ADSW vs SYDW Match Preview

Adelaide Strikers beat Brisbane Heat in their last encounter to end their unbeaten run in the competition. It was largely due to a bizarre run-out incident sealing the fate of Brisbane. Batting first, Adelaide Strikers scored 148 runs for the loss of 4 wickets. Patterson was the top run-getter for Adelaide with a super 70 that provided all the impetus to the Adelaide inning. The Brisbane team was bowled out for 89 runs thanks to the efforts of Wellington and Schutt who picked up 3 wickets each. Strikers’ bowlers did a splendid job while defending an average score.

The run out of the opposition big hitter Mignon du Preez at the non-striker end as Georgia Volt smashed one delivery straight back at the bowler was the incident that triggered a Brisbane collapse. Before this, the Adelaide inning did not get off to a great start. They lost 3 wickets for 44 runs from 8.1 overs. But after that, Patterson smashed 70 from 53 balls with 2 sixes and 7 fours with Madeline Penna hitting 36 from 29 runs with 4 fours. Some other bowlers were also responsible for the Heat collapse apart from Wellington and Schutt such as Mushangwe, Barsby, and McGrath who picked up a wicket apiece.

The Sydney Sixers team played their last game in the competition against Perth Scorchers. Batting first in this game, Perth scored 166 runs for the loss of 8 wickets. This game was a day-night affair and saw Perth defeating Sydney Sixers by a convincing margin of 36 runs. The pick of the bowlers for Sydney Sixers was Ashleigh Gardner who picked up 3 wickets for 38 runs from 4 overs. Linsey Smith also picked up 2 wickets from 4 overs giving away 20 runs in the process. Lauren Cheatle and Maitlian Brown also picked up one wicket each. Kate Peterson also collected a victim from her one over.

These are the bowlers the Sixers' team will be looking at to do well in this game as well. The Sydney Sixers made a decent start to their chase with the openers contributing 52 runs from 8 overs. But after these openers were dislodged, the rest of the inning was a procession for the Sixers. The Sixers skipper was the top run-getter for Sydney hitting 59 runs from 48 balls with 10 fours. She was involved in a half-century opening wicket partnership together with Suzie Bates who scored 18 runs. The only other batters that looked like scoring runs were Chloe Tryon and Mathilda Carmichael. Sydney will again be looking at these bowlers to get them breakthroughs.
