BH-W vs HH-W Preview: Brisbane Heat Eye Hat-trick Of Wins

Currently at the second position on WBBL 10 points table, Brisbane will replace Sydney Thunder Women at the top of the table if they’re able to register their third victory in a row. Also second in terms of the NRR (Net Run Rate) at this point in time, Heat would also better Thunder in this aspect as well.

A major reason behind their success in the season so far is how most of their batters have contributed during various phases of the first two matches. Captain Jess Jonassen, meanwhile, has led from the front in true ways on the back of her offering across departments.

BH-W vs HH-W Preview: Hobart Hurricanes Target Ending Losing Streak

Having lost their previous contest against ST-W by 33 runs, Hobart would be keen to not only return to winning ways but also bring an end to a three-match losing streak against BH-W. HH-W, who lost both their matches against this opposition during WBBL 9, last defeated them almost a couple of years ago.

With one of the lesser-known batting units at their disposal as far as the paper is concerned, Hobart need a tried and tested name in Danni Wyatt-Hodge to do justice to her reputation after two initial failures.

Even though not identical to Jonassen’s all-round skills, Hurricanes’ Heather Graham has also performed to the best of her abilities to the extent that she’s currently the joint-highest wicket-taker in the tournament.

BH-W vs HH-W: Pitch Likely To Favour Batters

Junction Oval, Melbourne, is a stadium widely known to host Women’s matches. As any Australian venue would do, it is highly likely to offer assistance to the pacers.

That said, it wouldn’t be surprising if the batters call the final shots here. Out of the 12 Women’s T20Is that have been played at this ground, an average innings total in the mid-130s is an indicator of the same. Although still below the 140-run mark, the number increased a bit during the ninth season of the WBBL where this ground hosted as many as 11 matches.
