Preview:

In the 2nd match of the 2021 edition of the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, Western Storm will take on Thunder. Both teams have had their moments in the last edition of this competition, but they were not clinical enough to make it to the finals.

Storm finished as the runners-up of their group, while Thunder had to settle for third place in the group they were in. Both teams have experienced players in their ranks. While Heather Knight will be a key player for Storm, Sophie Ecclestone will be a player to watch out for from Thunder.
