Thunder will take on Northern Diamonds in the Charlotte Edwards Cup on June 7 at Stanley Park in Blackpool. The tournament is almost at the end of the league stage. Thunder have won three out of the six games, and now they are under the compulsion to register a win as Western Storm equaled their win and are way ahead of Thunder's net run rate.
This is the Thunder's last league game. In the last five games, the Thunder have batted first four times and decently maintained their average wicket loss per match. In the last three innings, they posted a good total on the board to defend it. Credit goes to their top-order batters who stood up in different matches for their team, including Emma Lamb's all-round performance of 160 runs and 4 wickets in her incomplete spells in the last four games. In the last game, they used six bowlers to defend 165 against South East Stars. In the batting section, Lamb's 63 and Fi Morris 44 helped Naomi Dattani go hard in the final phase of the innings to score 30* (18). Coming to their bowling department, the first half of the innings was not under the control of the Thunder, as they gave away 87 runs in nine overs. Olivia Bell's two wickets in one over to clean the openers shifted the momentum toward Thunder. Like Olivia, Lamb cleaned up the middle order as both middle-order batters were dismissed for ducks. At one stage, SES were 87 for 1 in 9 overs and then went to 118 for seven. SES were dismissed for 149 runs and lost the game by 25 runs.
The Northern Diamonds have won four out of the six games. Their primary concern is that they failed in their past two games and need a convincing win to regain confidence ahead of knockouts. Another thing to worry about is their average wicket loss per match. Thunder lost an average of 5 wickets per match, while Northern Diamonds lost 8 wickets per match this season. In their last game, they bowled first against the Southern Vipers, similar to the Thunder; they utilized their all-rounders to share the overs. Initial over bowlers provided the early breakthroughs, and others picked up wickets regularly. The lower middle-order partnership helped the opponent post 144 in the end. Except for Abigali Glen and Katherine Fraser, all took wickets. While chasing this low score, the top three batters of the Northern Diamonds were dismissed in under 4 overs. Then a couple of thirties from all-rounder Chloe Tryon (30) and Steere Kalis (36) restructured the innings. However, there were no contributions from others, leading to another failure for Northern Diamonds. Here, they lost nine wickets for 128 runs.
