HEAD TO HEAD

TEAMS PREVIEW

Adelaide Strikers Preview

It was a clinical performance from Tahlia McGrath's side against Brisbane Heat Women. They bowled with a lot of heart to defend a low total and win the game by 59 runs. They will look to improve their position on the points table with a win. McGrath would like her players to take inspiration from their excellent record against Sydney Sixers Women.  

Katie Mack has batted well this season, but the side will need a good show from Laura Wolvaardt in this game. Bridget Patterson played a match-winning knock in the last game and will look to do well in the middle with McGrath and Madeline Penna. They will expect quick runs in the lower middle order from Georgia Adams, Danielle Gibson, and Amanda-Jade Wellington. 

On the bowling front, Megan Schutt and Gibson have done well with the new ball, and the team will expect early strikes from them. Amanda-Jade Wellington bowled well in the last game, and she will look to do the same with Anesu Mushangwe and Jemma Barsby in the middle overs. McGrath and Georgia Adams add depth to this attack.

Adelaide Strikers Predicted Playing XI:

Tahlia McGrath (c), Katie Mack, Laura Wolvaardt, Bridget Patterson (wk), Madeline Penna, Danielle Gibson, Georgia Adams, Amanda-Jade Wellington, Jemma Barsby, Megan Schutt, Anesu Mushangwe

Adelaide Strikers Actual Playing XI:

Annie O'Neil, Bridget Patterson, Georgia Adams, Katie Mack, Laura Wolvaardt, Danielle Gibson, Tahlia McGrath, Amanda Jade Wellington, Anesu Mushangwe, Jemma Barsby, Megan Schutt

Sydney Sixers Preview

Ellyse Perry's side has its back against the wall. They have won only once in the season and sit at the bottom of the points table. The side went down by 36 runs against the Perth Scorchers Women in the last game. It is a must-win game for them, and Perry would like to see her players bring out the best to win here.  

Ellyse Perry has batted well so far and will look to deliver a good start in this game with Suzie Bates. The middle order has let the side down, and they will need a good show from Ashleigh Gardner, Chole Tryon, and Erin Burns in the middle order to win this game. Maitlan Brown and Kate Pelle must do the heavy lifting in the lower middle order to compete here.   

The bowling attack has looked rusty this year, and they need good spells from Linsey Smith and Lauren Cheatle with the new ball to put the Strikers under pressure. Gardner and Chole Tryon have a lot of experience and must deliver the goods. Maitlan Brown, Erin Burns, and Kate Peterson have a critical role to play.

Sydney Sixers Predicted Playing XI:

Ellyse Perry (c), Suzie Bates, Ashleigh Gardner, Erin Burns, Chloe Tryon, Maitlan Brown, Mathilda Carmichael, Kate Pelle (wk), Linsey Smith, Kate Peterson, Lauren Cheatle

Sydney Sixers Actual Playing XI:

Ashleigh Gardner, Chloe Tryon, Ellyse Perry, Erin Burns, Maitlan Brown, Suzie Bates, Kate Peterson, Lauren Cheatle, Kate Pelle , Mathilda Carmichael, Linsey Smith

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

We expect clear skies over Perth on November 3. Batters will have to get their eyes in before starting to hit out. Batting would be a challenge, and any target over 150 runs would be difficult for the side chasing the score.

ADSW vs SYSW Pitch Report

The pitch at W.A.C.A. Ground Perth has historically assisted the fast bowlers. There is pace and bounce on this surface, which batters have to negotiate in the early overs. Spinners don't have much role on this surface where the ball skids on and doesn't grip the surface.

Toss: To Bowl

It is a fast track, and we expect assistance for the fast bowlers early in the game. The batting conditions shall become better as the game progresses. Both sides would look to make early use of the conditions and will likely put the opposition into bat after winning the toss.
