It’s Sydney vs Brisbane again in the T20 Spring Challenge at North Sydney Oval in Sydney. After Sydney Thunder’s flunked attempt at dismantling Brisbane Heat in front of a home crowd, Sydney Sixers are all set to face off against the team from Queensland to try their luck and see if they can defeat them.
Brisbane Heat women were outstanding with both bat and ball in hand in the first match, and picked up a decisive victory thanks to Laura Harris lighting up the North Sydney Oval with a cracking century.
Sydney Sixers women let ACT meteors score a few runs too many and succumbed to a defeat by a margin of 13 runs. Can the girls in magenta avenge the girls in teal for what they did to their downtown neighbours in the first match? Historically, Brisbane Heat women have had a slight upper hand, winning 11 out of 19 encounters between the teams.

Sydney Sixers women stuttered in pursuit of 173 runs against ACT Meteors, eventually coming up short by 13 runs.
Kate Pelle was a bit rusty but still helped herself to a fifty at less than run a ball. Skipper Mathilda Carmichael showed some real intent and put away five boundary balls in her 15-ball stint, but she perished sooner than she would have liked. Erin Burns made a handy 36 but the Sixers innings never got out of the second gear. They were always playing catch-up to the rising asking rate, and were behind the game for most of the chase.
Earlier Caoimhe Bray, the 15-year-old Australia A star who impressed with both bat and ball in the recent tri-series against New Zealand and Sri Lanka, made her first appearance in magenta count with a lovely spell of pace bowling in which she picked two wickets. Erin Burns assisted well by keeping things tight in the middle and picking up the opposition opener Alisha Bates for 24.
The rest of the bowling group struggled to make regular breakthroughs, especially Kate Peterson and Frankie Nicklin who between them leaked 50 runs in five overs.

The Brisbane Heat women head into their second clash of the season after Laura Harris blasted a 102*(46) to romp home to victory against Sydney Thunder women in North Sydney. Just when the Sydney team looked like they had enough runs on the board, Harris ventured out into the middle and cracked her first T20 century to take everyone by surprise.
She got off the mark with a six and went on to score two more maximums and a couple of boundaries in her next ten balls to give the chase a lift-off. The 83-run partnership she had with Georgia Redmayne in the powerplay made all the difference, and they knocked down the rest of the target quickly, wrapping up the chase in the thirteenth over. Earlier, Charli Knott bowled economically and picked up a couple of wickets.
The all-rounder was ably ed by Nicola Hancock and Lucy Hamilton who ended their respective spells with two wickets apiece. This is Brisbane Heat’s first ever victory against Sydney Sixers on this ground, and they’ll be itching to have a go at the other Sydney-based franchise, with both their bowlers and batters in good form.

The pitch clearly assisted batting over bowling on the opening day. It became much easier to bat on as the match progressed, as most bowlers found out. Any score above 160 should be slightly above par, and surmounting it could turn out to be a difficult proposition unless the chasing team gets stuck to it. The weather forecast for the game is clear and we should get a complete game, which is encouraging.
The match will be held at the North Sydney Oval in Sydney Australia, where Brisbane Heat have dominated Sydney Sixers and went on to pick up a win on four out of five occasions.
Brisbane Heat, having cruised to an easy victory in the opener whilst chasing, would obviously prefer batting second. Sydney Sixers would not be pleased with their decision to chase backfiring and might not fuss over being sent in to bat first.
Among these two teams, Brisbane Heat women looked more professional and ruthless in the first match with both bat and ball. They stuck to their plans and executed their skills to perfection, making short work of a slightly tricky chase. They’re on a roll and good luck to Sydney Sixers stopping them.
