TEAMS PREVIEW

Sydney Thunder Preview

Heather Knight's side has done well in the tournament and comes here with a 9-wicket win over the Melbourne Stars. It was a dominating performance from the team, as they batted and bowled well. They don't have a good record against the Brisbane Heat Women, and Knight would like to ride the momentum and change that in this game.  

Chamari Athapaththu and Tahila Wilson have batted well at the top, and the pair will look to deliver a solid start in this game. The middle order has a lot of experience and will look for a good show from Phoebe Litchfield, Knight, and Marizanne Kapp. Anika Learoyd, Olivia Porter, and Claire Moore add depth to this batting line-up, making it strong for the side.  

The bowling attack will be confident after their excellent performance in the previous game. They would like to see early wickets from Marizanne Kapp and Athapaththu. Hannah Darlington and Knight bowled well in the last game and will look forward to continuing with the same form. Samantha Bates and Sammy-Jo Johnson complete a strong attack for the team.

Sydney Thunder Predicted Playing XI:

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

Sydney Thunder Actual Playing XI:

Anika Learoyd, Claire Moore, Heather Knight, Olivia Porter, Phoebe Litchfield, Chamari Atapattu, Marizanne Kapp, Sammy Jo Johnson, Tahlia Wilson, Hannah Darlington, Samantha Bates

Brisbane Heat Preview

Jess Jonassen's side continues to dominate in the season. It was a comfortable 6-wicket win for the side in their last game against the Hobart Hurricanes Women. They bowled well and were clinical in their run chase. The side is one win away from booking a berth in the playoffs, and they will aim for it here.  

Grace Harris is the leading run-getter in the season, and she will look to deliver a positive start in this game with Georgia Redmayne. Amelia Kerr played a match-winning knock in the last game and will look to add runs in the middle order with Mignon du Preez. The side bats deep, and they can expect runs from Georgia Voll, Charli Knott, and Jess Jonassen.  

The bowlers were magnificent in the last game, and the team will need a good show from Nicola Hancock and Charli Knott. Georgia Voll and Jonassen shall look to keep the scoring rate under check in the middle overs. Courtney Sippel and Amelia Kerr add balance to this attack.

Brisbane Heat Predicted Playing XI:

Jess Jonassen (c), Grace Harris, Georgia Redmayne (wk), Amelia Kerr, Mignon du Preez, Charli Knott, Georgia Voll, Bess Heath, Mikayla Hinkley, Nicola Hancock, Courtney Sippel

Brisbane Heat Actual Playing XI:

Georgia Voll, Mignon du Preez, Mikayla Hinkley, Amelia Kerr, Charli Knott, Grace Harris, Bess Heath, Georgia Redmayne, Courtney Sippel, Jess Jonassen, Nicola Hancock

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Weatherman predicts heavy rains for Sydney, and batting conditions will be challenging at the start of the game. The ball would do a lot in the air and off the surface. The side that bats first would be happy to reach 150 in these conditions.

STW vs BHW Pitch Report

North Sydney Oval is a small ground allowing batters to play their strokes in the air without much fear. However, this is a good hunting ground for the fast bowlers as they generate good bounce and pace from the surface early in the game. Spinners have also done well, as they can turn the ball on this track.

Toss: To Bowl

The wicket at this venue is not the best for batting in Australia, as the bowlers have early assistance. The weather conditions would come in the bowlers' aid; thus, we expect the side winning the toss to bowl first in this game.
