We are into the 24th game of the Women’s Big Bash League 2021 and Brisbane Heat Women would be looking to continue with their dominance as they take on Hobart Hurricanes Women.

Georgia Redmayne and Grace Harris are in great form and the side would like to see a strong opening wicket partnership from them. Mikayla Hinkley did well in the middle order in the last game and shall aim to set up partnerships with Georgia Voll and Jess Jonassen.

Their bowling attack is looking good with Courtney Sippel and Georgia Prestwidge bowling tight spells with the new ball. Jonassen is an experienced bowler and has done well so far in the season. With Poonam Yadav, Harris, and Bosch rolling their arms the side has the right bowling combination going into this game.

Hobart Hurricanes Women Preview

Rachel Priest would be happy with the show her side put up in the last game against the Melbourne Stars winning the game by 6 wickets. They would have a tough challenge in this game against the table-toppers and Priest would like to see a good show from her girls. A win here would put them in a comfortable position on the points table. 

The side would need a good start from Priest and Ruth Johnston with the latter having been inconsistent so far in the season. Their middle order has good players and the trio of Mignon du Preez, Richa Ghosh, and Nicola Carey look in good form. In Naomi Stalenberg, Sasha Moloney and Molly Strano they have good players down the order and runs would be expected from their bat. 

Ruth Johnston and Tayla Vlaeminck look in good form with the ball and they would have to strike early against Heat’s strong batting line-up. Molly Strano needs to bowl better lines as she has leaked runs. In Chloe Rafferty, Carey, and Amy Smith the side has good variety with the ball up its sleeves.

Hobart Hurricanes Women Predicted Playing XI:

Rachel Priest (c & wk), Ruth Johnston, Mignon du Preez, Richa Ghosh, Naomi Stalenberg, Nicola Carey, Sasha Moloney, Molly Strano, Tayla Vlaeminck, Amy Smith, Chloe Rafferty

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Launceston would see cloudy skies on October 30 and the batting conditions are expected to be difficult here during the game. Batters shall have to play to the demands of the match and be choosy with their strokes. The side batting first would be happy with a score of 150 or more on this wicket.

Venue Details

Aurora Stadium, Launceston is a small park and batters have always scored runs thanks to the shorter square boundaries. There is grass on the surface and fast bowlers have also enjoyed the conditions here in the past. It is a difficult venue for the spinners as there isn’t any assistance for them from the surface.

Toss: To Bowl

Most sides have preferred to chase here as batting conditions ease in the second half of the game. Batting first is always a challenge as bowlers get good assistance on a fresh wicket. The two captains would have this in their minds at the toss and one winning it should have little hesitation in bowling first.
