Grace Harris is the leading run-scorer for Brisbane with 243 runs scored at an average of 30.37. She has scored at least 21 runs in 5 of her 8 innings and we are backing her to do so again.
The Melbourne Stars’ batting has been underwhelming throughout this season. The opening batters in particular have struggled and the team is yet to find the right combination. On the other hand, Grace Harris and Georgia Redmayne make up a good pair and we expect them to give Brisbane a strong start.
Brisbane Heat will look to get itself in the top two spots of the points table as it faces the Melbourne Stars for the second time this season. The match will be played at the Allan Border Field in Brisbane.
The two teams have faced each other in 17 matches to date. Brisbane Heat won 10 while the Stars managed to win 7.
This match will be live-streamed on the Disney+ Hotstar App. One can also watch it live on the Star Sports Network.
After a slight dip in form earlier in the season, Brisbane Heat has recovered smartly and is coming into this contest on the back of 3 consecutive wins. It has now climbed up to the 3rd place on the table and is on track to qualify for the playoffs.
Grace Harris is pretty consistent at the top of the order and is the team’s leading run-scorer. She has an average of 30.37. Georgia Redmayne will join her at the top of the order. Jemimah Rodrigues seems to be peaking in form just at the right time and has scored 40+ runs in 2 of her last 3 outings.
The others in the middle order include Laura Harris, Charli Knott, and Jess Jonassen. Jonassen has proved to be an excellent all-rounder so far, scoring 135 runs and picking up 8 wickets. She will be joined by Grace Parsons in the spin attack.
Shikha Pandey is the leading wicket-taker of the team with 11 wickets while Nicola Hancock has 8 against her name.
The Melbourne Stars have struggled throughout this season. They have managed to win only 2 of their 8 matches and are placed at the bottom of the points table.
The team has tried quite a few opening combinations over the course of this season but has failed to get a good start so far. Sophie Reid did look promising in the previous match but was unable to convert her start into a big knock.
The biggest disappointment comes from the performance of Marizanne Kapp, Deepti Sharma, and Annabel Sutherland. They are all seasoned T20 players but haven’t had much impact with the bat. Meg Lanning and Yastika Bhatia have played a couple of decent knocks but that hasn’t had much of an impact on the team’s fortunes.
Coming to the bowling, the seamers have done a decent job, with Kim Garth, Annabel Sutherland, and Kapp picking up 25 wickets between them. The spin department seems a bit weak with only Sophie Day picking up more than 2 wickets.
The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.
The pitch at the Allan Border Field is flat and offers good pace and bounce. While the quicker bowlers will get some help with the new ball, the batsmen will have the upper hand as the match progresses. The team batting first will look to score at least 160 runs. The spinners will get wickets if they bowl a good line and length.
Melbourne Stars have struggled throughout the season and will struggle to bounce back against such a strong opposition. Heat has a stronger batting lineup and form on its side. Back the favorites in this contest.
Bet on the Brisbane Heat W to win.
