Sydney Thunder vs Hobart Hurricanes, WBBLT20, Today Match Prediction 27 November 2024

STW vs HHW Match Prediction & Analysis

We have reached the business end of the Women's Big Bash League 2024. The league games are over, and the Sydney Thunder Women will be up against the Hurricanes Women in the Knockout game. The Sydney Thunder Women lost the last league game against the Melbourne Renegades Women, while the Hobart Hurricanes Women defeated the Perth Scorchers Women in their last game. 

The Sydney Thunder Women enjoy a good record at home and have lost only once in Sydney this season. It will increase the team's confidence as they know the conditions well. Hobart Hurricanes Women are a top-heavy batting lineup, and the middle order has struggled. The loser of this game will be out of the tournament, and we expect a tight contest.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Sydney Thunder Preview

Phoebe Litchfield's team received a wake-up call in the last game. They went down by 9 wickets against the Melbourne Renegades Women as their batting lineup and bowlers had a poor day at the office. Litchfield expects to see her team bounce back in this game and move to the next round. 

Chamari Athapaththu and Georgia Voll must do well at the top, as their indifferent form concerns the team. Phoebe Litchfield must steer the middle order and needs to build partnerships with Tahlia Wilson and Georgia Adams. The side will expect quick runs from Sammy-Jo Johnson and Anika Learoyd in the lower middle order.  

Samantha Bates has enjoyed a great run this year and must strike early. Shabnim Ismail must improve her form and do well with the new ball. Taneale Peschel and Chamari Athapaththu's spells in the middle overs can turn the game for the side. Hannah Darlington and Georgia Adams must do well as bowlers.

Sydney Thunder Predicted Playing XI:

Phoebe Litchfield (c), Georgia Voll, Chamari Athapaththu, Tahlia Wilson (wk), Georgia Adams, Anika Learoyd, Sammy-Jo Johnson, Hannah Darlington, Taneale Peschel, Shabnim Ismail, Samantha Bates

Sydney Thunder Actual Playing XI:

Georgia Voll, Chamari Atapattu, Phoebe Litchfield, Tahlia Wilson, Georgia Adams, Anika Learoyd, Sammy Jo Johnson, Hannah Darlington, Taneale Peschel, Shabnim Ismail, Samantha Bates

Hobart Hurricanes Preview

Elyse Villani's team brought out the best when it mattered the most. In a virtual eliminator game against the Perth Scorchers Women, they won by 3 wickets to finish ahead of their opponents on the points table and make it to this round. They enjoy a good record against Sydney Thunder, and Villani would like her players to take inspiration from those wins. 

Lizelle Lee is the team's leading run-scorer this season. She must deliver a good start with Elyse Villani, as Thunder Women have a decent new ball attack. The middle order looks rusty, and the trio of Nicola Carey, Suzie Bates, and Heather Graham must do well. Tabatha Saville and Kathryn Bryce must deliver in the finishers' role. 

The bowling attack hasn't been in the best form. The team needs a good show with the new ball from Molly Strano and Rosemary Mair. Lauren Smith and Nicola Carey did well in the last game and must repeat the same magic. Amy Smith and Kathryn Bryce must deliver a good show in the ing role.

Hobart Hurricanes Predicted Playing XI:

Elyse Villani (c), Lizelle Lee (wk), Nicola Carey, Heather Graham, Suzie Bates, Tabatha Saville, Kathryn Bryce, Molly Strano, Amy Smith, Lauren Smith, Rosemary Mair

Hobart Hurricanes Actual Playing XI:

Ruth Johnston, Lizelle Lee, Heather Graham, Kathryn Bryce, Suzie Bates, Molly Strano, Elyse Villani, Nicola Carey, Amy Smith, Lauren Smith, Rosemary Mair

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Sydney's skies will have odd clouds during this game. We expect the track to be good for batting, and batters can play their strokes freely. The average first-innings score at this venue in the last two years has been 144 runs. The team batting first would aim for 160 runs to feel confident.

STW vs HHW Pitch Report

Drummoyne Oval, Sydney, is a good venue for the batters, and they have enjoyed a good record. The ball comes onto the bat nicely. Fast bowlers also do well on this track, given the bounce and pace they extract from the surface. There isn't much for the spinners at this venue. 

Toss: To Bowl

The team chasing has won four out of the last six games at this venue. The wicket has something for the bowlers early, and the batting conditions are better in the second innings. The side winning the toss would be happy to bowl first and chase the target.
