Players to watch out:

Harmanpreet Kaur

The 34-year-old Indian all-rounder, averaging 40.55 in the WBBL, has scored 1379 runs in 53 batting outings and taken 32 wickets from 33 bowling innings, including respective bests of 81* and 4/27. Harmanpreet is in the midst of another brilliant season in the competition, and in her previous 4 outings, she has registered scores of 52*, 47, 45, and 10. In a misfiring ‘Gades lineup, runs off Harmanpreet’s blade will be crucial.

Georgia Wareham

The 24-year-old all-rounder in the WBBL, in 36 batting outings, has raced to 549 runs, including the best of 57*, at a strike rate of 131.73, while also picking up 42 wickets in 59 bowling outings. With 2-fers in 3 straight games, Georgia was outstanding with the ball early in the tournament but finished wicketless in her previous 4. However, she has been invaluable with the bat and already has a couple of scores in the 40s and has notched up a career-best 57* as well.

Rhys McKenna

The 19-year-old pace all-rounder had a decent lead-up to the WBBL but initially didn’t find much success in the competition. While Rhys’ struggles with the bat continue, she’s grown in confidence with the ball, and following a few expensive outings and being under-bowled, Rhys in her most recent outing bowled her complete quota of overs and finished with brilliant figures of 3/18 (4).

Milly Illingworth

The 18-year-old pace all-rounder in her first outing bagged her maiden WBBL wicket and finished with figures of 1/18 (2). Milly hasn’t yet bowled her complete 4 overs, however, in the little she’s bowled she’s been exciting. Her previous 4 bowling figures read, 0/12 (1), 1/12 (2), 0/13 (2), and 0/12 (2). Milly’s first runs in the Bash were off a maximum and remained unbeaten on 14 in her most recent outing.

Pitch:

The wicket at Junction Oval, Melbourne, provides a certain degree of assistance to the batters. Although it is a batting-friendly surface, the average score at the venue remains in the 140s, indicating there’s assistance for bowlers, both spinners and pacers to exploit.
