Preview:
Despite some incredible performances throughout the match, Thunder ended up losing their 1st match against the Western Storm by one wicket in the final ball of the match. They will definitely be hoping to come back stronger in their next game.
Sunrisers didn’t expect the huge loss coming in their way in their first game against the South East Stars as they encountered a massive loss of 135 runs. Their batswoman got starts but failed to convert into the big scores. The bowlers conceded too many runs which hurt them the most.

It’s a balanced wicket with equal help for both batters and bowlers. The surface might tend to slow a little in the latter half and hence bowling first will be a good option.
