Preview:
Western Storm and Sunrisers are all set to go head-to-head on the opening day of the Charlotte Edwards Cup 2021, the premier women’s domestic tournament in England. These two teams are placed in Group B.
Western Storms have good memories of this tournament, having won two seasons previously, in 2017 and 2019. They would be looking to get off to a good start in this tournament as well.
