MATCH PREVIEW
Hobart Hurricanes Women
- Hobart Hurricanes are placed fourth in the points table with two wins and as many losses from four matches.
- Both their wins were against Melbourne Stars.
- Later on, they have faced two defeats in their last two matches, one against Adelaide Strikers and another against Brisbane Heat.
- The opening batter Stefanie Daffara has been dropped from the squad for the clash against Sydney Thunder.
- Daffara, who is going through a poor form after scoring only 14 runs from her four innings this WBBL season, was replaced with experienced pace bowler Brooke Hepburn.
- The team is likely to go with a new opening combination of Erin Fazackerley and Meg Phillips in this match.
Sydney Thunders Women
- Sydney Thunder is placed at the second position on WBBL 2019 points table with three wins from four matches played.
- Initially, they suffered a big 49-run loss in the opening match of the tournament against Sydney Sixers.
- However, Thunder has bounced back strongly after that defeat and has won three fixtures back to back in the tournament.
- They are likely to come up with an unchanged eleven this time as well.
- Rachel Priest and Naomi Stalenberg will continue to open the batting while Rene Farrell and Shabnim Ismail will be leading the Thunder’s bowling attack.
PROBABLE WINNING TEAM:
Thunders, who registered back to back wins with their powerful batting, also have a more than a decent bowling attack which makes them the favorites to win the match.
