Who will win Hobart Hurricanes vs Sydney Thunder, WBBL 2019?
After rain forced a no result when Hobart Hurricanes and Sydney Thunder were first due to meet in this season’s Women’s Big Bash League, the two teams will return to Burnie’s West Park Oval a day later to try their luck again. The match is scheduled to start at 11:00 local time on November 3.
The forecast does not look good again, but if there is play it will be Sydney Thunder – who had bounced back from their opening defeat to Sydney Sixers by winning their next three games in a row – keen to continue their winning momentum.
Hobart Hurricanes have won two and lost two so far, meanwhile, and so would move level with the Thunder if they were to win this game.

Hobart Hurricanes Women Team News & Playing 11
HBHW Team News
More runs are needed after two back-to-back defeats and the Hurricanes might be looking to tweak their batting order going into the third week.
HBHW Key Players
Heather Knight: The England captain was the stand-out batsman last time out, hitting 61 from 49 balls, including four fours and two sixes.
Nicola Carey: Scored 20 runs and then took a wicket in the Hurricanes’ most recent game to prove her all-round credentials once again, having top-scored with 39 and 60* in the previous two games.
Tayla Vlaeminck: The Aussie pace bowler took 2-18 against Adelaide and added another wicket against Brisbane to continue her good bowling form.
HBHW Team Form
Hobart Hurricanes started WBBL|05 with back-to-back wins against Melbourne Stars in the first week – Maisy Gibson starring with the ball, and Nicola Carey doing likewise with the bat.
Both continued some of that form into the second week, but they could only reach 110/7 in reply to Adelaide Strikers’ 113/8 and then slipped to a five-wicket defeat off the penultimate ball defending a Heather Knight-inspired 123/8 against Brisbane Heat.

Sydney Thunder Women Team News & Playing 11
SYTW Team News
Sydney Thunder’s winning streak continued last time out and they could well stick with their winning line-up to face the Hurricanes.
SYTW Key Players
Alex Blackwell: In excellent batting form, hitting 56, 42*, 21 and a match-winning 45* in her four innings so far.
Shabnim Ismail: Proved her worth with a brilliant spell of 3-14 from four overs in the Thunder’s narrow win against the Melbourne Renegades.
Phoebe Litchfield: An unbeaten half-century in just her second WBBL match showed exactly why Sydney Thunder have put their faith in the 16-year-old this season.
SYTW Team Form
Sydney Thunder lost heavily on the opening night to Sydney Sixers, despite Alex Blackwell’s half-century, but they have bounced back well with three consecutive victories.
Teenager Phoebe Litchfield scored an unbeaten half-century in a seven-wicket win against Brisbane Heat, before Shabnim Ismail’s brilliant 3-14 made the difference as they beat Adelaide Strikers by just three runs.
Last time out, Blackwell’s unbeaten 45 – after Rachel Priest had hit the same score – earned an four-wicket win against Melbourne Stars.
