Adelaide will next take on Brisbane Heat Women at the Great Barrier Reef Arena in Mackay. Brisbane Heat, too, are having a pretty good season and are currently fourth on the table with 10 points. However, they don’t have a great recent record against Adelaide Strikers.

Brisbane Heat Women have had a pretty decent season, with five wins and three losses. They are coming off a 39-run loss against Perth Scorchers Women at the Allan Border Field in Brisbane. Chasing a target of 193, they were bundled out for 153. Only opener Georgia Redmayne (53 off 44 balls) made a notable contribution in the chase. With that effort, Redmayne is now the t second-highest scorer for Brisbane this year, having collected 163 runs in 7 innings at an average of 23.28.
Unfortunately, not many of their batters have stepped up this time. Against a side like Adelaide Strikers, they will need the experienced Grace Harris to play the leading role. She is the top batter for Brisbane this season, with 269 runs in 8 innings at an average of 38.42 and a strike rate of 184.
Brisbane’s bowling largely depends on Courtney Sippel and Jess Jonassen, who have both taken 10 wickets each this season. New ball bowler Nicola Hancock (8 wickets at an average of 27.25) is another bowler worth keeping an eye out for.

Adelaide Strikers Women are on a winning streak and have won their last four matches on the trot. They are coming off a superb six-wicket win against Melbourne Renegades at Karen Rolton Oval, where they chased a target of 149 with one over remaining.
Katie Mack has led their batting unit this year. With 316 runs in 8 innings at an average of almost 40 and a strike rate of 129.50, she is currently the leading run-getter of the season.
Tahlia McGrath (188 runs in 8 innings) and Bridget Patterson (188 runs in 7 innings) have held the middle-order together. We expect some handy contributions from them in this game too.
Adelaide’s bowling has been one of their stronger suits, and this year it has been no different. Leg-spinner Amanda-Jade Wellington tops the bowling charts with 13 scalps to her name at an average of 11.30. Following her closely is the experienced Megan Schutt, who has 12 wickets in 8 innings at an average of 15.66.
Adelaide has a well-rounded bowling attack, and even the likes of Anesu Mushangwe (8 wickets at 20.87) are in wicket-taking form.

The pitch at the Great Barrier Reef Arena in Mackay has proven to be pretty even, proving assistance to the bowlers while also being good for batting. It’s not a high-scoring venue, but you will get to see an even contest between the bat and the ball here. The first six overs in both innings will be crucial, as the new ball can for a few wickets.
The weather in Mackay will be partly sunny and pleasant.
There have been only two women’s T20 matches played at Great Barrier Reef Arena. The highest total posted here is Sydney Sixers Women’s 147/6 against Melbourne Stars Women last season. The average first innings score at the venue is just 136. The team batting first in this game must look to set a target of around 150-160 runs.
The Great Barrier Reef Arena in Mackay is known to favor the chasing side. So the team winning the toss is likely to bowl first here.
Adelaide Strikers Women have a fantastic recent record against Brisbane Heat Women, having beaten them four times in their last five encounters. Moreover, they crushed them by 59 runs when they met earlier this season. Brisbane has a pretty balanced squad, but Adelaide Strikers just look too strong at the moment and are in incredible winning form. Moreover, they have lost two games on the trot, and their confidence will be a little shaken. It will take a special performance to take them down in this form. We reckon Adelaide Strikers should dominate this contest.
