Perth Scorchers Women
- Perth Scorchers have not made any changes to their side since the last three matches, and they could again go in with an unchanged procedure.
- Captain Meg Lanning opened the innings alongside Amy Ellen Jones last time against Brisbane Heat and the same opening combination is likely to be seen in the upcoming Wednesday’s match.
- Nicole Bolton, Heather Graham, and Chloe Piparo will form Perth’s middle-order batting. Natalie Sciver will probably lead the bowling attack and off-spinner Nicole Bolton could be her new-ball partner again.
- With ten points in the bag, Perth Scorchers are positioned fifth on the WBBL 2019 points table having won five and lost four out of the nine matches they have played so far this season.
- It seemed they were beginning to find form and consistency with three wins on the bounce against Adelaide Strikers and twice against Sydney Thunder.
- But a big eight-wicket defeat in the last game against Brisbane Heat has made them lose all their momentum.
