In June 2015, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced that they were introducing the Women's Cricket Super League the following year, comprising six teams, in order to take advantage of the growing popularity of women's cricket, and to bridge the gap between domestic and international cricket by improving standards. Prospective host venues were invited to apply for a team; the ECB aimed to have a good geographical spread, while also catering to existing top players by taking their home addresses into account.{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2015/jun/18/women-t20-super-league-launch-cricket |title=ECB announces plan to launch Women’s Cricket Super League next year |last=Burnton |first=Simon |work=The Guardian |date=18 June 2015 |accessdate=26 February 2020}} In February 2016, the ECB revealed the six teams; the Western Storm were the result of a joint bid by Gloucestershire County Cricket Club, Somerset County Cricket Club and the University of Exeter.{{cite news |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/england/content/story/976207.html |title=ECB unveil teams and schedule for Women's Cricket Super League |work=ESPNcricinfo |date=25 February 2016 |accessdate=26 February 2020}}

In 2016, each team played each other once during the group stage. In their opening match on 31 July, the Western Storm faced the Lancashire Thunder. The Thunder batted first and were dismissed all out for 83 runs, a total the Storm chased down to win with 27 balls remaining. Knight and Taylor were the Storm's best performers for the Storm with both bat and ball in the match.{{cite news |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/series/17906/report/993647/Western-Storm-vs-Lancashire-Thunder- |title=Knight stars as Storm rumble Thunder |work=ESPNcricinfo |date=31 July 2016 |accessdate=27 February 2020}} In their next match, the Loughborough Lightning rallied from 31 for three to score 158 for eight.

Western Storm retained a similar squad for the second season; two of three overseas players remained and all three England players. Lee made way for the New Zealander Holly Huddleston, a swing bowler, which Knight said was because they considered their team too batting heavy in 2016, and she hoped that Huddlestone would provide "a bit more firepower and bowling at the death".{{cite web |url=https://crickether.com/2017/08/07/kia-super-league-2017-preview/ |title=Kia Super League 2017 Preview |last1=Egan |first1=Syd |last2=Nicholson |first2=Raf |website=CRICKETher |date=7 August 2017 |accessdate=28 February 2020}} The first match of the competition was a repeat of the 2016 final; the Storm batted first and were dismissed all out for 70 runs during which they only score three boundaries.

Surrey Stars batted first in the semi-final, and were restricted to 100 for seven on a slow pitch; Shrubsole took three wickets, while Claire Nicholas only allowed 14 runs from her four overs. In their response, the Storm struggled against Marizanne Kapp, who took three wickets in four balls for the Stars, which saw the Storm reduced to 17 for four during the fourth over.
