With the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) 2024 heating up, Match 4 will see Hobart Hurricanes Women go head-to-head with Sydney Thunder Women on Monday, October 28 at Bellerive Oval, Hobart. It will be an interesting contest as both teams try to make an early statement in the competition.

Hobart Hurricanes Looking To Make a Mark

The Hurricanes had an indifferent season last time out which saw them win six and lose seven to eventually finish sixth. Determined to make a push for playoff contention this time around, they have a strong captain in the form of veteran Elyse Villani.

A reasonably fearful batting lineup spearheaded by Villani, Lizelle Lee, and Danni Wyatt-Hodge sees them hope to build competitive totals. Chloe Tryon, Kathryn Bryce, and Heather Graham add depth to the all-round strength of the team.

Meanwhile, Molly Strano, Lauren Smith, and Nicola Carey make for a bowling unit that aims at strong performances with the new ball to set the tone for their campaign on a well-rounded effort.

Sydney Thunder Aiming To Start With a Win Under New Skipper

Sydney Thunder reached the Eliminator last season, however, they lost to Brisbane Heat, In the upcoming season, they will be led by the young Phoebe Litchfield.

At just 21 years old, Litchfield is the youngest full-time captain in WBBL history. Her leadership skills will be crucial in this campaign for the Thunder. The batting lineup remains strong, with the likes of Georgia Adams and Heather Knight leading the charge. 

All-rounders Chamari Athapaththu and Saskia Horley add depth to the team. The bowling attack, led by Shabnim Ismail and Hannah Darlington, will look to secure early breakthroughs as they look to kick-off things with a win.

How Will the Bellerive Oval Pitch Behave?

The Bellerive Oval is a venue that assists batters, usually yielding first-innings scores above 150 runs. Both teams would want to capitalize on that, but pacers will need to rely on variations to test the opposition's batters. Spinners are likely to slow down their deliveries and use more flight.
