Who will win Perth Scorchers vs Hobart Hurricanes, WBBL 2019?
Perth Scorchers need one point from their back-to-back fixtures against Hobart Hurricanes at Lilac Hill Park to secure their place in the WBBL|05 semi-finals. The first of those two matches takes place on November 30 and gets underway at 14:00 local time.
The Scorchers beat Sydney Sixers twice at Lilac Hill Park to move to the brink of a semi-final spot – Amy Jones and Meg Lanning’s opening partnership again set the tone for the most recent of those wins, as the Australia captain hit 81 in an eight-wicket win.
Hobart Hurricanes, on the other hand, can no longer reach the play-offs. They lost their most recent match to Adelaide Strikers, finishing just short on 141/7 in pursuit of 144 to win. They have lost their last five consecutive matches against the Scorchers too.

Perth Scorchers Women Team News & Playing 11
PRSW Team News
Samantha Betts retained her place last time out and took two more wickets and she could well continue at the expense of Emma King and Piepa Cleary as the Scorchers look to build momentum.
PRSW Key Players
Nat Sciver: The England all-rounder continued her good form last time out with another wicket – her fifth in as many games – and an unbeaten 39 to get the Scorchers over the line. It followed up her half-century in the previous game and takes her to 321 runs in total.
Meg Lanning: The captain’s excellent 81 last time out saw her overtake opening partner Amy Jones, with whom she has forged a brilliant partnership, in the run-scoring charts again. Lanning now has four half-centuries and 419 runs in total.
Heather Graham: Starred in this fixture with bat and ball last year, including an excellent super over, and she has scored 124 runs so far this season, alongside taking 14 wickets. Ten of those wickets have come in her last six matches.
PRSW Team Form
Perth Scorchers have now won six of their last seven matches, with back-to-back wins against Sydney Sixers putting them on the brink of the semi-finals. Nat Sciver hit 52 in a total of 152/5 in the first of those, before Heather Graham and Kim Garth took two wickets apiece as they restricted the Sixers to 100/9. Last time out, meanwhile, Meg Lanning (82) and Amy Jones (41) shared another century partnership to lead a chase of 165 to win, before Sciver’s 39* from 22 balls got them over the line with eight wickets to spare.

Hobart Hurricanes Women Team News & Playing 11
HBHW Team News
Hobart Hurricanes were unchanged last time out, with teenager Emma Manix-Geeves continuing as wicket-keeper in place of Emily Smith, and Sasha Moloney continuing in place of Meg Phillips – with Fran Wilson pushed up the batting order. Despite another narrow defeat, the changes could be to the batting order rather than the personnel this time.
HBHW Key Players
Heather Knight: The England captain is the hurricanes’ top scorer, just ahead of Nicola Carey, having scored 246 runs so far this season – that includes two half-centuries. Carey is just behind on 237.
Belinda Vakarewa: Excellent figures of 4-19 in the win against Sydney Sixers, followed by 3-17 in the narrow defeat to Brisbane Heat, have helped her to the top of the wicket-taking charts with 19 from 11 matches. She has also bowled two maiden overs.
Maisy Gibson: The leg-spinner is next on the Hurricanes’ bowling list, taking 12 wickets so far this season.
HBHW Team Form
Narrow defeats to Brisbane Heat and Adelaide Strikers have officially ended Hobart’s hopes of reaching the semi-finals, though the writing was already on the wall with their six defeats in a row prior to beating Sydney Sixers. Against Brisbane, Belinda Vakarewa took 3-17 as the Heat set 158 to win, but Hobart fell short on 150/7. It was even closer against the Strikers – set 144 to win, Chloe Tryon hit 44* from 22 balls but the Hurricanes were too far behind the required run rate at that point and finished just short again, on 141/7.
