sparks in the first match of the English Women’s Regional T20 2023 at the County Ground, Chelmsford on Thursday, May 18. Ahead of the match, here's all you need to know about the SUN vs CES Dream11 prediction, including fantasy cricket tips, today's playing 11s and the pitch report for this game.
The Sunrisers had a poor season in 2022 as they lost all six games in this T20 tournament. They haven't had a great start to the 2023 season either as they have one win, three losses and one no-result in the 50-over format. Thus, they will be hoping a change in format brings some change to their fortunes.
On the other hand, the Central Sparks reached the final in the 2022 edition of this T20 competition. They had four wins and two losses in the league phase before losing to the Southern Vipers in the title clash.
This year, they have two wins, two losses and one no-result in the five 50-over matches they have played.
