The Western Storm and Northern Diamonds will lock horns in a Group B fixture of the English Women's Regional T20 at the Cooper Associates County Ground in Taunton on Saturday.
Western Storm are placed in second spot in the points table with a win and a defeat so far. The Storm started their English Women's Regional T20 campaign with a seven-wicket defeat to the Sunrisers before quickly bouncing back to record an emphatic nine-wicket win over the Thunder.
The Northern Diamonds have also won and lost one game apiece in the English Women's Regional T20, but occupy top spot, owing to having a better net run rate. The Diamonds lost to the Thunder by 12 runs in their season opener but registered an eight-wicket win over the Sunrisers in their next match.
With both teams eager to extend their winning momentum, we should be in for a cracking English Women's Regional T20 contest at the Cooper Associates County Ground in Taunton on Saturday.

Pitch report
Both teams will look to bat first on a relatively flat wicket in Taunton. Batters will enjoy the favorable conditions on offer in the first innings. But the same cannot be said for the team batting second as the spinners will come into play, with the wicket slowing down a little as the match progresses. 170 should be the par score on this surface. Overall, an exciting English Women's Regional T20 game is on the cards at the Cooper Associates County Ground on Saturday.
