TEAMS PREVIEW

Brisbane Heat Preview

Jess Jonassen and her players have done well in the tournament. They have won three out of four games and finished at the top of the points table. They defeated the Adelaide Strikers Women in their last game by 6 wickets. As they take on the same team in the Semifinal, Jonassen would expect her players to repeat the last game's performance.   

Georgia Redmayne played a blinder in the last game, and she will look to deliver a good start in this game with Laura Harris. The team will expect a good show from Charli Knott, Jess Jonassen, and Sianna Ginger in the middle order. For the team to win, Nicola Hancock and Lucy Bourke must do well in the lower middle order.  

The bowling attack has looked good this season. Sianna Ginger and Charli Knott will look to strike early and put the Strikers Women on the backfoot. Nicola Hancock and Jess Jonassen must do well in the middle overs and keep the scoring rate under check. Grace Parsons, Lily Bassingthwaighte, and Ruby Strange add options to this attack, making it strong.

Brisbane Heat Predicted Playing XI:

Jess Jonassen (c), Georgia Redmayne (wk), Laura Harris, Charli Knott, Sianna Ginger, Lucy Bourke, Kira Holmes, Grace Parsons, Nicola Hancock, Ruby Strange, Lily Bassingthwaighte

Brisbane Heat Actual Playing XI:

Mikayla Wrigley, Georgia Redmayne, Laura May Harris, Charli Knott, Jess Jonassen, Sianna Ginger, Lucy Bourke , Kira Holmes, Nicola Hancock, Ruby Strange, Lily Bassingthwaighte

Adelaide Strikers Preview

Katie Mack's team has done well in the tournament and finished in the Top 4. The franchise is missing its best players representing the country in the World Cup. The young players have done well. It will be a big challenge for the team, losing to the Brisbane Heat Women earlier. Mack would like her players to play positively in this game.  

Katie Mack and Eleanor Larosa will look to deliver a good start in this contest as they face one of the best bowling attacks. The middle order failed in the last game, and the team needs a good show from Madeline Penna, Ellie Johnston, and Annie O'Neil. Amanda-Jade Wellington and Jemma Barsby will look to do the big-hitting in the lower middle order.  

Courtney Neale and Anesu Mushangwe enjoyed a good run and look forward to striking early in this game. Amanda-Jade Wellington, Eleanor Larosa, and Jemma Barsby have important roles in the middle overs as Brisbane Heat batters are in good form. Madeline Penna adds depth to this attack.

Adelaide Strikers Predicted Playing XI:

Katie Mack (c), Eleanor Larosa, Madeline Penna, Ellie Johnston (wk), Annie O Neil, Amanda-Jade Wellington, Jemma Barsby, Ella Wilson, Courtney Neale, Anesu Mushangwe, Emerson Filsell

Adelaide Strikers Actual Playing XI:

Bridget Patterson, Maggie Clark, Katie Mack, Eleanor Larosa, Maddie Penna, Ellie Johnston, Annie O'Neil, Amanda Jade Wellington, Jemma Barsby, Courtney Neale, Anesu Mushangwe

Weather Conditions

Adelaide will see cloudy skies on October 19. The wicket has been challenging for the batters in the last few matches, with an average first-inning score of just over 110 runs. Setting scores here isn't easy, and the side batting first will be happy to have 140 on the board.

BHW vs ADSW Pitch Report

Cricket Central, Sydney, is a good venue for T20 cricket as it balances it nicely between the batters and the bowlers. The small size of the ground offers plenty of hitting opportunities, but there are good rewards from the surface for the fast bowlers who can seam the ball. There isn't much on this surface for the spinners. 

Toss: To Bowl

In the last five games played at the venue, the side chasing the score has won four times. The wicket is tough at the start and eases as the game progresses. The side winning the toss would look to take advantage of the conditions by bowling first.
