Western Storm v Southern Vipers
Charlotte Edwards Cup
Sunday 9th June 2024 (10:30am start)
Seat Unique Stadium, Bristol
Southern Vipers return to Bristol to take on Western Storm in the Charlotte Edwards Cup.
The last time the two sides met, the Vipers completed a comfortable 28-run victory where Charli Knott took career-best T20 figures of 4-23 whilst Georgias Adams and Elwiss both recorded scores in the 40s.
Sunday will only be the third time the two teams have played one another in the Charlotte Edwards Cup.
The two sides played out a thriller in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, also at Bristol, where Knott reached her maiden career century before Freya Davies and Georgia Adams both picked up two wickets each to help seal victory by just four runs.

Western Storm

Amanda-Jade Wellington is currently their leading wicket taker with Chloe Skelton and Sophia Smale making a formidable spin trio, whilst Alex Griffiths and loanees Ellie Anderson and Issy Wong make up their pace attack.
