Brisbane Heat Women Team News & Playing 11
BRHW Team News
Brisbane Heat have fielded the same XI for both games so far and, despite defeat last time out, they may keep the faith again. Only Georgia Prestwidge has failed to make her mark in either game so far.
BRHW Key Players
Beth Mooney: Arrived at this tournament on the back of her excellent form for Australia, and opened with a half-century against the Sixers and 35 against the Thunder to prove she is still in great batting touch.
Jess Jonassen: Australia’s spin-bowling all-rounder took 2-12 to help bowl Brisbane to victory in the opening game, while it was her batting which impressed last time out – scoring 42
Amelia Kerr: Just turned 19, the New Zealand leggie continues to impress at all levels. She took 3-8 in the opening game, having previously taken six wickets in the IPL Women’s T20 Challenge series in her most recent T20 franchise outing.
BRHW Team Form
Brisbane Heat started their WBBL title defence with a big win against Sydney Sixers. After Beth Mooney’s half-century helped them to 165/6, Amelia Kerr took 3-8 and Jess Jonassen, Sammy-Jo Johnson and Grace Harris all took two wickets apiece to bowl the Sixers out for 73.
They lost last time out, however. After posting 150/9 against Sydney Thunder, they could not prevent a seven-wicket defeat with seven balls remaining.

Perth Scorchers Women Team News & Playing 11
PRSW Team News
Perth Scorchers may need a re-think after losing their opening game. All-rounder Kim Garth did not bat, but the Irish ace has been in good bowling form more recently anyway and did open the bowling. Chloe Piparo played no part in the game, however, and with Garth among the middle-order batting options, it may be worth turning to Kath Hempenstall as an extra bowling option instead.
PRSW Key Players
Meg Lanning: The captain fell cheaply last time out, but her form last year – scoring five half-centuries in nine matches – shows exactly what she can bring with the bat at the top of the order.
Amy Jones: The England wicket-keeper-batsman hit 44 from 37 balls in a useful partnership with Sciver, picking up where she left off the last time she batted for the Scorchers.
Heather Graham: Wicketless in the opening game, but her tidy 0-26 from four overs kept the pressure on. She was the leading wicket-taker in WBBL|04, with 22 in 14 matches for the Scorchers.
PRSW Team Form
Perth Scorchers were the final team to get their WBBL|05 campaign underway, but they could not open with a win. Amy Jones (44) and Nat Sciver (55*) shared a 76-run partnership but the Scorchers could only post 132/5. In reply, Piepa Cleary and Jemma Barsby took two wickets apiece but could not prevent a four-wicket defeat.
