It is the first leg of the league games in Women's Big Bash League 2024, and the Hobart Hurricanes Women would be up against Sydney Thunder Women in the 4th game. It will be the first game for both teams, and they are looking forward to making a good start. The Hurricanes exited in the first-round last season, while the Sydney Thunder Women lost in the Eliminator and aim to start the tournament positively.
The Hobart Hurricanes Women have been one of the most inconsistent teams in the tournament. The batting lineup looks weak for the team with new players coming in, and it remains to be seen if they can do well. The Sydney Thunder Women have more balance in their team. It is the season opener for both teams, and we expect a close contest.

Elyse Villani's team struggled last year and exited in the first round. The last few seasons have been bad for the team as they have become the perennial bottom hunters in the points table. Villani would hope for a better show from her players. A good start is crucial, and she would like her team to draw inspiration from their good record against the Sydney Thunder Women.
They have an experienced opening pair in Elyse Villani and Lizelle Lee. The duo will look to lay a strong platform in the game. Nicola Carey, Heather Graham, and Suzie Bates make the middle order formidable and will look to do well in the game. Ruth Johnston, Hayley Silver-Holmes, and Chole Tryon add depth to the lineup and must do well.
The bowling attack is strong for the team, and they will need early wickets from Lauren Smith and Molly Strano. Nicola Carey and Hayley Silver-Holmes must bowl tight lines in the middle overs to put the opposition under pressure. The side will also like a good show from Chole Tryon and Amy Smith in the ing role.

Tahlia Wilson is the side's captain this season, replacing Heather Knight. Last year, the team made it to the Eliminator but had a poor outing against Brisbane Heat Women. They have a poor record against the Hobart Hurricanes Women, and Wilson would like to turn that in with a good show at their season opener.
Tahlia Wilson will look to lead from the front. She must deliver a good start in this game with her partner, Chamari Athapaththu. Heather Knight has a lot of experience and must build partnerships with Phoebe Litchfield and Georgia Voll in the middle order. The side will need Anika Learoyd, Saskia Horley, and Sammy-Jo Johnson to make quick runs in the lower middle order.
Samantha Bates and Shabnim Ismail must get the early breakthroughs to put the team in a strong position in this game. Hannah Darlington and Sammy-Jo Johnson have an important role in the middle overs and keep the run rate under control. Chamari Athapaththu and Horley add depth to the attack.
Phoebe Litchfield has been in top notch form and she was instrumental in Australia reaching the semi's in the T20 World Cup. Given her recent form and consistency, we back Litchfield to score good in today's match and score over 22.5 runs on her captaincy debut.

Hobart will have overcast skies, making the conditions favorable for the bowlers. Batters would find the conditions challenging during the game, and they would need to play to the merit of the ball. The average first-innings score here is 149 runs, and the first side to bat will need 160 on the board.
Bellerive Oval, Hobart, is a small ground. The short square boundaries offer lots of scoring opportunities to the batters. The wicket offers early assistance to the fast bowlers, who have done well here. There is little on this surface for the spinners, who have gone for runs in most games.
The pitch at Bellerive Oval is a balanced track and the average scores per innings have been around the 145-155 run mark in the WBBL.Both teams boast a strong batting lineup and we predict the Total match score to be over 284.5 runs.
We are likely to see overcast skies. The side chasing the score would have an advantage in such a scenario. Hence, the side winning the toss in this game should have little hesitation in bowling first.
Hobart Hurricanes Women have struggled with their consistency in the last few seasons. They have made poor starts and failed to recover. The batters must do well in this contest, facing a strong bowling attack. Sydney Thunder Women have the right balance in their batting and bowling. We expect a close game, but the Sydney Thunder Women will have an edge.
