Players to watch out:

Eleanor Larosa

The 18-year-old all-rounder made a promising debut in Australia’s premier domestic competition earlier this year. Eleanor was then roped in for an U19 Tri-Series in Sri Lanka, featuring the hosts and England, where in the T20 games she registered scores of 44*, 41*, and 3, while also taking two wickets. She can be counted on for the goods.

Maggie Clark

The 17-year-old pacer was the leading wicket-taker at the 2023 U19 Women’s World Cup and continued to make her mark in the tri-series in Sri Lanka earlier this year. Maggie followed up her expensive returns of 0/17 (2) from the T20 opener with figures of 2/18 (3) and 1/25 (3). She is a promising talent and can be relied upon for breakthroughs.

Emma McLeod

The 18-year-old top-order batter in the 2023 U19 Women’s World Cup amassed 93 runs from 3 innings, at an average of 31.00 and a strike rate of 150.00. Emma, in the senior women’s domestic competition, managed a few runs last season and, in her only T20 outing, scored 23 runs. It’ll be hoped she finds her feet early in this series.

Anika Todd

The teen all-rounder earlier this year in the Women’s T20 Pacific Cup impressed with both bat and ball against strong opposition, contributing scores of 25*, 21, 15, and 10, while with the ball, she produced figures of 2/16, 0/21, and 1/9. Across competitions, Anika has made her mark, and it will be worth tracking her progress in this tri-series.

Pitch:

The 22-yard strip at the Alan Pettigrew Oval is known to favor batters, with the average score at the venue in the 140s. However, the pitch is well-balanced, offering enough support to both spinners and pacers.

Weather:

It will be a pleasant day for cricket in Brisbane, with no expected rain interruptions and clear sunny skies. The temperature is forecasted to hover around 28°C, with light winds and a humidity of 51%.
