TEAMS PREVIEW

Perth Scorchers Preview

Sophie Devine's made a strong statement in the previous game against the Melbourne Renegades. The 10-wicket win would have boosted the confidence in the camp. With a win, they will be eyeing the top spot on the points table. It won't be easy against the Sydney Thunder Women, who are in excellent form, and Devine will expect a strong show from her players.  

Sophie Devine and Beth Mooney looked in good form during their unbeaten 134-run stand in the previous game. The pair will look to deliver a similar start. Maddy Darke, Nat Sciver-Brunt, and Amy Jones add firepower to the middle order, and they will look to do well in this game. The side will expect a good show in the lower middle order from Chloe Piparo, Amy Louise Edgar, and Piepa Cleary.  

Alana King and Taneale Peschel have done well with the new ball, and the pair must grab early wickets to put the side in a comfortable position. Amy Edgar must bowl tight spells in the middle overs with Devine. They will also expect a good show from Piepa Cleary and Lilly Mills in the ing act.  

Perth Scorchers Predicted Playing XI:

Sophie Devine (c), Beth Mooney (wk), Maddy Darke, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Amy Jones, Chloe Piparo, Amy Louise Edgar, Piepa Cleary, Alana King, Lilly Mills, Taneale Peschel

Perth Scorchers Actual Playing XI:

Amy Edgar, Chloe Piparo, Sophie Devine, Amy Jones, Beth Mooney, Maddy Darke, Alana King, Chloe Cathryn Ainsworth, Lilly Mills, Piepa Cleary, Natalie Sciver

Sydney Thunder Preview

Heather Knight's side defeated the Melbourne Stars by four runs in the last game to reclaim the top spot on the points table. It was a dominating performance from their bowlers, who defended a small total with disciplined bowling. They meet a strong side in this contest, and Knight would like to see a good show from her batters after their mediocre performance in the last game.   

Chamari Athapaththu and Tahila Wilson have batted well in this tournament, and the team will expect a good start from them. In the middle order, they have experienced players like Phoebe Litchfield, Knight, and Marizanne Kapp, who will aim to build partnerships. Anika Learoyd, Sammy-Jo Johnson, and Claire Moore add depth to this batting line-up.  

The bowling attack has done well for the team this season, and they will expect early strikes from Marizanne Kapp and Athapaththu. Samantha Bates and Hannah Darlington bowled brilliantly against Melbourne Stars, and they will look to continue with the same form. Knight, Lauren Smith, and Sammy-Jo Johnson complete a strong attack for the team.

Sydney Thunder Predicted Playing XI:

Heather Knight (c), Chamari Athapaththu, Tahlia Wilson (wk), Phoebe Litchfield, Kapp, Anika Learoyd, Claire Moore, Sammy-Jo Johnson, Hannah Darlington, Lauren Smith, Samantha Bates

Sydney Thunder Actual Playing XI:

Anika Learoyd, Claire Moore, Phoebe Litchfield, Chamari Atapattu, Marizanne Kapp, Sammy Jo Johnson, Tahlia Wilson, Hannah Darlington, Lauren Bell, Lauren Smith, Samantha Bates

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

There would be odd clouds over Melbourne but won't make much of a difference in the game. The pitch has been slow and forced errors from the batters. It is a wicket where batters must focus on building partnerships rather than trying to hit out of the park. Any score in the range of 150 runs would be a good total on this surface.

PRSW vs STW Pitch Report

The pitch at Junction Oval, Melbourne, has historically been good for the batters and boasts a good average first-innings score of 143 runs. But fast bowlers have also done well here in the past, given the bounce and pace they extract from the surface. There isn't a must for the spinners at this venue.

Toss: To Bowl

The pitch at this venue has been a tricky one to bat on, and we have seen low-scoring games here. There is reasonable assistance for fast bowlers on the surface, and we expect the side winning the toss to invite the opposition to bat here first and try to restrict the opponents to a low total.
