Brisbane Heat Women Preview
Brisbane Heat Women enter this fixture in deep trouble, sitting at the bottom of the table and still searching for their first win of the season. Captain Jess Jonassen and her side must stage a turnaround to keep their campaign alive.
Key Concerns
-
Top order inconsistency
-
Lack of wicket-taking penetration

Pressure mounting after multiple defeats
Batting Outlook

Sianna Ginger and Nicola Hancock must control the middle overs
-
Support spells from Knott and de Klerk will be vital
A united bowling effort is essential to halt their losing streak.

They are backed by a powerful middle order:
-

-
Amy Jones
-
Marizanne Kapp
-
Danielle Gibson
This depth allows constant acceleration throughout the innings.
Bowling Strength
The Stars’ bowling unit is well structured:
-
Kim Garth and Marizanne Kapp lead the pace attack
