Bet NowWBBL is almost nearing the half-way mark and teams are fighting it hard with only two teams separating the 6 teams in the middle of the points table. Brisbane Heat are currently at the top spot after winning their last 4 completed matches and their only loss in this season came in a super over contest against Perth Scorchers. Melbourne Stars have a roller coaster ride so far with wins and losses and will look to stabilize their run of form with a victory. They come into this match after losing their last 2 games on a trot. We expect a tough contest between these two teams for the crucial 2 points on offer.
Brisbane Heat posted a massive total of 170 runs in the last game with their opening duo of Georgia Redmayne (64 runs) and Grace Harris (75 runs) doing most of the damage at the top with 140-run opening partnership. Laura Kimmince, Georgia Voll, Anna Bosch, and Jess Jonassen will form the core of the middle order batting.
Their bowling unit performed well and held their nerve during the crucial moments to win the match by 14 runs. The trio of Nicola Hancock, Grace Sippel, and Jess Jonassen had combined bowling figures of 12-0-83-8 in the match. Anne Bosch too chipped in with a wicket and a couple of quiet overs.
Top players to bet on:
Grace Harris – Harris was in red hot form last game scoring 75 runs off 51 balls with 6 boundaries and 2 sixes. She can also contribute some vital overs in the middle phase of the game.
Jess Jonassen –Jonassen bowled superbly after the good start by the pace duo and took 3 wickets in the middle overs. She will be a big player for their team in this match in the bowling and batting departments.

Melbourne Stars failed to chase down the total of 134 runs last night. Ellyse Villani fought hard at one end with 38 runs off 31 balls with Tess Flintoff (17 runs) and Maia Boucher (20 runs) providing a little support. Their batting line-up did not build partnerships and ended with score of 114/8 in the 20 overs.
Kim Garth and Erin Osbourne opened the bowling and maintained the scoring pressure on the opposition and claimed 3 wickets between them. Annabel Sutherland and Smith bowled economically and had combined figures of 7-1-37-0 in the match.
Top players to bet on:
Ellyse Villani – Villani has scores of 52, 35, & 38 in the last 3 matches and is playing good knocks at the top. She will expect some support from other end so that her team could post a good total on board.
Kim Garth – Garth has 9 wickets at an economy rate of less than 6 RPO in the matches played so far. We expect her to continue her rich vein of form and pick more wickets.

Launceston will have bright and sunny weather with no rain expected on the match day. We expect a full match with 40 overs of non-stop action.
Launceston pitch has eased out as the tournament progressed but it gets slightly tougher to bat as the match progresses. Last night scores dipped as 170, 156, 133, 114 in the four innings played. We expect the teams to score in the range of 120-130 runs as this is the second match played here.
Teams batting first won both the matches played here yesterday and this is the second match of the day so we expect both teams to bat first if they win the toss.
Brisbane Heat has one of the strongest opening duo of the tournament and their middle order is slightly untested so far. They have a quality bowling attack with a number of bowling options available. Melbourne Stars batting line-up is struggling at the moment with Ellyse Villani being a lone warrior. Their bowling looks in better shape with good mix of pace and spin bowlers. We expect Brisbane heat to win this match and continue their reign at the top of the table.
Brisbane Heat will win this match.
