Sydney Thunder Women Team News & Playing 11
Rachael Haynes and skipper Alex Blackwell have been the most reliable batters for the Thunder. Haynes is currently amongst the top five batters of the WBBL 2017/18 and the team will look to her to score the big runs against the Scorchers. Rene Farrell, Samantha Bates and Nicola Carey are the potential match-winners with the ball. Farrell has taken the most wickets for her side so far and she is coming off a three-wicket haul in the last game against Brisbane Heat.

Perth Scorchers Women Team News & Playing 11
The opening pair of skipper Elyse Villani and Nicole Bolton holds the key to Scorchers' batting. The former is the tournament's second-highest run-scorer this WBBL (481 runs including five fifties) and it will be crucial for the team that she plays a good knock here. Katherine Brunt took three wickets in the last game to help her side restrict Melbourne Renegades to just 112. The seamer is leading the wickets charts (22 wickets in 12 matches) and she could trouble the Thunder in this match.

Both teams are coming into this match high on confidence having won their previous match. Perth Scorchers Women do have the advantage of playing on their home ground and so they will need relatively less time to get acclimatized to the conditions. Sydney Thunder Women, however, have an upper hand in the fact that they have beaten the hosts three times in their last five head-to-head encounters. Although both teams seem pretty evenly matched on paper, we feel the Thunder are slightly better placed to win here.
