BHW vs HBHW Match Preview
For Brisbane Heat Women, opener Georgia Redmayne has been in sublime form this season and is the top scorer for Brisbane as well as in the League, with 333 runs. However, she suffered a hamstring injury in the last match, and updates on her health are awaited. Grace Harris is solid in the middle order and has a couple of half-centuries against her name. Georgia Voll and Amelia Kerr have lent good support to the team.
Kerr has been a handy all-rounder, picking up 14 wickets, while scoring an aggregate of 173 runs.

Graham has contributed well with the bat as well as the ball and is the top scorer for the team. Strano has picked up 14 wickets and is quite effective with her off breaks. Much was expected of captain Elyse Villani, but she hasn’t been in the best of forms this season.

Dream11 Prediction
Brisbane Heat should win this game comfortably. The team is in good form and has plenty of good players who can turn the match around. While the Hurricanes have played well off late, they are no match to the consistent form of the Brisbane Heat.
Top Picks
Molly Strano: Despite being one of the older players in the league, veteran Molly Strano has gotten only better with age. She has been one of the most consistent performers over the years and has proved to be a reliable asset for the Hurricanes.
Heather Graham: Graham has hugely contributed to the Hurricanes’ success this season. While scoring crucial runs lower down the order, she has picked up some important wickets in the matches so far.
Amelia Kerr: Another all-rounder, but this time from the Brisbane camp, Amelia has been indispensable for her team. She has picked 14 wickets with a decent economy rate of just over 6 runs per over.
