AS-W vs MR-W, 29th Match - Top Captain and Vice-captain choices
Scenario: If Melbourne Renegades Fields First
Harmanpreet Kaur (MR-W)
India international Harmanpreet Kaur is the leading run-scorer for the Renegades so far in WBBL 9. The right-handed batter has 205 runs to her name at an average of 41.00 with one half-century. The in-form Harmanpreet is a good and worthy pick for this category against the Strikers.
Georgia Wareham (MR-W)
Georgia Wareham has amassed the second-most runs after Harmanpreet for Melbourne in this campaign. The right-hander has close to 200 runs under her belt at an average of 39. Wareham has consistent scores of 10, 44, 25, 30, 47* and 36.
Scenario: If Adelaide Strikers Fields First
Katie Mack (AS-W)
As mentioned, Katie Mack has racked up the most runs for the Strikers this season. The right-handed opening player has hit 292 runs at an average of 42 which includes three half-centuries. Mack will look to continue her solid form and again provide her team a solid start in a big run-chase.
Tahlia McGrath (AS-W)
All-rounder Tahlia McGrath has amassed the second-most runs after Mack for Adelaide so far. McGrath also has four wickets to her name in six outings. With the bat, McGrath has hit 162 runs and is averaging 32.40. Her scores read as 34*, 31, 10, 1*, 20, 36 and 30.
AS-W vs MR-W, 29th Match - Big Risk, Big Return Choices
Laura Wolvaardt (AS-W)
South Africa international Laura Wolvaardt has managed to score only 117 runs so far in seven innings this season. The right-handed opening player is averaging just 19.50 with no half-century under her belt. The quality batter is due for a big knock and she might deliver it in this fixture.
Tammy Beaumont (MR-W)
England international Tammy Beaumont has struck 173 runs in seven innings in WBBL 9. The right-handed opening player has an average of 25 and is still searching for her first half-century of the campaign. She might be a risky but worthy choice for this contest against the Strikers.
