Sydney Thunder Women have had their share of ups and downs in the matches played so far this season. The Rachel Haynes-led side has won four of eight matches, losing on three occasions, and a solitary contest being abandoned due to rain. They are currently seated at the fifth spot in the points tally and a victory over Sixers would place them at the apex with 11 points under their belt. Alex Blackwell has been the lone-warrior in the batting lineup with 225 runs in 7 innings at an average and strike rate of 45.00 and 117.18 respectively.

The likes of Rachel Priest and Naomi Stalenberg haven’t fired so far, and it is high time they start performing on the occasion. Tahlia Wilson is another fine prospect who would be hoped to don the role of a match-winner in case the top-order collapses. Bowling wise, the team has performed exceedingly well with the quartet of Shabnim Ismail, Nida Dar, Hannah Darlington, and Rene Farell picking 32 wickets in total in the ongoing edition of WBBL.

Sydney Sixers Women Preview

Ellyse Perry and Alyssa Healy have been hitting the ball pretty decently and would hold pivotal positions for the Sixers in the forthcoming game against the Thunders. Not just the openers, Sixers’ middle-order looks solid as well, with Ashleigh Gardner and Erin Burns scoring a bulk of runs in the matches played this season.

All-rounders Dane van Niekerk and Marizanne Kapp have been fruitful so far and would be backed to continue with their match-winning exhibitions in the upcoming games as well. In the bowling department, Sarah Aley has been quite economical in WBBL 2019, and along with spinner Erin Burns could be a game-changer for the Sixers at Drummoyne Oval.
