AS-W vs BH-W Team Preview & Analysis

Adelaide Strikers Women

The Adelaide Strikers Women’s team has struggled this season, winning just one of five matches and languishing at the bottom of the table. Maths-wise, their campaign is still alive, but they need to start winning consistently.

Laura Wolvaardt has performed brilliantly, scoring 142 runs at an average of 47.33 and leading the batting line-up. Bridget Patterson and Maddie Pena have shown some glimpses of form, but they need to convert their starts into match-winning innings.

Their bowling has been mixed. Darcy Brown has taken 10 wickets at an average of 6.21, while Amanda Wellington and Sophie Ecclestone have provided considerable success. However, the rest of the attack has failed to maintain pressure, bowling expensive overs at crucial moments.

• Laura Wolvaardt
• Darcie Brown
• Sophie Ecclestone
• Amanda-Jade Wellington

Brisbane Heat Women

The Brisbane Heat women’s team has lost all five matches so far and is experiencing its worst outing of the season. They desperately need a win to restart their campaign.

Nadine de Klerk has scored 108 runs at a strike rate of 127, while Grace Harris, Chinelle Henry, and Charlie Knott have shown some good form. However, their consistent poor form has hurt them significantly.

Their bowling unit has been expensive, with only Lucy Hamilton, Nadine de Klerk, and Jess Jonassen showing any form. They will need to be very strong to compete here.
