BHW vs PERW Match Preview
Du Preez scored her first half-century of the season and the team will expect yet another big inning from her. Grace Harris had scored a belligerent century in the reverse fixture and will once again open the batting with Georgia Redmayne. In addition, Brisbane Heat will depend on all-rounders Jess Jonassen and Charli Knott to give them a strong finish with the bat.
Jonassen is also the joint-highest wicket-taker for the team with 10 wickets, while Knott has 7 wickets against her name. The seamers Courtney Sippel and Nicola Hancock have picked up 17 wickets between them.
The Perth Scorchers lost their latest fixture against the Adelaide Strikers in a last-ball thriller. Despite the loss, there will be a couple of positives that the Scorchers will take from that match. Nat Sciver-Brunt, playing her first match of the season, scored a brisk half-century and will be the key player for the team.
The opening pair consists of two quality batters in the form of Sophie Devine and Beth Mooney, giving the Scorchers one of the strongest batting line-ups.
The team has plenty of variety in its seam attack, including Chloe Ainsworth, Sophie Devine, Amy Edgar, and Piepa Cleary. The spin attack will be led by Alana King.
