Grace Parsons

The 21-year-old leg-spinner made her WBBL debut this season, returning figures of 0/27 (3), but soon found her rhythm, returning figures of 3/22 (4) and 1/15 (4) in subsequent outings. Leading up to this WBBL season, Grace picked up 17 wickets from 9 white-ball outings in this summer’s fixtures so far. She has been around the domestic circuit and has risen through the ranks to become a seasoned spinner and can be trusted for breakthroughs.

Pitch:

The W.A.C.A. Ground offers a good batting deck with an average score in the 160s. However, the wicket poses a challenge for batters throughout the game due to its lively nature, especially against pacers, while spinners also remain in play.

Perth promises ideal conditions for the game despite cloudy skies, as the chances of rain are minimal. The temperature is expected to hover around 17°C, with moderate winds and a humidity level of 61%.
