Extract certain rows of column with data starting on certain keywords

I am looking for a solution to extract rows containing certain keywords from column "X".  and the remaining data will add to "Total". For example any keyword with SI or SB will be added to count field "Log" and the other entries excluding empty cell will be added to count field "Total".

SNOX

1

400
2SI-SCRIPT-ERROR
3(SI-BPR-01)
4SB-Timeout
5SB-OrderFound
6(SB-BPR-02)--(SB-EXL-001)
7201
8SI-RAS-200
9<empty>

Something like

| where match(X, "\b(SI|SB)\b")
| stats sum(SNO) as SNO_total

Here is a full emulation

| makeresults format=csv data="SNO,	X
1,400
2,	SI-SCRIPT-ERROR
3,	(SI-BPR-01)
4,	SB-Timeout
5,	SB-OrderFound
6,	(SB-BPR-02)--(SB-EXL-001)
7,	201
8,	SI-RAS-200
9,"
``` data emulation above ```
| where match(X, "\b(SI|SB)\b")
| stats sum(SNO) as SNO_total

Result is

SNO_total
28
