Players to watch out:

Chloe Piparo

The 29-year-old batter, averaging 92.00, has racked up 368 runs from 6 outings and registered the highest of 104. Chloe has displayed consistency this season and on WNCL return, departed for a fine 58 and followed up with an unbeaten 79. She is a reliable top-order batter and will be counted on to lead the scoring.

Piepa Cleary

The 27-year-old pacer has bagged 9 wickets, including the best of a 4-fer, this WNCL season from 6 outings and maintained an economy rate of 4.05. Piepa has registered figures of 0/38 and 1/27 in her previous couple of outings, the 2nd leg fixtures, and it’ll be hoped that she gets to her wicket-taking best.

Georgia Adams

The 30-year-old English all-rounder linked up with the side for the 2nd leg WNCL fixtures following a quiet Bash season; however, she has registered successive scores of 43, 70, 22, and 43. It’ll be expected of the seasoned campaigner to build on the start she has had and also chip in with the ball.

Erin Burns

The 35-year-old all-rounder had a quiet WNCL season with the bat, but it changed in the last outing as she notched up a mature 107* and will be backed to follow it up with another significant score. With the ball, she has taken 7 scalps from 5 outings and will be banked upon for the goods.

Pitch:

With an average score in the 190s, the 22 yards at W.A.C.A. Ground make up a well-balanced pitch that offers a fair contest between bat and ball. However, bowlers, pacers in particular have the upper hand on this wicket.
