MATCH PREVIEW
Melbourne Renegades Women
- Melbourne Renegades have lost all their last 3 matches.
- In the last match, Danni Wyatt played a brilliant inning of 74* from 51 balls. But the rain reduced the total play to 15 overs, and so they posted a total of just 134/1.
- After a few showers, Scorchers got a target of 72 runs to win in just 7 overs, but they chased it down with eight wickets in hand.
- They were less unlucky last time out. A score of120/8 against Sydney Sixers at the WACA always looked below par, so it proved that their four-wicket defeat was only sealed with one ball to spare.
Hobart Hurricanes Women
- Hobart Hurricanes are in a bad form, they have lost their last three matches in a row.
- They have not been winning since their back-to-back victories against the Melbourne Stars at the start of the tournament.
- Batting form of Hurricanes key player, Heather Knight, has not helped the team.
- Though Heather scored an unbeaten 61, the team could put on only 123/8 against Brisbane Heat and lost the match by two wickets with a ball to spare.
- Heather scored 77 in a total of 148/6 against Sydney Thunder but the team suffered a six-wicket defeat.
PROBABLE WINNING TEAM:
Both the teams are in bad form right now, but Hobart Hurricanes are better equipped in all the departments and have a slight edge over Melbourne Renegades.
