Georgia Voll and Chamari Athapaththu have put up partnerships of at least 34 runs in each of their last 2 outings, while the opening pair of Brisbane has managed to cross the 20-run mark just once in their previous 3 innings. Therefore, Sydney is more likely to put up the bigger opening stand.
Samantha Bates is the leading wicket-taker for her team with 8 wickets. She was the best bowler from Sydney in 2 of their last 3 games. Seeing her form, we are backing her to bowl another good spell.
Brisbane Heat W to win 1.826
Brisbane Heat will look to get back to winning ways as it faces Sydney Thunder in the ongoing WBBL season. The two teams will clash at the WACA Stadium in Perth on Thursday.
The two teams have faced each other in 22 matches to date. Brisbane is the dominant side with 13 wins while Sydney Thunder has managed to win 9.
This match will be live-streamed on the Disney+ Hotstar App. One can also watch this match live on the Star Sports Network.
After losing its opening fixture against Hobart, Sydney has bounced back, winning two games on the trot and is right now at the top of the points table, thanks to an excellent NRR.
While Chamari Athapaththu hasn’t been in the best of forms yet, her opening partner Georgia Voll has played well so far and is the leading run-scorer for her team with 115 runs. Captain Phoebe Litchfield has also played a couple of good knocks and is an important part of the middle order.
With players like Tahlia Wilson, Heather Knight, Sammy Jo-Johnson, and Anika Learoyd coming lower down, there is plenty of depth in Thunder’s batting. Coming to the bowling, Samantha Bates has bowled brilliantly to pick up 8 wickets, while the other spinner, Athapaththu, has picked up 4.
The two seamers, Shabnim Ismail and Hannah Darlington have picked up 4 wickets each.
Brisbane Heat is coming into this contest on the back of consecutive losses and has dropped down to the 4th place on the table.
Barring Grace Harris, none of the batters have been able to make much of an impact on the opposition bowlers. Harris has scored an aggregate of 124 runs in her 4 innings so far. The likes of Jemimah Rodrigues, Jess Jonassen, and Georgia Redmayne have got some good starts but have been unable to convert them into big knocks.
One of the biggest strengths for Brisbane is the long list of all-rounders in the team but they will need a couple of them to stand up and play well during the death if they want to turn things around.
The bowling has been inconsistent as well. Shikha Pandey and Nicola Hancock have picked up 5 wickets each while Grace Parsons, who leads the spin attack, has picked up 4.
The team winning the toss will likely opt to bat first.
The pitch at Perth traditionally favors the quicker bowlers and there is plenty of swing and bounce on offer. While the batters will be able to score runs during the first half, the surface slows down as the match progresses, making life difficult for them. A score of around 140 is a par score on this ground.
The weather is likely to be clear with temperatures of around 20 degrees.
While Brisbane Heat hasn’t been in the best of forms in its last two outings, we expect them to bounce back here. The team has a strong batting line-up and a well-balanced bowling attack that gives them an edge. However, we also expect Sydney to give them a good fight.
Bet on Brisbane Heat W to win.
