The Thunder will take on Western Storm in a Group B fixture of the English Women's Regional T20 at the Boughton Hall Cricket Club Ground in Chester on Sunday.
The Thunder will come into the match high on confidence after winning their English Women's Regional T20 opener against the Northern Diamonds by 12 runs. They currently sit at the top of the Group B points table with a win from their only game played thus far. The Alex Hartley-led side will be hoping to continue their winning momentum in the English Women's Regional T20 when they lock horns with the Western Storm later today.
Speaking of the Western Storm, they have had a dismal start to their English Women's Regional T20 campaign as they fell to a seven-wicket loss in their opening game against the Sunrisers. They have lost the only match they have played thus far and are currently placed at the bottom of the Group B points table. Sophie Luff and co. will be eager to pick up a win from today's match and open their account in the English Women's Regional T20.

Pitch Report
The pitch at the Boughton Hall Cricket Club Ground is a sporting one which has something to offer for both the batters and bowlers. While the batters will have to bide some time in the middle before going for the big shots, the pacers are expected to procure some movement early on with the new ball. The teams batting first have won the majority of the games played on this ground and one must not hesitate to bat first upon winning the toss.
