HBHW vs SYTW Team Previews
Hobart Hurricanes Women
It wasn’t the best of starts for the Hobart Hurricanes as they suffered back-to-back losses at the hands of Perth Scorchers. However, they did manage to turn things around in their latest match by defeating the Adelaide Strikers in a rain-affected match. They are still at the bottom of the points table though given their poor NRR.
The Hurricanes lack the big names in their squad but have many talented players who can guide them to a win in this match. Skipper Elyse Villani is among the top 5 run-getters in the history of WBBL and appears in fine form as she has got good starts in both games she has featured in.
She will open the batting with Lizelle Le, who is struggling a bit at the moment. Naomi Stalenberg will be a key player for the Hurricanes in the middle overs. She has already scored a half-century this season and will look to put up another good performance.
The bowlers haven’t faired much better either as Heather Graham and Molly Strano have picked up 2 wickets each. Shabnim Ismail, who was supposed to be the strike bowler for the team, has managed just 1 wicket so far.

Sydney Thunder Women
The Thunder finished at the bottom of the points table last season as they could manage to win just 1 of the 14 group-stage matches. In a turnaround of sorts, the team has started its latest campaign with a bang, winning both the opening games.
Chamari Athapaththu, who was picked up at the last minute by Thunder, has excelled with the bat as well as the ball and is the top performer for the team in both departments. She scored a brisk half-century in the last match and was instrumental in handing the Thunder its second win of the season.
Athapaththu has been supported well by Tahlia Wilson at the top of the order. The duo put up a 99-run partnership in the previous game. In addition, the team will rely on the services of Phoebe Litchfield, Marizanne Kapp, and Heather Knight in the middle order.
Heather Knight heads the spin department and has picked up 3 wickets, while Ebony Hoskin, Hannah Darlington, and Lauren Bell have picked up 1 wicket each.

Pitch and Conditions
The Aurora Stadium in Launceston offers a good batting surface. The pitch is firm and flat, offering a good amount of pace and bounce. The average first-inning score is around 145. However, as the match progresses, the pitch does get a bit slower and difficult to bat on. The seamers will be able to get some movement from the seam as the ball grips the pitch.
There is a forecast of rain during the day but things should clear out by evening. The temperature will remain below 15 degrees.

Bonus Cricket Bets
Both, Chamari Athapaththu and Tahlia Wilson were in good form during the last match as they scored 99 runs for the opening wicket. On the other hand, the Hurricane hasn’t yet reached its peak form. We are therefore backing Thunder to put up a bigger partnership.
The pitch at Launceston is good to bat on and given the quality of batting on both sides, especially Sydney Thunder, we expect at least one batter to go past 60 in this match.
