After losing their opening two matches in this year’s WBBL by comfortable margins, Hobart Hurricanes Women got their first win with a 7 wicket victory against Adelaide Strikers Women in Match 12 on Friday. Ahead of Sunday’s matches, the Hurricanes are still bottom of the table but level on points with the fifth placed team.
It was a rain-reduced game against Adelaide Strikers Women in Brisbane to end the week and the batters for the Hurricanes knew they could waste no balls with only eight overs in the innings. We expect to see Lizelle Lee (21 runs from 9 balls) and Elyse Villani (39 not out from 24 balls) continue their aggressive batting in this clash.
The Hobart Hurricanes Women’s bowling attack took zero wickets in the eight overs in the last match but they kept it tight enough to win the match. In this 20-overs aside fixture in Launceston they will need to be more threatening but they certainly have the attack to do it.
Hobart Hurricanes Women enjoyed the shorter format in the last game as they have been disappointing in the 20 overs aside matches.

It has been a slow start fixture wise for Sydney Thunder Women who have played only two matches in the tournament with others having played five by the time this gets underway. However, Thunder have a 100% record with wins by 42 runs and 8 wickets so far.
Many of the spectators at this match will be supporting the home side but there will also be a large number looking forward to seeing Sri Lanka Women’s international Chamari Athapaththu batting. She is a fine player and comes into this game after hitting 80 runs from 54 balls in the last game.
With the experienced England Women’s skipper Heather Knight leading the side, we can expect plenty of bowling changes during this fixture for Sydney Thunder Women who will not want to let any of Hobart’s batters settle. Athapaththu’s off-spinners will be very dangerous on this pitch.
Sydney Thunder Women are looking to make it three wins in a row in the WBBL in this match.

With both teams winning their last games, the Hurricanes and Thunder will both approach this match with a positive mindset. Sydney Thunder Women have been very impressive this season with Heather Knight’s captaincy catching the eye and they have quality throughout their team. We expect Hobart Hurricanes Women to be second best and are backing Sydney Thunder Women to win.
