Players to watch out:

Lizelle Lee

The 32-year-old opening batter from 82 WBBL outings has amassed 2,133 runs, at an average of 27.34, a strike rate of 126.81, and registered the highest score of 103*, with three centuries and 11 fifties to her name. Notably, Lizelle amassed 409 runs from 13 innings last summer, at a strike rate of 146.07. She has had a quiet start to this WBBL season but was among the runs leading up to the competition and hopefully finds her footing.

Amy Smith

The 19-year-old spinner from 45 innings has picked up 26 wickets, at an economy rate of 7.04, and recorded the best of 3/17. Amy found notable success last WBBL season, picking up 9 wickets from 12 innings, including the best of 3/17, while maintaining an economy rate of 7.35. She didn’t feature in any domestic games this season leading up to the WBBL but can be counted on to produce breakthroughs and handy batting cameos.

Sarah Bryce

The 24-year-old keeper-batter from 58 T20I outings has accumulated 1,290 runs, at an average of 28.66, a strike rate of 106.52, and registered the highest score of 67. The leading run-scorer for Scotland in Women’s T20Is, Sarah has accumulated 102 runs from 3 outings in this debut WBBL season. She scored 36* on debut and followed up with her maiden WBBL fifty, and given this form, she can be counted on for the runs.

Courtney Sippel

The 23-year-old pacer from 50 WBBL innings has claimed 47 wickets, at an economy rate of 7.57, and produced the best of 4/27. Extending her success in the WBBL, Courtney claimed 16 wickets last WBBL season, at an economy rate of 7.42. She claimed just 1 wicket from 3 outings in a recent T20 competition, and come the WBBL games, she has stepped up with bowling returns of 2/33 and 1/26 and can be relied upon to lead the tally.

Pitch:

The center wicket at the Bellerive Oval has traditionally favored batters and expect it to be no different for this game, with the average score in the 140s. However, this deck has just enough in it for bowlers as well, especially spinners.

Weather:

The temperature is forecast to hover around 19°C, with a humidity level of 51% and moderate winds. If the skies don’t clear, expect rain delays and interruptions during the early match hours, with showers on the radar.

Fantasy playing XI:

Sarah Bryce, Danni Wyatt-Hodge, Elyse Villani, Ellyse Perry, Heather Graham, Ashleigh Gardner, Nicola Carey, Chloe Tryon, Kathryn Bryce, Sophie Ecclestone, Molly Strano
