BHW vs SYDW Match Preview
If you look at the batting form of these two sides, any score over 175 runs will be a good total to defend at this venue. Some good batters are present in the Brisbane line-up who can take their team to a good competitive score. Bess Heath and Georgia Redmayne scored a fifty each when Brisbane succeeded in winning a game at this venue. But they lost a close game after that while chasing a score of 170 runs. Grace Harris was in top form and hit 65 runs in 36 balls at the top of their batting order.
The key batters for Brisbane Heat Women are Bess Heath and Georgia Redmayne. These batters contributed with their fifties when BRH won a game at this venue. Some other significant batters in the Brisbane middle order are Mignon du Preez and Amelia Kerr. The key bowler for Brisbane Heat Women is Jonassen. She picked up 4 wickets for 20 runs in their last victory for the Heat. Brisbane was successful in defending 184 runs at this venue. Amelia Kerr has been their consistent bowler. There is variety in this bowling attack and Nicola Hancock will be looking to get early breakthroughs.
The Sydney Sixers skipper Ellyse Perry will have to look for new avenues to get her side back in form with the bat. The captain will be required to lead from the front. But she is in good nick now and will enjoy the batting-friendly conditions on offer at this venue. The batting form of Chloe Tryon and Erin Burns will be crucial to the team of Sydney Sixers Women. These players are capable of building partnerships for their teams. But, all-in-all the Sydney Sixers batting line-up appears to in a bit of a bother at the moment.
The Sydney Sixers team management has been changing the positions of their batters often. This might not be the correct strategy for bringing their batters back in some sort of form. Maitlan Brown who opened the batting earlier was relegated to the number 7 position in the last match. These are the batters to look out for in this game. The Sydney skipper Elysse Perry has been dependable with the ball as well. Linsey Smith, Chloe Tryon, and Lauren Cheatle are the other key bowlers for Sydney Thunder Women.
Weather Report
We are likely to get some showers during this game in Brisbane. This surface has a lot that can be offered to the batters. You can usually expect the ball to come onto the bat nicely. However, due to the overcast conditions, the faster bowlers might get some lateral movement from the track, especially with the new ball.
Pitch Report
We have seen some decent totals scored at this venue in WBBL so far. Any score above 160 runs is likely to be competitive. It might be a good idea to field a couple of spinners here in Brisbane. The captains can even consider opening the bowling with one of them. This is because the surface would have worn due to a lot of cricket being played on it.
