Perth Scorchers Women Preview

Sophie Devine's side would be pressing for a win against the Adelaide Strikers Women in the next game. The defending champions had to share points with Hobart Hurricanes Women in the last game after rain played spoilsport. Their opponents come into this game with a big win. Devine shall expect a spirited performance from her players in this contest.  

Sophie Devine and Beth Mooney have shown good form this season, and they must deliver a good start here. In the middle order, the side would expect runs from the bats of Chloe Piparo, Maddy Green, and Marizanne Kapp. The side has depth in its batting, and they'd expect runs from Mathilda Carmichael, Amy Louise Edgar, and Piepa Cleary.  

Marizanne Kapp and Holly Ferling form a solid new ball pair and they will have to make early inroads into Strikers' batting line-up. Devine needs to lead this attack from the front and the team would have lots of expecttions from her. Alana King, Cleary, and Lilly Mills must picth in with good performances in the middle overs.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The skies over Brisbane will have thick cloud cover on October 28, and there is a prediction for rain. Batting conditions shall be difficult, and batters must get used to the conditions to score runs. The side that bats first in the game shall be happy to have a score of 145 runs on the board.

Venue Details

The wicket at Allan Border Field, Brisbane, is showing slowness this season, and batters have struggled to time the ball here, which is otherwise a venue for big scores. Fast bowlers have done well here in the past, and spinners have also enjoyed success as the odd ball tends to turn and grip here.

Toss: To Bowl

The pitch offers a lot for the bowlers in the first half as there is juice underneath, and the conditions become better to bat as the game progresses. Also, there are predictions for rain during the game, which will help the side batting second. Hence we believe the captains shouldn't hesitate to bowl first here.
