Adelaide Strikers Women head into the contest on the back of a six-wicket victory over Perth Scorchers Women in their opening game of the T20 Spring Challenge 2026. Chasing a target of 183, Adelaide completed the chase in the final over. Maddie Penna top-scored with an unbeaten 47 off just 22 balls, while Emma de Broughe contributed 40 off 34 balls and Ellie Johnston smashed 34 off 17 balls. Maddie Penna, Eleanor Larosa and Maggie Clark picked up two wickets each to help restrict Perth to 182/8.
Maddie Penna will be one of the key players to watch after her explosive finish in the opening game. She was also among the standout performers in the 2025 T20 Spring Challenge, scoring 229 runs at a strike rate of 121.16. In the 2025 Women's Big Bash League, she scored 187 runs at a strike rate of 111.31. Her ability to accelerate during the middle and death overs could be crucial against Hobart's experienced bowling attack.
Emma de Broughe and Ellie Johnston will also be important to Adelaide's batting plans after making valuable contributions in the previous game. Captain Amanda-Jade Wellington will lead the spin attack and look to control the middle overs. Wellington scored 80 runs at a strike rate of 150.94 and took eight wickets in the 2025 WBBL season. She also scored 53 runs and picked up three wickets in the 2025 Spring Challenge, underlining her all-round value. Adelaide will look for another collective performance to maintain their winning run.

Hobart Hurricanes Women enter the contest on the back of a 27-run victory over ACT Meteors Women in their opening game of the T20 Spring Challenge 2026. Batting first, Hobart posted a modest total of 127 in 20 overs, with Kate Pelle top-scoring with 61 off 55 balls. Ella Hayward contributed 20 runs, while Rachel Trenaman added 16. The Hurricanes then bowled ACT out for 100 in 18.5 overs to seal the victory. Hayley Silver-holmes and Amy Smith claimed three wickets each in the victory.
Molly Strano could be one of Hobart's key players, having finished the 2025 T20 Spring Challenge with 10 wickets in five matches at an economy rate of 5.11. She also claimed 13 wickets in 11 matches in the 2025 Women's Big Bash League, with best figures of 5/16. Her experience and ability to take wickets in the middle overs will be important against Adelaide's batting lineup, which showed its attacking potential in the opening match.
Heather Graham and Ella Hayward will also be important to Hobart's plans. Graham took 16 wickets in 11 matches during the 2025 WBBL season, making her one of the team's leading bowling options. Hayward, meanwhile, contributed 20 runs in the previous game and will be expected to support both departments. Kate Pelle's form at the top of the order will also be crucial, as Hobart look to build a competitive total and maintain pressure on the Strikers.

Score prediction:
If Adelaide Strikers Women bat first - 170-180 runs
If Hobart Hurricanes bat first - 160-170 runs
In the last five women’s T20s on this surface, chasing sides won only two games. So, chasing would be a tough job and it demands good skills. Anything above 150 would be a challenging task to get in the 2nd innings. The surface gets slower in the second innings. Both teams have had earlier success while batting first and they will look to bat first in this fixture as well.
Toss Prediction: Adelaide Strikers Women to win the coin toss.
Adelaide Strikers Women enter this contest as the favourites to win this match. They have included experienced players in the squad who have done a really good job. They are also coming off a solid run-chase in the opening game. Hobart’s bowling is their main strength but you can’t sustain with a poor batting lineup. This is also a crucial match for both teams as both teams would eye a winning momentum in the competition.
Adelaide Strikers Women to win.
