WCSL 2019 Match 29 – Storm vs Diamonds Fantasy Preview

It has been an absolutely impeccable season for Western Storm so far. Every team has their share of icon players but Storm has taken every other team by storm in the 2019 Kia Super League. As we reach the final day of round robin games, Storm has won 9 of 9 games so far and they will be looking to close out with another win and end the season unbeaten, going into the final of WCSL 2019.

In Match 29, Western Storm plays Yorkshire Diamonds, a team that desperately needs this win in order to finish in the top 3 and have a crack at qualifying to the semi final. They have 4 wins in 9 games so far and just a win is not enough, as they will need Southern Vipers to lose their game as well.

Western Storm

Three of the top 5 run scorers of this tournament are in the Western Storm squad led by Rachel Priest who has 331 runs including 3 fifties. Close behind her is Heather Knight who also has a massive tally of 310 runs, making them two of only 3 players in the competition to have 3 individual fifties. They both have an average of 40+ and both should be picked, especially Knight as she bowls and also has 5 wickets this season.

With the ball too, 3 of the top 6 wicket-takers are from this team. Leading them and the tournament is Freya Davies and the 23-year old bowler has shown remarkable consistency which means you can’t drop her from your fantasy team for sure. Behind her are Claire Nicholas and Anya Shrubsole with 11 wickets each. Pick India’s Deepti Sharma as she has 67 runs and 8 wickets already in the 2019 Kia Super League.

Yorkshire Diamonds

First person I’ll add to my Dotball (Sign-up and get Rs. 51 FREE) fantasy team is Jemimah Rodrigues. She had a horrible start to her series with just 26 runs in 3 games but since then, she has turned it around for herself with a fifty, two forties, a thirty and one massive century in her last 5 innings. Her latest knock of 112* was her third unbeaten one, taking her average to 56+ for the 2019 WCSL so far.

Alyssa Healy is next behind her in terms of runs scored with 241 runs in 9 games, so she can be your wicket-keeper selection for the day. With the ball, their leading wicket-taker is Alice Davidson-Richards who has 9 wickets in 9 games, but I’m picking her solely for her all-round abilities, also having hit 100 runs in the tournament so far. Kiwi player Leigh Kasperek also has 9 wickets in 9 games so far.
