SPI vs TDW Team Previews
Spirit Women
The Spirit Women's team had a great start to the season as they won their first two consecutive matches. However, they did falter a bit in their latest outing, losing out to a rampant Warriors team in a close encounter.
Skipper Nicola Carey has led the team from the front and put up an excellent performance with the bat. With a total of 98, she is the top run-getter for the team. She has received good support from Bismah Mahroof in the middle order.
The Warriors have an excellent top-order batter in the form of Sophia Dunkley, but she hasn’t played to get full potential. Similarly, the form of Sarah Bryce and Natthakan Chantham remains a cause of concern for the team. The team has a formidable pace attack in the form of Ayabonga Khaka, Nensi Patel, and Mahika Gaur and they will be hoping to contain the opposition batters by bowling a tight line and length.
However, they do appear a bit lacking in the spin department as rather than having a full-time spinner, they are more dependent on all-rounders Sarah Dunkley and Betty Chan to fill during the middle overs.

Gargi Bhogle, Kerry-Anne Tomlinson, Mahika Gaur, Natthakan Chantham, Shizuka Miyaji, Yasmin Daswani, Ayabonga Khaka, Bismah Maroof, Sophia Dunkley, Nicola Carey, Naruemol Chaiwai.
Tornadoes Women
The Tornadoes Women are the defending Champions for this season but have endured the worst possible start as they are winless after playing 4 matches so far. As a result, they are languishing at the bottom of the points table with an extremely poor NRR.
Sune Luus, who led the team in their latest fixture, has done a good job with the bat, scoring a total of 126 runs at an average of 63.00. However, she has received little support from the top and middle-order batters. Dane van Niekerk and Sterre Kalis have failed to give the team a good start, while Aliya Riaz, Natasha Miles, and Chanida Sutthiruang have lacked consistency in the middle orders.
The bowling has been quite lackluster too. Winifred Duraisingam, who was the team’s leading wicket-taker in the previous season, has picked up just 2 wickets so far and has been pretty expensive. She is expected to lead the pace attack here along with Diana Baig, who has 4 wickets against her name.
Just like their opponents, the Tornadoes too lack a quality spin attack and will depend on Sune Luus to bowl a good spell here.

Pitch and Conditions
The pitch at the Kowloon Cricket Club is well-balanced, providing equal opportunities to the batters as well as the bowlers. There has been some rain in Hong Kong over the last few days and the moisture in the pitch will make the ball sit up and doesn’t come that well onto the bat. That said, once the batters get their eye in, they will be able to score runs freely. Anything over 150 will be difficult to chase here.
The weather is likely to remain cloudy with temperatures below 23 degrees Celsius.
SPI vs TDW Betting Tips
Looking at the performance of both teams so far this season, there is only one team to back here and that is the Warriors. They have performed well in all departments and have a stronger batting line-up. The bowling, particularly the seam department is in good shape and will ask tough questions of the Tornadoes’ underwhelming batting line-up.
Bet on the Spirit Women to win.
