BH-W vs PS-W: Brisbane Heat Women
Brisbane Heat Women tasted defeat for the first time this WBBL 2024 season as they went down against Hobart Hurricanes in the 10th fixture. Grace Harris’ 75 off 57 balls and Jemimah Rodrigues’ late heroics of 45 off 27 powered Brisbane to 173/5 in the first innings. It was a decent score until the Hurricanes responded with aggressive intent in the chase.
Danielle Wyatt scored a blistering 62 off 35 balls which included 6 fours and 3 sixes. Elyse Villani and Heather Graham’s supporting roles helped Hurricanes clinch a 7-wicket victory. While the loss was concerning, Brisbane do not necessarily have to press the panic button. They are a good squad at their helm and batters are doing their job just right. The bowlers, especially pacers, must step up to avoid leaking runs in the powerplay and death overs. This weakness might negatively impact their playoff hopes if not addressed immediately.
BH-W vs PS-W: Perth Scorchers Women
Perth Scorchers Women are off to a mixed start this WBBL 2024 season, with a loss and a win each in 2 games. In the previous fixture, the Scorchers batted poorly to post 140 on the board. Meanwhile, Melbourne Renegades posted a 102-run opening stand to cruise in the chase, eventually clinching a 6-wicket victory. Even in the tournament opener against Melbourne Stars, Perth struggled to post 122 runs on the board.
Hence, batting is surely a weakness the Scorchers must overcome to ensure a deep run. They have a starry line with Beth Mooney, Sophie Devine and Amy Jones holding the middle order. Hence, the potential is there; just the execution needs to be precise henceforth. Overall, Perth Scorchers are equally poised to pose a good fight against Brisbane Heat.
BH-W vs PS-W: Pitch Report
Perth’s pitch has not been ideal for batters so far. Fast bowlers will be threatening with the new ball in both the innings. Due to cloudy weather and windy conditions, batters will struggle to score runs and a low-scoring game is highly possible. Batting first is an ideal choice, as the wicket will misbehave in the second innings.
