Tournament: WOMENS BIG BASH LEAGUE 2021 | Format: T20 | Venue: Aurora Stadium, Launceston, Australia | Toss: To Bowl
Bet NowThe Women’s Big Bash League 2021 is entering its most crucial phase, and this is where Sydney Thunder Women find themselves in deep trouble as they take on Melbourne Renegades Women. Sydney Thunder went down against Melbourne Stars Women in the last game after a miserable show while Melbourne Renegades defeated Sydney Sixers Women convincingly.
It has been a miserable tournament so far for the Sydney Thunder Women. They have lost all the games and haven’t been able to stand up to the challenge. One more loss would dent all their hopes of making it to the next round. With Renegades in good form, it remains to be seen if Sydney Thunder Women can beat them and stay alive in the tournament.
It has been a no-show so far from Hannah Darlington’s side. They have lost three games and seen another abandoned due to rain and sit at the bottom of the points table. They went down by 12 runs against Melbourne Stars Women in their last game failing to chase mere 109 runs. This is their last opportunity to stay alive in the competition and Darlington would want the side to show its character.
Openers Tahlia Wilson and Smriti Mandhana have had an extended spell of poor form and they would need to fire here. The side would also need runs from the bat of Phoebe Litchfield, Corinne Hall, and Anika Learoyd in the middle order as they have been inconsistent. Down the order, Deepti Sharma and Darlington would be expected to do the hitting for the side.
On the bowling front, the side did well in the last game with Samantha Bates putting up a splendid show. She would have to deliver early blows along with Isabelle Wong. Sharma and Darlington are experienced bowlers, and the side would need the best of them here. Lauren Smith and Kate Peterson will have to play an important role as Renegades do have a strong batting line-up.

Sophie Molineux’s side put up a brilliant show in the last game against Sydney Sixers Women to win it by 7 wickets, their second win of the season. They are 4th on the points table at the moment and would be aiming to move to the second spot with a win in this game. The side boasts of a powerful batting line-up and shall be confident about its prospects here.
Evelyn Jones and Jemimah Rodrigues have batted brilliantly so far, and the side would like to see another good start from them. In the middle order Courtney Webb, Harmanpreet Kaur, and Jess Duffin have done well, and the side would like to see runs from them. They bat deep with Sophie Molineux, Josephine Dooley, and Carly Leeson to follow with the bat.
Sophie Molineux and Kaur have done well with the new ball, and they would aim to strike early against Thunder’s struggling batting line-up. Ella Hayward has bowled good lines in the tournament and shall look to repeat her good show. Ellie Falconer, Carly Leeson, and Webb add to the bowling options for the side.

Launceston would see partly cloudy skies on October 27, and this is likely to make batting a challenge at the start of the game. Batters would need to get their shot selection right in the game. The side batting first would be happy to near a score of 150 runs on this track.
Aurora Stadium, Launceston is a small venue and hence we have seen batters score boundaries easily in comparison to other venues. There is early assistance for fast bowlers at this venue. Spinners find the conditions tough here as the small size of the park offers them little margin for error.
Most sides have preferred to bowl upon winning the toss here as the conditions have been difficult at the start of the game. Batting conditions become better as the game progresses and hence we believe the side winning the toss would have little hesitation in bowling first here.
Sydney Thunder Women would have a tough challenge on hand. They haven’t been in the best of their form with the bat and need to deliver against a very good bowling attack. It would be a test of their character in this game. The Melbourne Renegades Women are looking in good form and they have a batting line-up that has been dominating the opposition. This would make them favorites to win in this game.
